Of course, off the air was a different story.

A YouTube gnome uploaded a clip of this classic college football moment taken directly from ESPN's broadcast feed—but helpfully included the audio and video from the two minutes or so prior to the gang going live on the air. As they prepare to comeback from the commercial break, Chris Fowler, Craig James and Jesse Palmer all have a nice chuckle at the expense of Sad Clemson Fan and his buddy. Fowler even breaks out the Telestrator pen to highlight the boy's tears, since broken dreams are what gives Chris his sustenance.

Then just before going live, Fowler reminds them all that they are professionals and probably shouldn't mock this guy on national TV. (Palmer believes the key word is "tasteful.") Of course, even after putting on his "college football majesty" voice, Chris still can't avoid a little chuckle at this dude's expense.

Not that anyone blames him. I mean ... look at that guy. He is pretty ridiculous.

<![CDATA[Jesse Palmer's First Reviews Are In, And They're Not Good]]> There are so many reasons to dislike Jesse Palmer. Being a contestant on The Bachelor. Being Canadian. Being so ... handsome? And the worst part about him is that he just won't leave us alone, popping up in the darnedest of places. Like our dreams. Or, more universally, invading our aural space during this year's Thursday night college football schedule on ESPN. So it's good to see the folks over at Central Maine Sports Blog taking him down a notch by instantly analyzing Palmer's first stint in the booth with great vengeance and furious anger.

Just some tip-of-the-iceberg analysis for you:

PQ-Talking about the Wake defensive line-“Different lotations”. Yes, lotations, I rewound it and listened to it 5 times. I believe he meant locations.

PQ-On Riley Skinner-“He threw a couple of turnovers early”. I am assume he means interceptions. Unless of course you can throw a fumble now.

PQ-”Last year he completed 72% of his passes, he is completing 69% for his career. UNBELIEVABLE!”

It gets a little more embarrassing along the way, with Palmer's "analysis" basically consisting of rotating between three words: "huge", "unbelievable" and "absolutely". Let's hope that someone gets him a thesaurus before next Thursday. Or at least a pink slip.
