SEC Now show seriously when their analysts don't include ANY one of....... Fletcher Cox, Chris Jones, or Jeffrey Simmons on their All-Time SEC interior DL team.
Hard for me to take......
- Thread starter AstroDog
- Start date
Biased obviously. Not sure how you could name a better DL than any one of those. Is that not three best 5 in the NFL ? At least.
they cater to what the largest # of fans want to hear. Bama, you are great. Georgia you are great. LSU you are great. That's how you keep the largest number of mind numb idiots plugged in.
Simmons and Cox were incredible in college. One of them deserves to be on that list. Jones was really good but I never felt he quite reached their level.
Hard for me take any sports (or non-sports) talk radio/TV/streaming shows seriously. This message board is generally more knowledgeable and smarter than most of them.
I would probably put Glenn Dorsey, Nick Fairley and John Henderson on any list when only looking at CFB results only.
SEC Network = Bama Network. Wonder how Texas is going to take that.
And Chris Jones just came in number 10 for NFL all watever overall player. Whatever the crawl has been announcing the top 100 players. Even if it’s one year or one century, he was named number 10 overall. But not in the SEC for d linemen. All news is fake, even sports. Matt Wyatt said we had 4 players in that top 20 including Dak and Big Play Slay. He wasn’t sure if Cox or Simmons was the other one to make the list.
Just going off college though, Simmons, to me, was the most dominant. But all 3 were tremendous and Preston Smith was pretty dang good too, with an NFL career as well.
If we keep turning out great NFL d linemen, of which, we have a slew of them in the league, at some point they gonna be noted for the players they were in the SEC.
People still sit down and watch sports news/opinion shows?
Huh, wild.
Huh, wild.
One would think that our professional DL and DBs alone would be "enough said" to get pretty much our pick of these Mississippi recruits. How many DL has OM put in the league and to what level of success. Or DBs. Maybe I'm just a Homer and don't know their successes but I can't think of any
Considering Texas will be in the SEC and will also have the largest market share of audience, I'd imagine SECN will quickly be covering Texas as much as LSU/UGA/Bama. Unless there's some non compete with the Longhorn network
Saw the show the other day and had a smile on my face waiting for them to announce the all-time defense. When the names came up on the screen I about threw up in my mouth when none of our defensive guys showed up. I think about 4 teams showed up on their list, mostly Bama boys. Totally ridiculous. Watched SEC Now for a hour & a half and never saw MSU mentioned at all. We are still in the SEC, aren't we??? But this is no surprise, it's the same every year (except maybe 2014).
peace is not profitable, remember that. sell despair, anger, disgust, fear, controversial division, sadness and hopelessness. that sells like crazy and goes viral.
I used to watch Skip and Shannon. Sharpe has some good takes. Skip is and will always be a clown shoes troll. Just like Cowturd.
Most shows are terrible.
Disney thinks people want big personalities on every show on their networks. They are desperate to recreate the magic of John Madden/Lee Corso/Stuart Scott/Chris Berman. But people just want a talking head that actually loves the sport enough to know about the teams. That's what made those guys so good, their knowledge in addition their expertise.
This cram sesh, pop-quiz, repeat the grade type of ******** ignorance that has been pretty much every "analyst" that is forced to talk about any team not bama/uga/lsu has been a decade of embarrassment as a sports fan.
It's sad that they can't even bother to learn about the 14 teams they have to cover
While they are all monsters and were/are elite in the NFL, there have been many comparable, elite players in the SEC. Jevon Kearse, Clowney, Glen Dorsey, Will Anderson, Miles Garrett just off the top of my head.
My top 3 in order would be Henderson, Dorsey Simmons
Read a long article on the LHN this morning and it goes away next year so prepare to be even further relegated to the bottom of SECN. OK going to suck a lot of oxygen as well. Just win baby, all we can control and do about it.
They put in Nick Fairly of Aubarn, and Quinnen Williams of BAMA, plus one from LSU. Simmons is as good or better than any one of them. Don't get me even started on comparing Cox & Jones vs anyone of the others. I would even argue those 3 from MSU are the 3 best EVER. Maybe, the only one I would put ahead of our 3 would be Reggie White of UT.....and they didn't even sniff him!

Chris Doering had his all-time SEC East team and Herschel Walker was not the running back.
That's just downright STUPID. Walker would have been my first pick, then Bo Jackson.
Neither of those guys played football in the SEC East. It wasn't a thing until the 90s
And if they did play, Jackson would've been in the West anyway
Haha, I can't believe any State fan would waste their time watching an SEC discussion on ESPN or SEC network unless the program was interviewing someone from State. Our demographics are so small that we are considered the land mass between Alabama and Louisiana.
Henderson has better stats than any of them. Was the Outland trophy winner and two time all American. Reggie White was a DE, was it interior DL or any DL. If it’s DE’s David Pollack has the most absurd stats of any SEC DL and has to be the clear #1.
I’m certainly better at Friday Fourplay than the rest of those bastards
I think he had other players on the team from before there was actually and SEC east though. Maybe I was mistaken.
