Sure, he makes some dumb points and outlandish predictions. His over-the-top love for Tim Tebow is annoying even if it's purposely exaggerated. However, he does make good points at times. But what I like the most about him, though, is he isn't a parody of everyone else on ESPN. He has no problem saying something that most people wouldn't have the balls to say on ESPN. It's actually one of the biggest problems with ESPN - too formal, robotic, and conservative analysis. Even if exaggerated, his out-spoken personality is much better than listening to someone who says a team is better than the other simply because their record says so. Basically, I like him because he's entertaining.

 #2Everyone hates him but that's what he and ESPN want. He is an idiot most of the time. He says stuff like this all the time:
 
 Cowboys will play the Giants tough, but Giants should win this game so that is my pick.
 
 Then if Giants win he can say, I told you so. But if Cowboys win, he says he predicted it.Comment

 #10He's like Rob Parker, but without the racial undertones. He makes inflammatory remarks, and can back them up somewhat so it leads to a legitimate discussion. Not my favorite guy, but I'd rather watch him talk them watch the same sportscenter for the third time.Comment

 #29I love DLHQ. Because it is a show with a bunch of seemingly regular guys talking football.
 
 Imagine you get paid to talk sports with your pop's on national tv. That's exactly what that show is. I like it, and it isn't so over the top like first take can get.
 
 I really like papi, he isnt a suit wearing talking head. He's just a old man who has an opinion and isn't pompous about the opinion.
 
 I like Numbers Never Lie... all for the same reasons. Good sports talk without all the pomp and circumstance.Comment

 #31I only watch First Take because there's nothing better on usually. Yeah Skip makes some good predictions, but a broken clock is also right twice a day. It is mostly scripted and he and Steven A. just choose different sides of questions to satisfy the audience on both for ratings.Comment
