ESPN should be embarrassed for allowing Lee Corso to broadcast despite the obvious dropoff in performance following his stroke in the summer of 2009.

Host Chris Fowler has done a good job propping up the old guy, but it's time to put Corso out to pasture.

Corso is 76 years old.

Never on the radio, but I remember labeling a radio station here in Las Vegas "a Mickey Mouse operation" when I did not realize the mikes were on.

Whooops!

I also remember guests Alan Boston and Davey Haba using some spicy language and being reprimanded for what they said.

Last night, we needed to use the seven-second delay when OSUCOWBOYS responded to a joke from Cassius Clay by saying, "Shit, that was funny."

JK...you ever drop an F bomb on the radio? Or something similar?

JK is a pro and I would hight doubt he has, even though, OSU dropped a "sh*t" last night.

JK... I understand your stance, that being said, Corso brings something unique to the show that can't and will never be duplicated. Harry Carey was a train wreck late in his career, yet Cubs' broadcast have never been the same since he hung up the microphone. I'm surprised Corso is still around and is very rough at times when giving analysis on a games or topics, but he's still got that 'it factor' at the end of the show. Perhaps he needs to solely become the show's mascot! When a producer types up the rundown you can be sure that the one piece of gold he can count on week-in-and-week-out is Corso and his selection at the end of the show.

I don't think I've ever seen youtube and other web outlets pick this up and post it any quicker :LMAO

Imagine if the "Jimmy The Greek" lived in this day and age of Twitter and YouTube... his comments would have burned up the world wide web.

It's too bad and sad the way he plummeted from the good graces of the media. He was an icon as far as gamblers go, especially in the 80's. Even his cameo as a bookie in the dreadful 1981 film "Cannonball" couldn't derail "The Greek."

At least he has a voice again, on EOG.

Gameday should be rated an 'adult' program. They should curse if they need to.

Corso is a legend..love the guy. Tend to agree with JK's take here though. The Gameday crew has to carry him and be on top of things when he is speaking in case he messes up. Even though he doesn't add much in terms of analysis anymore, like Factorial said, he has the"it" factor and he adds a lot of humor to the show.

Corso cannot speak more than one sentence at a time.

I like the guy but his time has passed.
 
Re: DID CORSO JUST SNEAK IN AN 'F' BOMB?

So tired of people being offended all the time. Its was hilarious, he puts on a good show and got caught up in the moment. Who doesn't drop an F bomb from time to time

I agree, these people act as if they'll lose viewership because an old man made a mistake and dropped an F.

To them, i would say CMON MAN!

I'm not at all offended by the "f" bomb.

I'm offended by the lack of serious football insight.

Corso's a mental mess.

Bloomington,IN Ohio St @ Indiana 1976
In the 2qtr with 14:55 to go Lee Corso head coach of Indiana called time out.

Here is the funny part, after taking a 7-6 lead over Ohio St he then had his team pose for a picture in front of the scoreboard. He then used the picture for a 1977 recruiting brochure. Ohio St won that game 47-7.

So why would he do something like this? To figure out, we must hear the entire story. Here it is.

The whole idea started in 1951 when Indiana beat Ohio St. Woody Hayes said
"that football team will never beat me again- ever"

before the kickoff of the 1976 game Corso ask Woody how he was doing and Woody just growls at him. Corso's response "What the hell are you mad at me for?I was 10 years old when those guys beat you" Woody throws his hat and laughs at Corso.

Ohio st gets a a pick 6 and misses the extra point and then Indiana drives down and scores to take the 7-6 lead.After the extra point Corso walks across the field
and tells the official " we quit" official says "what" ,Corso "we quit. We ain't playing no more" Official says " You can't do that" Corso ask "Why"? the official says "your going to get beat" Corso "We are going to get beat anyhow. I quit.We're not going to play anymore" the official says " You can't do that" Corso "OK Time Out"

Corso then had the team and the photographer hurry up run under the scoreboard and took a picture. The crowd mostly Ohio St fans are going crazy,
Woody throws hit hat at Corso and is yelling. The ref says to Corso "what the hell are you doing"? Corso says"You know what mister it's been 25 years since Indiana has been ahead of that S.O.B. , and I want a picture to prove I'm ahead of him"

After the game the photographer has the nerve to ask Coro " Lee do you want another picture"?
