The big trend lately is that people who are FUCKING HORRIBLE at their jobs getting defensive about it.
The producer for ESPN's Monday Night Football should have been fired the instant he came to a meeting with the "Celebrity Guest" idea. You know what, maybe it wasn't even his idea. But he didn't fire the cretin that came up with it. Rather, he allowed this abomination to occur.
Someone stuck a mic in Jay Rothman's face. Jay, you're a failure. How would you like to respond?
The defense calls ESPN producer Jay Rothman, who offered an impassioned 20-minute explanation of his approach. "If I fed you down-to-down football for 3½ hours, you would die," he said. "You're going somewhere else. You're not staying with me."
Rothman said fans of the teams involved are hooked but that he must give a national audience a reason to watch, especially during lackluster matchups.
"How the hell am I going to get you interested in Oakland and Seattle?" he said. "It's easy to attack the booth interviews, but you are trying to be a little bit different and get outside the box."
Rothman added that he is playing to his team's strengths. He said if Madden were his analyst, he likely would not have booth visitors, but that doing so works for Kornheiser, such as when he gave Jeff Gordon a waffle iron Monday in honor of the auto racer's Belgian wife.
The Smith interview was notorious because it lasted 6:11, came during a key drive and included clips of him on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," which Smith went on to win.
Rothman said he had Smith wait through four possessions for an appropriate slot.
"I love football," he said. "I just don't believe the masses watching the show want every play dissected for them. They're watching to be entertained and informed."
Hahaha, holy shit. Six minutes of a commercial IN THE GAME for "Dancing With the Stars."
How does it feel, Jay? How does it fucking feel to ruin football in order to shill some retarded "reality tv" show that nobody will remember in a year's time? Does it feel good, Jay? You worthless piece of fucking human garbage.
Jay's just throwing up his hands on this one. "How do I keep you people interested?!!!?" How, Jay? How do you keep all of us interested when we obviously don't love football as much as you do? I know! Christian Slater!
I'm laughing at the superior intellect, Jay. Go fuck yourself. You're in over your head and you should have resigned after week one.
