Rob Stone Sucks. How about a petition to get him fired. Does anyone whose good with websites or something want to make a web petition that we can get to have people sign. Maybe we can send it to ESPN so they can fire him and get some one else. The guys doing champions league are much better. And tommy Smythe is lives in New York. Hell he could do it. Someone! Stone is a moron on MLS and proved he's a moron during today's panama game. Please help spare us. The man said "funky cold yellow card on Medina" for God sakes. No wonder why MLS and US is laughed at.

Balboa is a moron, too.
You should do what I do. Turn off the sound.

Funny I thought that Tommy Smyth job was to talk big European clubs. He does work the EUFA Champions League. In case you have not noticed or maybe you just dont know these things that is where big teams from Europe play.
By the way if you have a go at the guy, and you use all those big word then at least know how to spell his name. Smyth has no E at the end .

The two guys from the El Salvador broadcast are probably available if you would prefer.

Personally, I like Rob Stone and Balboa/Wynalda. I think that they are much better than the FSW people.

in my opinion, the guys at FSW poop on Stone/Balboa from a very great height. maybe it's a maturity thing but i don't f***ing care what cobi jones' favorite pizza topping is. nor do i want to hear an announcer sound like he's in rehearsal mode for a nickelodeon made-for-10-year-olds game show.

You're foolish. Here we go 21 is right, Smythe talks about European football clubs cause its UEFA that he's doing. But he knows alot about US players though and comments on them often on ESPNs soccer site and he often does a web chat where he often has to show an understanding of American players. And nobody cares what Rob Stone knows about college football this is real football and who ever said let the play speak was right. Let him go do college footbal because the skills aren't transfering. Hey i'm glad he's got emotion he just has no technique. He knows squat about this sport. Funk cold yellow? Nerdy white guys shouldn't prove they are nerdy white guys by making random urban pop culture references. Hey Rob, You're not Stuart Scott. If you like that well sorry for you. But no offense, but people like you are the reason that mls is a joke, is globally disrespected, and the US players are disrespected. This isn't AYSO its serious stuff. Cause you'd rather have Rob Stone do commentating than a commentator that knows how to do it. here is a nice basic video on commentating by the great John Motson http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/cta/sp...ntary/256k.ram (need real player) from the BBC site http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/h...00/2127143.stm

Nowhere does he mention make dumb comments about rap songs and treat the sport like a joke. But here in the US it is a joke. That's why MLS trys to sell to little AYSO kids instead of real fans and why the world thinks the US is made up of just women players. I dont' care who they put there as long as he's good. These people at ESPN, MLS, & US Soccer need to treat the sport with the respect it deserves and the players have earned. It's not some corny Rob Stone Joke. He needs to go NOW! Balboa too.

I agree that Stone is crap. The "funky cold" and the "slo-mo" lines convinced me last night. Plus my Dad (he doesn't mind soccer, he'll watch it so that we can do something together, heard that one line and was like, "I gotta go home, this guy is such an idiot I can't take it anymore." That's not really what ESPN should be looking for, someone who drives people from watching.

The pizza-topping crap is for the 10yr olds, that doesn't annoy me, we need to keep them in the loop.

But I disagree about Tommy Smyth. I don't want him doing US games, he's just fine during CL but not USMNT. For that I want an American, not an Irishman. I agree that Max Bretos (the guy from FSW) should do it along with Christian Miles (also from FSW). Actually any of the Americans on FSW would be ok, they know the game and they do it every week and they are classy about it. I don't mind an announcer being a homer, just be cool about it and don't pull all this fancy, I want to be on Sportscenter crap. Stone is just, ERRR, crap. He's too...gimmicky.
