Shane Battier

[wildcatglenn]

He flat out sucks.

Why is ESPN forcing him upon the nation? He is really bad.

That band wagon left two decades ago.

Biggest flopper Duke has ever had, and that's saying something. He would literally get 2-3 charge calls per game.

ESPN has to have its quota of Duke guys on the air. You now have Bilas, Williams, and Battier on the air. Yet ESPN will never hire a UK player for college hoops to be seen on ESPN. Tony Delk has appeared some on ESPNU (at least a couple times I've seen him on there), but he is mainly SEC Network only. Now Tony is no Jay Bilas, but neither is Battier. I think Delk is better than Battier, at least in studio.

I find myself wanting to finish his thoughts. He has too many awkward pauses in his commentary. He is also too much of a nerd to relate to a regular fan. He's really pitiful.

 

[CatsFaninCincy]

Don't know what's worse, listening to him or looking at that Sharpei dome of his.

I think Battier is a smart well spoken ex-athlete. Always thought he had class and has made positive comments about the Cats!

 

[wildcatglenn]

He reminds me of Bill Walton. Hard to listen to

 

[ktbug]

Talking about that Duke high standard....... Necklaces and Myron Piggy!

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Now I understand why K always has that rat face look going on. It probably hurts having Shane's head that far up K's butt.

 

[capnmonkey]

Nice guy, and has a good look for TV
... but man he struggles.

 

[TheCatDaddy]

Has the on air electricity and charisma of two day old microwaved pizza.

Wasn't it sulliman that wore the pearls in the homo titanic video that duke made for midnight madness that was awful? Maybe he can come back and do part 2
