He's brutal but he has a lot of company, in all sports.

SAS = Broke, dead man's version of an anorexic Charles Barkley w/ a Minifro.

However despite his many negatives, I actually liked Quite Frankly when it was on. They should really bring it back.

I think he'd rather be bombastic than correct. I don't think he's giving us even his opinion.

Personally I love SAS I mean thats what they pay him to do. If you talk to him in person, he is a smart and humble man. He puts on a show, like said he can be hit or miss but he is still better then listening to the likes of Mark Jackson talk.

Which includes defense lacking the kind of meaning to him that it should have.

The thing is, he's not knowledgable about the game--I don't think he's a bad journalist, just a terrible analyst. His analysis usually doesn't extend far beyond "WELL THEY HAVE (insert star) BUT I CAN'T SEE ANY TEAM WITH (insert foreign white guy) WINNING ANYTHING!"
