I've never understood why Americans had any interest in the Premiership.

Because Soccer is a great sport, but the MLS is kinda... Pathetic. The Premier League has superb talent across the board and makes the sport that much more interesting.

And honestly, I don't find him that interesting. As much as people enjoyed Larry King Live, maybe that's one show they should just let go.

the difference was that Larry at least made the interviews about his guest... Piers made the interviews about how much more "correct' he was than his guests. (and failed miserably)

I hate Chelsea, but I'll take them over ManU any day of the week.

Manchester City is best.

Go City!

Booo... go Stoke City!!! (and Port Vale)

Have you seen Sean Hannity? Bill O'Reilly? The entire cast of Fox n Friends?

I am far from a Fox News viewer, but those individuals are far more likable than Piers. Even if you don't agre with what they have to say O'Reilly and Hannity can be funny and engaging at times. The constant smik on Morgan's face and his abrupt handling of guests is just too much for most people IMO.

It's one thing to be the smartest guy in the room and know it.. It's another to think you're the smartest guy in the room and try to act on it.

I imagine the majority of Larry's viewers were followers who knew him from his radio days in the 60s and 70s.

It's like anything else. Look at Leno's numbers vs Conan's numbers or Fallon's numbers. There's a following with certain people.

Or we'll use Peyton Manning.. After he left the Colts, fans who were only Colts fans because of him became Bronco fans.. Piers Morgan just didn't appeal to me. If I wanted someone to constantly tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd quit my job, divorce my wife, and move back in with my parents.

Last one out, turn off the lights on that laugh factory.

Since this thread had a little soccer in it, I thought I'd bump it for chuckles.

I've just found out that Obama is a West Ham fan. I've been trying to defend him, but this officially makes him a disaster.

The zinger is at the end.

I give you BOR. hannity isn't half as "full of himself" as he is just predictable and boring. and I consider fox and friends to be utterly unwatchable.

That was ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS (and so correct).
