Dan Manucci is a waste of time

[azsouthendzone]

What a waste this guy is. Weeks 1-17 all he does on Channel 12 is rip the living hell out of the Cardinals. When they win it is because the other team isn't very good, when they lose it is because "they are the same old Cardinals." It is pretty funny how that this guy used bow down to everyone associated with the Cards when he was on the broadcast team but now since he is on the ghost town radio station KDUS I think we are seeing some sour grapes from the former Arizona Wrangler back up QB. Channel 12 either thrives on bashing the Cards thinking it is what the viewers want, or they use this guy because they have no one else.

McCabe is the same way on FSN. Remember he used to do the Cards sideline reports at home games. I think the Cards booted him off because of his wise a$$ comments.

Actually if you listen to national media such as ESPN, NFL Network, or Sirius NFL Radio, the national commentators are usually pretty fair in their analysis. Its the local hacks that make it brutal for us here in AZ. Local media here likes only a few things: Stories about violence and tragedy, stories about how tragedies that are taking place out of state or country relate to Phoenix, or stories about themselves. The way they cover the Cardinals is a reflection of all three of those things combined.

Mike Chamberlain wherever he is these days was the all time local Cardinals hater. Also "The BIG DORK" at channel 3 Brad Cesmat has got to be the worst sports caster in town no contest.Plus his donkey teeth are distracting.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Don't forget about how they also always try to attach themselves to "winners" in any way they can.
Our metro area really suffers from a weird kind of low self-esteem issue. It reminds me of half the idiot "visiting team" fans that end up sitting next to me at every game. You can tell that 90% of them live here in PHX and listen to these clowns on TV and assume that their team is going to blow out the Cards. It's entertaining to see them go from cocky to optimistic to nervous and (if we happen to win) to embarrassed.
Idiots like Kevin McCabe and Mike Chaimberlain are one of the reasons that even in an OK season like this one, the team doesn't get any respect.

Jude La Cava. Hands down. Best sports guy in the valley.

 

[SouthEndZoner]

Jude is pretty good.

Ah ha ha! Very funny! Have you noticed, Brad Cesmat says "My Cardinals" when they win and "Your Cardinals" when they lose?

Yes Manucci is horrible on radio or TV.


Bruce Cooper is usually fair to the Cardinals, but I cant stand his whiney voice.

Manucci isn't drinking the koolaid that many fans do. He say's all the time "win on the field and prove it".

He is horrible, not just on his Cardinal hate, but his radio show is like listening to someone run their finger nails on the chalk board. Richard Sainez is pretty good, and Jude brings it as well.

Well, now we know who you are.

my god maybe I am the only one tired of losing but how can you bash commentators that bash the cards and say "Same old Cardinals"

We have been the same old cardinals for 30 years.

great post. what do we want the writers/sports talk/tv guys to say? they look at this stuff as a job, not as fans as we do.

If a guy is constantly talking praise about the Cards he would be labeled as a Ron Wofley. Wolf never says anything negative against the Cards. Well, at least now that he is a Cards employee.

Same old Cards. Win on Sunday and everyone tune including the media will change their opinion.

No, what you want is him to bash them when they deserve it, but give them credit when they deserve it as well. His show(can't call it a sports show as they are forever off topic) is an exercise in self promotion. He does score some name athletes then kisses their butt more then Rome. He doesn't have to hate on the Cards to be bad, he is bad enough on his own.

You are who we thought you were, and we let you off the hook.

The Roc and Manucci show on radio is horrible. Not because they bash on the Cardinals, but because they are painful to listen to. That has to be one of the worst radio shows in the valley and it's on during the drive home.
