Tim Russert and Al Roker

[OpIv37]

I don't usually watch the Today Show, but it was on when I turned on the TV last night. Of course, NBC was hyping the game since it's the only one the NFL lets them broadcast.

Russert did a great analysis of the Democratic presidential debate, and followed it up by unwisely picking the Bills to defeat the Cheatriots 28-17. I'll give him props for loyalty and political analysis, but not for football smarts.

They then went to that fat hypocrite Al Roker, who gave Sunday's weather report for "Rich Wilson Stadium." Someone needs to buy that man a subscription to ESPN INsider.

Re: Tim Russert and Al Roker

oh, and Roker predicted clear weather with temps about 26-30 degrees.

He didn't say anything about the wind, but why would wind matter in "Rich Wilson Stadium" in a November night game?

I liked it when O and A where ripping on Roker a while back for being such a hypocrite

they were going off on him again a week or two ago because he went to a roast and was laughing at people throwing the n-word around, after criticizing Imus and saying that racial humor was never appropriate.

Re: Tim Russert and Al Roker

I am not sure if you know this, but Tim Russert is a huge Bills fan because he is orginally from Buffalo. What would you expect a die hard Bills fan to say on TV? And I don't believe he would think of himself having vast Football smarts. Some people just watch the games for entertainment and don't dabble in every little stat or thing that is happening on the team.

Re: Tim Russert and Al Roker

I'm aware that Russert is from Buffalo.

But I'm just saying he should think things through before saying them on national TV.

Re: Tim Russert and Al Roker

What if he's correct? Is does he become smart then?

Saying how he feels doesn't make him a bad person, nor does it him being a Bills homer.

He does it all the time.

Two years ago he had the Stanley Cup on his Sunday show right before the playoffs started and was holding a Sabres jersey up in front of the cup.

At that moment I felt he jinxed the team.

I never said it made him a bad person- I said it made him unwise.
