Koz Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 well in all fairness to the guy, he isn't a complete horses ass like Irvin or Dion, so it might not be half bad. The one guy with a very bright future in broadcasting in the coming years is Tiki...From what I've seen, he already does some work on the side for the local affiliates, plus he's got a pretty high likability factor. Word also has it that the networks are all vying for ad space on Tiki's collosal noggin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I've always thought Peyton Manning would make a very good broadcaster. Ray Lewis has did some work for NFL Network during Pro Bowl week and I thought he did a decent job. Darren Sharper and Brentson Buckner will most definitely move into broadcasting as well.
