I don't know about that. I may have blown-a-gasket today but, as a result of Graziano's comment, I will be viewing Get Up far less frequently in the future. Losing viewers is not the mission.
Stafford solidly has moved into the Top 3 of NFL Quarterbacks rankings. Not just by pundits, by "us." An amazing accomplishment considering the Top 4 in recent memory, for a good few years was Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Lamar.
Here's Cowherd on Lamar. I, like him, held on to Lamar as Top 4 Elite as long as I could. Stafford has knocked him out.

So.... You're saying maybe NOW you're smarter than that??!!
I stopped watching "hot takes" when Skip Bayless was still the king of that shit. Now every asshole with a mic is looking to piss someone..... ANYONE off with their "wild and crazy" statements. It's nothing but rage bait. I stopped taking the bait and I'm much happier for it.

Unfortunately, as I explained in my response to Stu on the prior page, that doesn't work for me.
I enjoy following the NFL; and, in my opinion, there are knowledgeable, entertaining commentators out there ... including some on ESPN and, specifically, on Get Up. So I consume that show (and others).
Sometimes, I disagree with the opinions expressed and the takes given ... even those offered by commentators I respect. I can ... and generally do ... ignore the commentators I hold in low-regard, and usually ignore takes that are bad, in my opinion.
However, this one by Graziano (who I think is generally kind of middle-of-the-pack) was just SO AWFUL that it really offended me. For me, that means tuning-in far less often.
That's a Lose-Lose. ESPN loses a long-time viewer, and I lose some of the NFL coverage I previously enjoyed.
I also enjoy following the NFL, I think everyone on this forum does......duh. However, these are the dog days of summer, football wise.... which means a LOT of air time to fill with this kind of nonsense. I understand your frustration, but prefer to get out and enjoy other things until real football starts.... Which can't be soon enough.
Fuck Graziano. There are some things accomplished in a career that sets a QB apart from the crowd. Winning a Super Bowl is one. Sure there are guys like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson but out of 60 Super Bowls a couple rare exceptions don't change the fact it's fucking hard. Winning an MVP is another. There aren't any Dilfers or Brad Johnsons there, period. Now to do both puts a guy into rare company. And let's throw in career longevity while we're at it.
Matt Stafford has won a Superbowl and an MVP in the last 5 years. The only other QB able to make that claim in the last 5 years is Patrick Mahomes. Graziano is a moron.

Which is why I am planning the Field Trip discussed in several of my posts on this thread.
Getting together a group of friends, and going to visit the Grazianos.
Seriously though. Every Rams fan on this Forum has Buttons that ... if pushed ... can make a poster crazy.
There are topics that have been discussed over dozens of pages that don't impact me one bit.
This one got me. I am not overly-sensitive to commentators who do not hold Stafford in high regard.
Those are Opinions and Takes that I do not agree with but they are within reason.
However to state that Stafford 'lost the two biggest games of the season' when he played Brilliantly in both ... that made me Bat-Crap-Crazy this morning because that is not an Opinion. It's a false statement.
By-the-way, I love the Summer but it was 95 degrees in Manhattan today ... and humid ... you want me to go out in that weather!? What the Hell did I ever do to you?!?
I was speaking of the opinion that Maye should have been the NFL MVP. I was not speaking to the statement Stafford lost the Seattle games. That’s pure hater bullshit!
The Rams are a team that incurs hate and jealousy. Especially from an East Coast guy who "cant get no satisfaction."
Matthew Stafford is your daddy, Dan.

@Coliseum Ram ... is that a tentative Yes?
We need an accurate count. @RamFan503 is grilling and we need to know how many Brats and Ribs to buy.

ESPN only think there is one position in the nfl, the QB. Wins and losses are all on the QB.
I'm so happy I stopped watching those shows after the butcher job they did on the Rams in 2018 after the championship win against the saints. For the whole two weeks leading up to the superbowl, every time they discussed the Rams they showed a replay of the non dpi call. I used to fast forward the whole show and the only image on the screen was that play. For the whole show. Every day. For two weeks.
They basically conditioned the public to not care when the refs screwed the Rams in the superbowl.

Solozzo told McCluskey the restaurant had 'the best veal in the city'. Michael should have let him finish.
I had the same thought when Gotti's crew took-out Big Paul Castellano on his way into Sparks Steakhouse.
Oh, I agree with you 100%. It's a ludicrous take and I will storm this Graziano nerd's house with you! Pitchforks at dawn!!! No blue font, as I have had a martini or 2 and can't stand the teeth on that dude. I never like heem!! I never TRUST heem!! (let's see who gets that reference)
Weather wise, I'm just south of you on the Delaware coast and tomorrow may be too hot to even open the blinds here. Stay cool my Rams brother!!

Dan Graziano may be one of the worst examples of a guy who "never played the game" but now reports on it after only falling into the role after covering baseball exclusively after college. He got a call form someone at ESPN asking if he'd do a little football, and since then has held his sorry arse out as an NFL expert. What a joke.
