I can't remember ever muting my TV but he was obviously bias today.
Can we get some new TV voices, CBB needs somethign new.
I remember him providing insightful analysis but seems like nowadays he has really leaned into trying to entertain. I think he’s feeling himself a little too much. I know he calls NBA games, I’m curious if he approaches those any more seriously.

Not long ago you had Dicky V, Bill Rafferty that seemed to be the top guys calling a game. Now Jay Biles is sort of by himself at the top and he seems to think letting his *** overload his mouth as my dad would tell me when I thought my s**t didn't stink makes him look good.

Bilas is just a weird case. Almost like a Candace Owens case. He started out his commentating career as basically nothing but a Duke mouthpiece. Hardly any really useful analysis and spouting floor-slapper love 24/7 like a fire hydrant someone ran over. Then sometime around 2008 or so he magically transformed into one of the most objective and insightful people in broadcasting and stayed that way for nearly a decade. 2017 (ish?) he started to turn back into a pumpkin I guess. Was a gradual change for a while but you're right: lately he's gotten to be as bad as he ever was starting out, only now he puts all the clout and confidence of his whole career behind it.

While I am definitely not buying into the new “reasons for war” and think nothing wrong with asking question's, definitely think our money should stay home right now, and believe TP is moving in a direction CK was not going in…definitely believe some killings are covered and such. However.

Candace is one evil POS. What she’s doing is incredible, and even more incredible 20% can’t see through it. But that 20% is giving her millions so.

Grifting political hooker

That’s my politics for the day, but I blame you, you brought it up.

He was absolutely horrible and was very much showing a bias against Kentucky. We both watched the replay as well and we looked at one another as he kept being negative towards Kentucky even as we mounted our comeback. Just terrible.

Im kind of thinking the next time he asks for soft serve, someone should give him a chocolate ice cream. Let him ingest the same thing he evokes.

He was overly nauseating today & dig in on calls that he was so wrong about, like he’s some kind of royalty that is never wrong. And his lovefest with Brown today, my goodness I thought that was Shaq or Wilt out there. He played pretty good in the first half but bilas made him out to be an AA POY. Like, calm down jay he’s not Kareem and if he was that great do you think Alabama would have let him leave the state???
The best was the BG tip in, anyone with a brain saw the tenn guy touch it first and the ball wasn’t even close to the rim when BG scored. Ole jay dug in again saying Garrison touched it on the rim 😂…….clowns even say jay give them a bad name.

I used to like her but she went off the rails years ago and I have not noticed her for a long time.

BI(L)AS and Seth Greenberg both need to get rid of the Ban Roll-on look and grow some damn hair. They both hate UK and their presence every week has worn out its welcome.
It’s amazing to me with the apathy already setting in at UK with modern systems, the dead period of Calipari’s last 5, the Pope situation, Barnhart, JMI, etc that ESPN wants to throw Greenberg and Bilas in our face every game. They think we’ll tune in regardless and they’re wrong. I’m already trying to watch every game in streams they get no credit for. And I’m sure many others are doing the same.

Greenberg was a failed coach and isn’t valuable. Many others can do what he does. There’s no reason to force UK fans to look at him. They could switch that up and keep him away given his unprofessional behavior. But they just keep doing it.

The future interests in all sports will be cut in half within 25 years if things like this, and many other situations, are not finally confronted.

Also anyway notice shulman before the game started saying Kentucky just magically came back against lsu? Then Bilas says later Kentucky somehow makes the come back like they did against lsu. Magically? And some how?
They’re both pricks but Bilas had nothing good to say about Kentucky while complimenting Tenn all game long.

Haven't watched a college basketball game without the sound muted in forever. May have to try it again sometime soon. I may be missing out.... lol. No. Jk.

Unless I sync the radio call, silence works just fine. Bilal Blue Devil has ALWAYS been biased.
