Michael Strahan
Stephon Marbury Has Some Free Time
This video is the first of a four-part series featuring some random guy and Stephon Marbury. Check out SLAM Online for the background.
This isn’t gut-bustingly funny, but I’m willing to bet it beats the hell out of every episode of Michael Strahan’s show.
Starbury gets paid millions of dollars to do nothing, so I’m expecting plenty more random videos featuring his head tattoo. He needs to become a guy who shows up everywhere and anywhere there’s an ongoing broadcast.
I want to see cut-aways of him watching NBA games, college games, the Academy Awards, everything. Maybe he could even get interviewed on the scene of the next natural disaster. Or better yet, just have him walk by in the background like “Where’s Waldo”.
FOX is Known For Making Good Decisions
Hey, Vinny Chase found a worse actor than himself
It’s pretty easy to bash on FOX considering all the horrific blunders they’ve made in the past. Off the top of my head, they cancelled Family Guy, butchered their BCS broadcasts, employed Joe Buck and recently lost a lawsuit brought against them by the writers of Scouts Inc. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that most of their executives were actually 8-year-olds in a grown-ups bodies ala Tom Hanks in “Big”. It also won’t surprise me when they make their next predictable failure, like say building a sitcom around a former NFL player.
How is Micheal Strahan going to carry his own show? He can’t even make me believe that he likes Terry Bradshaw. I guess this can’t be any worse than FOX’s other non-animated sitcoms. Have they had a hit since “Martin”?
I actually blame the other networks for making FOX believe this could work. When “Dancing With the Stars” came out, I thought it would be a huge flop that only appealed to idiots. Depressingly, 10-million idiots later, that debacle is still going and gaining steam. Reality shows distort TV execs judgment to the point that a sitcom starring a defensive lineman seems like a brilliant idea. This will probably end up being one of their best decisions of the year after “Who Wants to Molest a 5th Grader” only becomes a minor hit.
If you’re going to give an athlete a show, it needs to be Deion Sanders or Shaquille O’Neal. Charles Barkley could be funny if you just followed him around with a camera, but I’m not convinced he can read, so memorizing lines is out. Michael Strahan in a sitcom could actually be less popular than Tiki Barber.
