*Anyone else sense that Mayock thinks Eisen is a douche? Mayock asking WTF Eisen's doing promoting Top 100 players during draft time.

*Any more self-indulgent show than that Top 100 bullshit? Wait, there is. The "Reaction Show" following each segment of 10. Who gives a fuck who's on the list? Best part of that show remains Lyndsay Soto's big tits.

*The dude with the ears (Siciliano) could be as big a dick as Eisen.

*Little OT....but how 'bout no players attending the draft. The hugs & mugging for the camera with Goodell are a major turn-off, literally...I turn the shit off.

Noticed the same thing. He was bagging on Rich during the entire telecast.

I don't watch NFLN anymore (except rare times when they air a game replay from the recent or distant past, or some of the America's Game or other NFL Films type shows). So I didn't see all of that, but I wouldn't doubt your bullet #1 in the least.

Biggest waste of resources .... the NFL gets its own network....and they make an exact duplicate of ESPN....and fill in the remaining time with ridiculous lists.

I guess they do have added coverage of the combine, camps...etc....but its usually unwatchable, just like ESPN.

Swiss, thanks for starting this thread. The NFL network has been a source of frustration for me since its inception. I had high expectations for the network only to be let down year in and year out. Path to the draft a staple show for me but to me it’s an example of how the NFL network does not tap into its resources. The player footage is horrible, the guests are subpar, and they never speak to college coaches let alone pro coaches, gm’s, or scouts. Bermeister, Casserly, Lombardi, Baldinger, Billick, and Mayock are all solid IMO.

As far as Eisen, I agree Mayock despises him as do I. Eisen constantly agitated him by bringing up Tebow’s name at every opportunity. When Mayock finally did engage in the Tebow discussion the NFL network went to a split screen showing Eisen making weird faces as Mayock went off.

Then toward the end of the draft when teams were grading drafts in great detail, Eisen chimed in saying with a vague LaMichael James to San Fran reference, Mayock just rolled his eyes in disgust…classic. Eisen’s 10 minute rant was just awful after the punter was drafted by the jags. Steelafan jokingly opined Eisen was drunk, if only that was the reason behind such douchebagery. I’m all for humor and levity during the draft, but at least make it…you know…funny.

I get why the network hired Eisen, they needed a personality with some hip to him, but Eisen has morphed into a supreme douchebag. Siciliano an embarrassment to people like me with a vowel at the end of their name. He’s a supreme dork and Eisen wannabe that needs to go back to his redzone show on Sundays and stay there.

P.S. Soto ok, but I prefer Alex Flannigan.

I honestly cut ESPN and NFLn out of my life after we lost the Super Bowl. I couldn't stand watching the Packers highlights, but I quickly learned that I could live without the rest of their inane programming. One of the better decisions I've made.

Have you noticed she changed her last name to Rhodes and dresses more conservatively now? Even other people's marriages can be a pain in the ass

I had similar high hopes for the NFLN, but it has been a total waste. Only bright spots, IMO, are the old time games they play and the "America's Game" series, which I do enjoy. They'll occasionally show the old Super Bowls and even in some cases AFC title games. Other than that, it's worthless. They really lost me during the draft when they did the salute to the troops bit and cut to commercial right after the introduction. I get irritated at ESPN a lot, but they showed the whole thing, which to me was the respectful and right thing to do.

Clearly, Mayock treats Eisen with disdain....undoubtedly wandering why he has to put up with this fuckwad when he's trying to talk serious football.

I didn't like the choice of The Smug Little Fuck Rich Eisen from the beginnning.....hating him since incessant railing about the officiating following SB XL.

There's a few shows I like on NFLN.....
*Coaches Show with Billick, and now Denny Green
*Playbook

I agree with you that Alex Flanagan, as far as the chicks go, is far superior to Soto as a professional....she's the best one there.

Funny....and this is a sad commentary, out of the trio of Eisen, Siciliano and Laconfora, I'd take Peaches every time. At least, he seems to know he's a geek.
