Satirical Videos

[edit]

Rhoden contributes periodic videos for The New York Times Fifth Down Blog, discussing various topics regarding the National Football League. In the videos, he takes a satirical perspective, expressing inane and pointless viewpoints on inane and pointless NFL "stories." In contrast to the common "shock jock" sports-radio commentator, Rhoden takes on a calm, fatherly demeanor while discussing topics such as whether Ryan Fitzpatrick can be called an underdog as a Harvard graduate or whether Tim Tebow's crediting of success to a higher power is meaningless without crediting the failures as well. Rhoden's brilliant portrayal as the anti-radio host- all while discussing matters so stupid that those same radio hosts wouldn't touch them- has made him a fan favorite of sports fans across the United States. ---

This is clearly opinion. Perhaps it could be reworded if there was an interview with Rhoden discussing his style and another colleague talking about him.
