Title: Never thought I'd say it, but I'm starting to find Hoge amusing.
Post by: WEST is GOD on September 08, 2005, 04:53:43 PM
He's hated on the Eagles so much that now it's obvious and has been for a while that it is one big act. I actually am starting to find it funny, and I'm starting to like Hoge. I never thought I'd say it. Even though the Eagles are my team, it's just hilarious to pick against the same team every week. I mean that literally, and not funny in a pathetic way. I commend him. He's stuck to his guns and I'm finally starting to find the humor in it.

Scroll down nice and slowly in anticipation to what his pick will be. I'm looking forward to this every week.

In week 2, when I'm browsing the picks and scroll down and see

I'm not going to contain my laughter.

Then I look at his conniving little smirk and can't help but find it funny. He knows he's up to no good.

Not quite getting that at all. What have they done since last year to improve so markedly, and what have the Eagles done to decline so much, since last NFCCG to make this such a popular pick?

If the majority of those douches are right this weekend, Washington will have sole possession of the NFC East lead.

They like Atlanta for the revenge factor alone. I don't mind them picking the Falcons, I like being an underdog.

Everyone knows why Hoge picked em though. When in week 2 you see a niners logo under his picks, how could you not find it funny? At first he was annoying, because he seemed like a hater, but you can tell it's meant to be entertaining. When you see him on TV he has to hold back from laughing when the Eagles name is mentioned.

He won't pick against the Eagles vs. the Niners.  He will the following week against Oakland, though... guaranteed.

The laughter at the end of the season would totally make that worth it.

my opinion of the east the taterskins and the eagles win this week, dallas has a hard time but that is close for me and giants will see if all that cardinal talk is legit

We need to start a worst nfl anaylst/writer pool. Fat Len, Dr. Douche, Lightbulbhead, Hoge, Leg, McGuire, Collinsworthless, Boomer....the entire bunch. They all suck.

I was thinking of starting an all Merril Hoge sucks thread and just adding to it over the years.  Kinda like the great links thread.   Then we could keep track of his BS and send it to ESPN every year in an attempt to get him fired.

So, you live your life as an extremely stupid or mentally-handicapped person?

His hair does look farged up. But he's got a table top head. It looks like some took a sledgehammer to the top of his cranium.

2 people think the Rams are going to the Superbowl. I think that speaks enough to the standards of Fox Sports.
