GMFB

[Elmgrovegnome]

Brandt is annoying. Kay is a Rams hater, with a smile. Nate was pretty even handed and Pete is a bit of a fan boy. but not unbearably so...

You pegged them all. I couldnt put my finger on why I dislike Shraeger. Now I know what it is.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

This is my favorite football show and I like each one of them. They present football in a fun, energic way, and they try to cover each team instead of just the Cowboys. I'm really going to miss Nate, today's episode is touching.

 

[OldSchool]

Nate is the best, I’ll watch whatever he moves to.

 

[BigRamFan]

Liked him much better before he became a SJW...

 

[Allen2McVay]

Yeah, he’s talented and versatile. Should do well on the CBS Morning Show.

However, he is replacing my favorite, Anthony Mason. Demographics, I guess.

 

[Rambitious1]

PMSL, sorry!

I thought we were talking about Gil Brandt as I've not seen the show and now back in the UK.

Can you call me a taxi whilst I get my coat please?

You’re a Taxi…..

We must be seperated by a common language, because I can't understand ANYTHING of what you've written.

Count me in this camp as well. Lol

Yeah, Kyle Brandt is okay, but in small doses. I grew up in LA and I don't doubt he worked hard to get the gig, loves sports and occasionally says something funny, but he has that try hard "I sat in on the Groundlings for 3 months around 2015 and it changed my life" vibe... I dunno... growing up even kinda in proximity to "Hollywood", knowing people on both sides of the camera, etc... it really makes it hard to just enjoy without seeing how the sausage is made... and I wasn't exactly a butcher if ya catch my meaning. He strikes me as more Bill Engvall lite in that he laughs the loudest at his own jokes (well, shouts on set, but yeah, same difference)

However, if you doubt the small doses, did anyone catch his solo show? It was beyond cringey and doomed from the start. I mean, it was bad for a youtube clip show, let alone a fully funded show with NFL Network backing.

Kay... sorry, don't get the "cute" thing. I mean, yeah, she's kinda photogenic, but she comes across to me as that chick who will absolutely talk shit about all her friends after that first appletini is drained. Oh, and how many times is she gonna be in a big t-shirt after a segment because she spilled coffee on her outfit?

Schrags I dig, but he's at his best when he's doing his thing as opposed to riffing with Brandt.

I love Nate's passion, but it's clear when they're doing stuff written by the producers who "think this is great", but is worse than bad skit night at a Webelo camp (group just before Boy Scouts in the states for those that don't get that reference). I appreciate that Nate does his homework and he's graduating (that's what it is).

I stopped watching some time ago because unless it's Brady's team, Green Bay or part of some trade/injury or some fantasy listical, they ain't gonna talk about ya. I swear, when the Rams make a trade and they have to talk about the latest "Blockbuster Rams trade"... I can just see Kay Adams and Kyle Brandt roll their eyes.

Yea that Kyle Brant spinoff was really a microcosm of the problem with MGFB. Brant trying to be funny and witty while shouting and literally no one laughing. It was the very definition of cringe. I felt bad for him.

I agree Peter has potential and does a fine job digging for substantive stories. Problem is these others are more focused on performance that Peter feels he has to play the game to fit in, and it's like watching a prep rich boy be like the gangbangers. You feel he's dumbing down his value and looking like an idiot rather than setting an example for them.

Kay is Kay. She plays the sex angle and made alot of money doing it. Sex sells and she knows it. Same thing as girls making money on tick tok by dressing like skanks.

Nate has always played the performer thing as well. Acting like he's smooth and cool. It's so overboard and insulting to fans that like the X's and O's. But he does have potential. He has a great presence and will probably do well away from GMFB. If he realizes no one cares for the fake cool guy stuff and appreciate the deeper insights he can provide.

I haven't watched it in years. It's like Twinkies for middle schoolers. Quick sugar rush of hype, zero substance and lots of headaches afterwards.

Go look at how they played Jake Funk up before the draft. It was pretty cool actually. They asked him questions & voted him the best future draft pick interview.They highlighted him & olYed we got the Funk & Play that Funky music.

I listened to Funk and saw the highlights they put up.When The Rams stated him in the (7th) 6th ? I was totally shockzed.

