Idiot was just on the radio crediting Mike Singeltary with the 49ers success last year. Well he instilled discipline on that team blah blah blah. Why are you crediting him Tom? Is there any special reason ???

The guy was an awful awful coach stuck in the 80's. Run the ball, play good defense, win ugly games 10-6. Here's a newsflash, they changed the rules, the NFL is a passing league now. It's throw the ball and pressure the other teams quarterback.

The NFL is a thinking man's game. You win your games based on executing the game plans you designed on Monday/Tuesday and practiced all week. A big motivational speech before the game has little to nothing to do with winning and losing the game. Yelling at guys on the sidelines is a small portion of being a coach. It's about surrounding yourself with winners and game planning, not bashing your top players on the sidelines and saying we "just need to play harder". That's barbarian. You win based on X's and O's and not hitting the other team harder.

Singeltary was an awful awful coach. The only reason it wasn't super apparent to everybody was because the roster had that much talent and the rest of the division was that bad. He was coaching a 12-4 team to 6-10 records.

On a larger issue ESPN needs to revise their affirmative action policy. It's awful.

Mike Vick thew 4 picks last week.

Who does Tom Jackson blame? Andy Reid because he made him throw 56 times.
Cris Carter blamed the offensive line, King Dunlap.
Ditka said Vick was starring down his receivers and you can't do that.

It's the same Vick with the same excuses. It's his line's fault, receiver's fault and coaches fault. Same crap as Atlanta. SOME PEOPLE (TOM JACKSON people) think Vick is perfect and whenever he fails it's everybody else's fault.

tom jackson is great... stfu

[Nick Papageorgio]

Who should the bring in? Dennis Miller or Connan O'Brien. This isn't comedy central pal.

Espn as a whole is putrid and difficult to stomach, some of the most unlikeable ppl, prepackaged bull sht forced upon us etc....

They have lost so much credibility over recent years

im a big fan of the countdown crew

That affirmative action bit was funny. Those guys got every type of nationality on there. The guy from India is hard to understand. They should translate whatever he's saying into English across the bottom of the screen. It's like when the prez talks and you see 15 different colors and nationalities standing behind him.

I like CRIS Carter but Tom Jackson is a dope. Berman is a clown.

[Br0nxer]

every personality on ESPN is a jerkoff

Brian Kenny was last good guy who didnt think show was all about him and hes gone

world would be a fukkin better place if Berman and Vitale both didnt wake up tomorrow morning

[darko3131]

Berman is played out but TJ is still the man. Skip Bayless is the only ESPN guy that HAS to go ASAP

I actually got his autograph at Broncos training camp in the offseason.

He's wrong about Singeltary though. Singeltary was a terrible coach.

[C-Gold]

I think one of the best Tom Jackson quotes about 10 years ago when he was saying Tom Brady wasn't any good. He talks in that stupid condescending tone that he knows everything and he's "educating" us idiots out there.

49ers going to the NFC championship directly following Singletarys firing obliterates any argue giving Singletary credit as a good coach.

[baskets]

guy was hired b/c of Affable Action

end story

You know it and I know it.

The 49ers were a strong team in a crap division. Instead of realizing Singeltary held this team back big time Jackson was CREDITING Singeltary. "Well it all started before Jim Harbough, Mike Singeltary was instilling discipline on this 49ers team". Ohhhhhh if it were only so simple Tom. I wonder if you felt the same way when Gruden won the Bucs that Dungy couldn't win with????

Singeltary's teams underperformed every year. He was one of the WORST coaches but you wouldn't know it because they were 6-10 when they should have been 12-4. People usually look at these 3-13 coaches and think THEY are the worst. Sometimes you get stuck with a 3-13 team.

I'm just so sick of this crap from ESPN and these blowhards like TJ.
