Love Clark Kellogg

He is so dead on with his analysis of games, and does not ever do anything to "Hype" himself like so many of these pundits.  It irritates me how that buffoon Seth Davis needles him at every turn.

I would like to see a guy like Jay Bilas work with Clark on the broadcast.  Both are excellent and can add unique perspective to the games as not only former players, but real students of the game. 

How Davis got this job is beyond me.  His predictions are awful, and he adds nothing to the pre game, halftime or postgame broadcast.  Just go back to your Blog, you A-hole.

Greg Gumbel is terrific at playing traffic cop for the broadcast.  CBS has really improved there coverage over the last few years.  The way they kept going back and forth from the Tenn/Butler and Davidson/G-Town games on Sunday was awesome.  We got to witness two great finishes almost simultaneously.  Well done!!

What's wrong with Seth Davis?  On Friday he predicted that at least 5 double-digigt seeds would when after Kellog boringly (and as usual) said all the favorites would win including him really likeing Siena and W Ky.  Guess what?  Seth was 100% on the money. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Clark Kellog and his analyses also always include a very calm, and even kiel demeanor (he's great as a guest on radio shows like Sirius's Rivals Radio) I think CBS could do all tv viewers a favor by making he and Gus Johnson as their number one announcing crew, Clark is so lame when it comes to pciking anything but the favorites. 

Davis is the worst at predicting games, the last three years, I am pretty sure he had Memphis out in the second round, (though this year, he was close) and I think he said Drake would go all the way to at least the sweet 16, he is a buffoon! That's what happens when you graduate from Duke I guess. haha

Good one ericmanon! Good post!

ericmamon,

I have to agree with you on your assessment of Clark Kellog.  He's been consistently good for many many years (and was a great player in college too) and I don't know why CBS doesn't have him doing the whole tourney, championship game included.  He's second to none covering college ball.  Believe it or not as a Tarheel fan I definitely like Jay Bilas as well (hated him when he played at Duke).  I like that Bilas is completely unbiased and wasn't afraid to criticize in person just how soft he thought his alma maters front line was all season and praised Carolina enough to pick them to win it all (I know he's caught major heat for that).  That kind of unbiased commentary is sorely missing from the butt kissing love affairs of listening to Billy Packer and Dickey V and Seth "I Can't Believe I'm Doing This For A Living" Davis.  I also liked Gus Johnson as well.  Gus commentates excitement in these games like he was on the couch with us watching in excitement.  That kind of talent you just can't teach.
