The setting: TSH studios
The players: Host Andy Gresh, fill-in co-host and former NFL offensive lineman Mike Flynn
The subject: The upcoming Belichick documentary, specifically the segment where BB & Tom Brady review film & the game plan
GRESH!: "This documentary is Patriots PORN! It's Patriots PORN!! Let's listen to a little bit!"
(audio of Brady & Belichick discussing game plan ideas)
GRESH!: "Now, I don't want to sound like, you know, sound like a douche but I didn't find that very interesting. Let me put it this way - if you've done film study, PROFESSIONALLY, this just isn't that interesting."
Flynn: "Uh..."
GRESH!: "Well, film study is the same everywhere. So if you've done it, this just isn't that interesting."
Flynn: "Uh..."
GRESH!: "I'm sure that it'll be interesting to people who haven't studied film as part of their job, but to me, it just wasn't that new or interesting because I've done it before."
Flynn: "I found it interesting because..."
GRESH: "WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IT'S NOT INTERESTING IF YOU KNOW FILM STUDY. IT'S REALLY BASIC."
Flynn: "Well, I think that it shows how the coach and the player work together...(continues onto a valid, relevant point)"
Just to recap, film study isn't interesting to a "professional" like GRESH! who's "done it". It is interesting to a former NFL offensive lineman - who actually DID it professionally - because Flynn understands that the audience doesn't do film study "professionally" and Flynn understands that 99.99% of the listening audience will care about the coach & the QB doing something in front of a camera the audience rarely sees.
I had to tune out at that point - 4 minutes total - because I was shouting "SHUT UP GRESH!" at my car radio. GRESH! is such a POS blowhard that he's convinced himself he's a "professional" - even when he's sitting next to a guy who PLAYED IN THE NFL!! A microcosm of the GRESH! experience - pretending his URI "experience" makes him professional, YELLING, a lack of awareness that he's stepping all over the actual "expert", a false and inflated sense of his own importance and more YELLING!
GRESH! sucks.
