    NFL Live Playing "Name The Backup"

    The longest thought process began with the Bills. Hoge says "Thigpen?" They both agree, then the female "host" says "no, that's not right, it's Brad Smith"

    ...

    ......

    Did I miss something? Is Thigpen not on the team anymore? Is Smith officially a QB? I'm dumbfounded by this, even by ESPN standards (which is about the IQ of an NBA center)

    I really love how the media pays attention to the Bills. It blows my mind that people study for years in college to be journalists or communications majors and ex-millionaire football players get to take their positions...

    I mean I hate to complain, but that's just asinine. We really need more Tebow by the way.
    Bye Bye Brady...

      That's my point. Before hand they said that 3rd string QB's didn't count. So when they said Thigpen (aka the #2 QB) they said 'NOPE! WRONG MORON!' and said that our gimmick WR/Wildcat/RB/Returner/occasional QB/16 is our #2? That kind of seems like a slap in the face.

          Espn is completely unacceptable ...now for EVERY sport
          The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

            They still have some pretty good college basketball analysts. Jay Bilas is excellent.

              Smith is the better option anyway. Thigpen blows.

                  Totally agree. They don't even have hotties on anymore.

                    They could have named every QB on the roster as a backup in reality.

                      ESPN 'anchors' are experts? I've got some reading to catch up on then don't I?

                            ESPN's problem is that it's become a jock infested talk show channel.

                            ESPN news is what espn used to be. just show the highlights in a loop so that people can turn it on and see what they want and move on.

                            Primetime and gameday are unwatchable because they have so many segments. Do i really need to see former players in suits on studio painted field moving in slow motion to show something when they could just spot shadow like 14 actual game situations?

                            it's just become a place where retired players can continue to act like they are in a locker room. It's tiring. A lot of bickering about hyped up stories like tebow or the saints story.

                            NFL network and NHL network are nice because they keep the sport at the forefront.

                              Well, I haven't watched basketball since the Braves moved from Buffalo & ESPN's coverage of the NHL is just about non existent.
