When he is on air he is so opinonated he makes me want to gag. He thinks he is never wrong. He is always telling Ron McLean to shut up. He talks nasty about European players; heck, he doesn't even like the French Canadians. He thinks if you are not an English-speaking Canadian you shouldn't be playing hockey.  So PLEASE tell me why he is so great!

in reality, he's pretty liberal.  the premise of his show is that he pretends to be ultra-conservative like the hosts of shows on fox news, but then acts like an idiot.  it's kind of reverse psychology, in a self-ironizing way.\nbasically, he makes fun of stupid people who do stupid things.  by some amazing coincidence, these people tend to be conservative.

I KNOW!  He's such a jack@$$!  He gets SO MANY technical fouls.  He's ALMOST my least favorite player.  I think the reason he can't "shut up and play basketball" is because he thinks he's SO GOOD.  Someone told me that these fans Rasheed Wallace, but he ALWAYS refuses to sign any autographs!  Sadly, there are people out there who want his damn autograph, and not just to sell it.

Brad Gilbert is awesome. He's a local here (Marin County, CA) so I see him all the time. He's a great all around person, and I think he's awesome when he does commentary. He's very straight forward and to the point. And being that he is one of the best coaches in the world.. I think he knows what he's talking about. Hahaha...

Why listen to him? He's a total dork.\n\nHe takes invalid statistics (e.g. comparing our overall high school population to college-bound programs in Europe), individual stories of bad experiences, and the voice of anyone who ever wanted a scapegoat, and targets teachers.\n\nIgnore him. He's full of it.

He only uses the bad language because a) he's passionate about what he does (and he's good at it!) and b) it's kind of become his trademark. If you can see beyond the language his shows are quite entertaining.

he has had alot of emails from people who disagree with him hopping in the ambo!\nthey are saying he had no right to get in even though Todd Russell asked him too. i'm not sure if channel 9 said anything about it, but he is upset with all the critiscism, from sunrise watchers.\npersonally i think he done nothing wrong.

thats true he is a pundit for some games over here in ireland although he gets grief off the other pundits and doesnt take it to well he gives off the impression that he is to good to be a pundit when he is doing it but i wonder if he is to good for that and not a great manager or even a player in his day what is he good for...lol

I watch him and always laugh then eventually I change the channel because I detest the sound of his voice.  And I hate how he leans against the podium like he's a Jiffy Lube employee during every press conference.  Didn't Barbara teach him to stand up straight?

It was very amusing. In fact it made me laugh my a$$ off. Remember though, for all his theatrics he did not bump, touch, or physically make contact with an umpire. Nor did he throw anything at an umpire. It was really more show than harmful. \n\nBasically he performed a montage of Managers anger at umpires greatest hits incorporating scenes from past arguments from experts like Lou Pinella, Billy Martin, and Larry Bowa... \n\nHe probaqbly doesn't even deserve his one week suspension, but because of the widespread play of it, they had very little choice.\n\nIMHO his comments after the game about how terrible the umpires are was a worse crime than his heat of the moment theatrics on the field.

I can smell the sarcasm.  Heh heh.\n\nI get tired of his act.  He obviousy knows a lot, but the shtick gets really old.\n\n"Dipsie-doo, dunk-aroo."  Someone needs to neck punch him when he does that.

It's the fans who are voting. He's a low key guy and not a charismatic one. He just lets his saves do the talking. I'd rather have the GMs or player vote.

Yes, I do believe he's a jerk. He gives red and yellow cards when unnecessary! He is sooo stupid!

Not a good commentatator in any of the telecasting station. They are just trying to be nice. They look that they don't know the game  well enough to analize it.

I'm with you.  He's a spoiled rotten jerk and I'm tired of hearing about him.  If you haven't read the Sports Illustrated steroid issue about him, it's very telling.  Especially entertaining was listening to him bellyache about racism.  Here's hoping he doesn't break the record of Hank Aaron, who's a hero and went thru HELL to get there!

i think this article sums it up the best: \n"Bode an Embarrassment.\n\nFeb 26, 2006 6:26 pm\n\n\n\n0-5! That’s the line for Bode Miller, unless you add the number of bars in Torino which he successfully closed down. In which case the number would be…let see, how many nights was he there? Miller is the biggest disappointment in the Winter Olympics, not because of the way he skied the mountain, but the way he acted once he finally hit the bottom of it. If he wants to go out and party every night, that’s fine. Most athletes do. I was in Nagano 8 years ago when the USA mens Hockey team destroyed the Olympic Village because they had nowhere else to go to release their frustration.\nBut millers behavior is just embarrassing for the USA because he simply acted like he didn't try, and didn't care. Not winning a medal is something we can brush aside, getting fatter on beer while you're over there is not. Without question Miller time spent more time partying than he did competing. His final event, the slalom, lasted 16 seconds. He stubled out of the gate, took a few awkward turns, then seemed to say…oh the heck with it. Take me to the nearest watering hole. Mller even admitted on camra he is fatter and more out of shape than ever before. Way to get ready for the games!\nCertainly there were many other Olympic disappointments for the USA…Lindsay Jacobolis falling within sight of a gold, then making up a ridiculous story about the wind! Michelle Kwan out before the games started. Skater Johnny Weir blaming his woes on a bad bus ride. How about USA Hockey…losing to Slovakia and getting tied up by Latvia.\n\nBut miller is the most ridiculous He has said over and over he couldn't care less about winning a medal! It makes you wonder…why did he even go??"
