Here's a hint for ya, if someone is on ESPN and is average to below average looking, then they're probably really good at their job.

Explain The Bear then, he’s ugly, morbidly obese, mildly autistic and barely .500 on his picks.

Disagree. He'solid.

He's allowed to be wrong. Go read your history and see how many hot takes you have that weren't true.

Those commercials with him and hologram Lee Corso last night were cringey.

David Pollack is a symptom of a greater problem at ESPN. Their on air personalities are garbage across the board except for a few that are tolerable.

I’m not looking forward to ESPN taking sole ownership of SEC broadcast rights.

I gotta say that Those AT&T commercials with Him and Corso were painful to watch.

I think Bama needs talking heads to keep telling the team they are done. It is the anti-rat poison and Gives them some outside motivation.

I can’t second this more wholeheartedly. We are all going to realize how misplaced our hate for Gary was.

Where the hell did this guy even come from? It’s like ESPN just walked into the most run down sports bar in the middle of no where Indiana and said this is our guy.

IIRC, he was doing statistics on the GameDay set and they decided to bring him on camera to talk spreads when they made a big push a couple of years ago to cater to the betting crowd.

It could be overlooked if he was actually good at it, but unfortunately he's really not.

The drop off is going to be substantial. It blows my mind that with as large as our universities in the SEC are and with the seemingly endless amount of All Americans the SEC pumps out year after year, that David Pollack and Tim Tebow are the best they could find.

Joey Galloway is the actual worst. He seems like someone pissed in his Cheerios 100% of the time. Also, his takes are generally ignorant.

Agreed. Plus he got absolutely embarrassed by the LSU video team after we beat Florida by putting the clip of him smugly laughing at the thought of LSU having a chance in that game.

The fact that you listen to “analysts” and believe them is more telling. They’re paid to spew any & all rumors regardless of there being truth. Their primary job is to drive ratings.

I don't mind him on gameday. He's not my favorite on the program but I think he's been engrained in the identity of the show.

Just because he has some stupid takes I don't think he should be canceled. I mean Skip Bayless, Joel Klatt, Booger McFarland, Dan Orlovsky, etc. are bigger idiots than Pollack and they still have jobs

I have hated him every since 2013 when Auburn was wrecking shite in the SEC with that ground game and he was on the air saying "It's not fair. It's not fair for the Defense because they have been trained with their eyes and they have to go against everything they have been taught to defend it". GTFOHWTWABS. Liked him better when he was fat.
