It is incredible how Skip just can't take words like 'crushing, slashing, demolishing', etc. out of his vocabulary and actually analyze what's going on.
These guys are also guilty of the same thing many forum gamblers are. They know no one is holding them accountable so when they predict something, analyze something etc. they can tout thier correct calls and know that thier wrong calls are burried in the video tape. Not to mention by being non-comittal in language makes it almost impossible to tell what the call/analysis actually is.
It's not like you have to really expose Skip as a circus clown, but it's nice when you have somebody who can articulate it and doesn't care about politeness to break down just how overpaid and ridiculous he is.
The worst is before a mis-match they tout the favorite, like Germany over Greece today, and talk about how Greece has no shot etc.
Then Germany tanks and loses 2-0.
After the game they will rant about how no one gave credit to Greece and that everyone was foolish to underestimate them, without acknowledging that they did it themselves before the game.
Can give a million examples of criticizing coaches decisions that could've gone either way.
The equivalent on the forum is a guy bashing a pick after the game is over. Suppose the Yanks lose tonight, then someone in a thread somewhere will post "everyone knows Pettite is horrible on Friday nights"...

Great bit by Mark Cuban on how painful it is listening to the media dissect sports
