OT: What Is Wrong With Mark Jones From ESPN aka Paul Jones Brother?

[Dan2087]

In honestly happy he doesn't want to be canadian and doesn't want to be associated with our country. They can keep him and no returns

[Shaazzam]

I wonder if he had to deal with some kind of bull when playing for Canada that pissed him off.

[Oakville_Raptor]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Jones saw Paul's twitter profile pic with LeBron and decided to one up his brother by making his with Obama lol

[vaff87]

With the ESPN Cost Cutting going on it will be interesting to see if he lasts beyond his current contract. If you look at his WIKI profile it is a very undistinguished ESPN profile. He seems a bit oi an ESPN substitute teacher.

Mike Tirico is going to NBC, I think. So he probably moves up the ladder a little bit.

[C Court]

Mark Jones ignores the fact that being Canadian was directly responsible for him getting a job in the USA. John Saunders (who is proud to be Canadian) has talked about the homogenous Canadian accent having helped him get hired in the States. Bottom line is the American networks like black broadcasters who sound like white American guys.

John Saunders and Dan Shulman garner more respect than Mark Jones can ever dream of.

Think this most recent one was directed to all the Canadians again. Troll game is strong.

Is the plan for Tirico to replace Al Michaels on SNF? I sure hope not!

I can't stand him. And he has a history of being a massive creep.

Saunders was all class. Helped call some rough games during the early years.

He's right - they dont make band-aids for feelings. Thats evident in his blatant insecurities.

[Potential]

He's trash. Give me Matty D

[mowcrowbar]

I don't know whether I should show pity or laugh, so, here I sit, and wonder at this enigma of psychological insecurities.

Saunders and Leo had good chemistry on the air. This is bringing back memories of the New VR... man we've come a long way.


Also I sure hope Tirico doesn't replace Michaels for SNF but Michaels is 71 so it's most likely going to happen down the road. Never did enjoy Tirico's style for calling games.

Husband,Dad,Son,Sportscaster for ESPN and a bonafide,certified,qualified sports enthusiast.
Proud American.Doing it big or not at all.

It's so sad/funny how hard this guys "acts" and "tries" to be American as if anybody doesn't know he was
born and raised here and his brother has been an employee here since day 1.

Anybody know why he's so strange?

What's his relationship like to his brother, that I want to know.

This^^ something defnitley pissed him off here, this guy has jamaican roots, born and raised in T.O, played for Canada Basketball, I just dont understand all of the hate, maybe he's just joking and trolling us Canadians, who knows.

[RalphWiggum]

It seems pretty obvious to me what his deal is.

He got a job in the US but everyone he worked with didn't like him much because he's a douche. He attributed it to being a Canadian so he has went out of his way to be pro American to some mentally ill level. People probably still think he's a tool. I know as a Canadian I wouldn't respect an American that came up here and just constantly dumped on the US while trying to be overly Canadian. I like it when someone that has been here for a while gets citizenship and identifies as a Canadian but for them to do what Jones does would seem phony insecure.

In closing the guy is just a loser who'd I'd bet big money doesn't have many if any real friends. Let's stop bringing him any attention.

He's the guy people in the office avoid and make fun of once he's walked away.

The truth he is an insecure Canadian nutjob? Im sure that does hurt him very much for some strange reason

[RaptorsJunkie]

I am Canadian but I realize the US is 10x better. Can't hate on the truth!
