Why is the bloke from Man v Food, Adam Richman, being employed by ITV as a World Cup pundit?
How is it that the bloke from Man v Food, Adam Richman, is twice the size that he was when he was eating 20 burgers and fries, a family lasagna and fried dough balls every lunchtime, now that he isn't doing that any more?
And a bonus third question:
This is a discussion about choices ITV make regarding their World Cup line up, so is it Football Thread or General Thread? |  | | |  |

1. Don’t care
2. Don’t know
3. Either |  |

What he ate on Man v Food was part of his diet.
He's since given up that diet and so piled on the pounds. |  | | |

He's a big Spurs fan (literally), so just giving his view as the "fan on the street".
I prefer that than most of the female pundits!! |  |

Presumably the BBC will have Casey Webb as their equivalent |  |

That's the point, really.
After the first match, Roy and co gave their thoughts, then they cut across to another sofa on the rooftop where Adam Richman (an American man who built his career on doing extreme food challenges for cable TV) then added his punditry.
He is part of the team for the whole World Cup.
Somebody had that idea, then other people signed off on it.
Brad Friedel, Casey Keller, even that bloke who used to play for Everton who was good at headers, Brian McBride... Surely any of them would be better for a British broadcaster to give American "color" than an admittedly likeable bloke who most British TV viewers wouldn't know or recognise? | | | |

Don't know who he is, but it sounds very ITV. |  |

There's a film of him blubbing at his first sight of White Hart Lane |  | | |

See, proper fan!
Also downvotes for saying I'd rather him than most (not all) the female pundits! Really?!
Woke lot. | |

Embarrassing to be a bigot, even more embarrassing to cry about it being recognised. |  |

3. Definitely football.
1 and 2 Who? And I don't really care!
4 Who decided to appoint Sutton as the Radio 5 commentator? I would imagine the bloke you are talking about is probably better to listen to. |  |

1) Because he has that combo of being an American with a fondness and familiarity for football, particularly English football, who wouldn’t have needed any coaching to be on camera
2) Because he’s 20 years older now
3) Do as you wish, people that get genuinely upset about seeing threads in the wrong category make me laugh, as if it matters in the slightest | | | |

Do you always make sweeping generalisations about whole demographics?
Can you think of any male pundits that aren't very good?
Of course, you are only trolling anyway so you know the answers to both those questions really. | |

Ah right. The big shouty bloke. Didn't really take much notice of him.
I'm sure he will test the patience of Roy Keane before the end of the week. | |

When it switched to him I thought Roy Keane looked younger, fatter and tidier than normal. | |
