'He's a kicker - who cares?'

Ever wonder about the standard of analysis we get on Sky for the NFL games they show?

Wonder no more, as we bring you just a tiny fraction of the wonders and unsubstantiated comments that comprise the Sky Sports NFL coverage.

First of all, far be it for us to point out that - even in the Pre-Season - getting a NASCAR journalist (David Tuckman) to be the studio analyst may not be the best idea. Sky might as well have sent Kevin Cadle out into the street and found a random American tourist, such is the token nature of Tuckman's presence.

Not only that, but while analysing the 'ins and outs' of the Denver Broncos, he spouts as much rubbish as you might expect:

"...and Jason Elam... well he's a kicker - Who cares?!"
- NASCAR-cum-NFL journalist David Tuckman, Sky Sports

Here's a person who might care David: Champ Bailey. If you're unfamiliar with him, let's just say he's not bad - for a Defensive player!!! (WHO CARES ABOUT DEFENCE ANYWAY???)

"He's proven. He's done it for a long time...I'm very concerned."

"When you play for a long time, you understand how important the position is, you lose games when you don't have one."

"There better be a guy who really impresses me when camp rolls around because it'll really, really bother me then,"
- Champ Bailey in March 2008 following Kicker Jason Elam's release

For the record: Jason Elam kicked 4 (four) game winning field goals for Denver last year.
