<![CDATA[Marino, Sharpe out at CBS]]>Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe lose their jobs on the CBS pregame show. Tony Gonzales replaces them.

Truthfully, Marino and Sharpe were not very articulate. Gonzales appears to be more so. But those 2 did have personality.....which is what I thought they were going for.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/shannon-sharpe-dan-marino-tony-gonzalez-major-cbs-173946358--nfl.html

Of course, Sharpe was heavy on the ebonics with his speaking style and Marino had a lot of Pittsburghese, dees and dems and dose in him.....but it never bothered me.

I also think CBS had too many cooks on that show. Sharpe/Marino/Esiason/Cowher...to me one too many.

Same with Fox when they added Strahan. 1 host and 4 commentators was a bit much.

Same with ESPN, with Berman as host and Jackson/Johnson/Carter/Ditka...and they added Ray Lewis.

Bradshaw has always been a goofball. I just find him silly without really annoying me.

I never paid much attention to the pregame shows.

Perhaps, but more what I meant is that both Gonzalez and Strahan are easy-going type personalities who bring an edge of comedy and 'likability'. It's hard to explain typing it but if you watch the FOX morning show I think you know what I'm saying. I also read some rumors that they're keeping the 4th seat warm for Rex Ryan and/or Peyton Manning when they get out of the league. Who knows on that front though.

They really need to shake up the whole thing and scale it down...

I'd agree to that. When I do watch the show I like loud enthusiastic rants. Deion Sanders was good when he did it too.

The other guys have a duller personality for sure.

Nor with Marino for that matter. I think it's just after awhile these shows have to change face. Guaranteed both have jobs within a month.

The FOX pregame show is better, because they don't take themselves very seriously. I only watch this stuff if the Browns are away anyhow, no biggie to me.

Had a hard time understanding him. Marino I liked. He should have stayed.