Nate played the game. The others didn't. It can't be easy to do a show where you have to appeal to 32 different fan bases. Having said that, I enjoy the show. It's better than Skip & Shannon or any of those other templates.

@Elmsgrovegnome....."Kay is nice too look at but she seems to be trying to be sexy during the show."
That's sounds like a "you" problem and not a "Kay" problem.

I noticed now that Kay will ask a question of the group and then says go, followed by puckering her lips, and looking at the camera. She’s always playing with her hair, and tilting her head, and just trying to ooze sex appeal in general. She’s smokin hot (even more so after her plastic surger). But she didn’t do any of that when she started on the show. As a football talk show personality I found the informed professional easier to watch. Now I keep picturing her in underwear doing a Whitesnake/Tawny Kitaen sex crawl on a chaise lounge while the rest of the dorks pretend to be entertaining while they talk football and pretend not to notice her. It is distracting and seems a bit demeaning to Kay as a professional, unless of course she enjoys it. Which gives me less respect for her professional opinions. Since the old her did none of this I keep wondering did she take a sex appeal class or has she been coached by a NFL Network hire on how to be more sexy.

It has become less about serious football topics and a lot more about light entertainment mixed with some eye candy. It’s as if they felt the need to sell the show. It didn’t need fixing imo.

I bet those dorks go home and wank it after every show thinking about her. Kyle and Pete probably sneak into her dressing room and fight over her panties.

 

[bluecoconuts]

I find the show enjoyable, for the most part, I usually like it more after a big Rams win, especially if it's a primetime game, or even better a TNF/MNF game so most of the coverage is about the Rams.

I liked all of the regular personalities, Kay is probably my least favourite, but that's mostly because she's a Rams hater after her sister didn't make the cut with the move. I understand where she comes from, but it's a pretty shit move and probably part of why she's doing that, and not moving onto other things.

Peter is a good friend of McVay's and Kyle is usually high on the Rams as well, both of them have done some preseason stuff for us at times IIRC, so it's fun to hear their takes when they're usually more positive.

I wouldn't watch it that much, mostly because I cut the cord, but I didn't have any major gripes about it when I did like some of you.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

I’m dead serious. They have grown a lot since the beginning and are actually insightful. I feel like some of the criticism here is exaggerated or from someone who hasn’t watched in a while.

Kay doesn’t play the sex angle. She wears makeup and that’s it. He clothes are regular, hair is in a bun some days, and she’s not trying to show cleave. If there’s a person that plus the sex angle, it’s my girl Cynthia Freeland. She goes all out.

They do good interviews with players and coaches, and upcoming draft prospects, and cover every team. I guess some prefer the shows where they just sit there and argue with each other and don’t really research the team they’re debating.

Kay’s gone a little heavy with the spray tan lately…her personality just grates on me and then there’s the RAM hate.

Cynthia is hot and works it and she’s smart. Good combo.

 

[RhodyRams]

Kay just wears way too much makeup now....she used to be hot in that MaryAnn kind of way...now...bleh

 

[Angry Ram]

Idk. She plays the whole "I'm a girl that knows football and talk about numbers but I'm also a hot blonde so you can't judge me based on my hotness" vibe too much for my liking.

My favorite female host is Lindsay Rhodes. I haven't watched Total Access since she left, but her new podcast is really good.

I'm all about Jourdan Rodrigue.....She's cute...she's TALL....She's funny and knows and understands football better than most analysts AND she knows how to communicate her insights....

 

[Mackeyser]

Honestly, I don't give a single shit if they put out some woman up for "My 600 lb life"

As long as her voice isn't like the Nanny (I like the show, but don't want it touching my football vibe) or some super phlegmy smoker's lung voice... and she really knows the game... I'm good.

Maybe I have too much faith in fans, but seems to me that if they focused both on really good info and analysis as well as tons of tutorials and educational information, they wouldn't have to dumb down the broadcast with bullshit "hot takes", and listicles that aren't even worthy of BuzzFeed...

Like others, the only time I watch is after a big Rams win because Shrags will be happy and excited and Kay will have all the enthusiasm of a spoiled rich girl being given a used Honda Civic for her 16th birthday when all her girlfriends were given BMW 3 series.
