Jimmy Dykes...

used to be one of ESPN's best analysts. Now, he just prattles on with jibberish. The next time he says "pound your chest mentality", someone should strike him in the head with a sledgehammer.

The "it factor" and "giving that extra 10%" are also getting stale.

It would be more entertaining if he were replaced with a spider monkey.

My dream crew would be Gus Johnson, Jay Bilas, and Billy Packer, all have different styles, but are informed

Just Gus and Bilas would be great. Billy Packer is either senile or quickly getting there.

I don't remember Jimmy D when he was tolerable. Each game he has a catch phrase ala "shadow defender" or "power zone" and repeats it no fewer than 347 times, even if it has no relevance whatsoever.

Mike Patrick and Jimmy Dykes should team up to call some Bass fishing tournaments. I might watch that for the sheer comedy of it.

Mike: "But I have an important question for you. What is Britney doing with her life?"

Jimmy: "Who?"

Mike: "Britney!"

Jimmy: "Britney who?"

Mike: "Spears! What is she doing with her career?"

Jimmy: "Why do we care at this play, and what does that have to do with a shadow lure? You've got Percy Priest needing 20 more lbs of striped bass, and if he's gonna get it done he better bring bring that extra 10% to the power zone of Kentucky Lake. Is Britney even here? I mean, is she a bass fishing fan?"

Mike: "I'm sure she is."
