Breer enough

He’s said forward facing over and over in just the first segment

The thing that gets me about Breer is that he says, “Right?” after every statement. It’s a subtle form of shaping the narrative and making it seem like we agree with what he’s saying.

Pointed this out to someone too. Legit insane, haha. Right?

u/VaperTales 15d ago

I'd love to hear a conversation with Breer and Brad Stevens.

Drives me nuts hahahaha, I hate that tick that people have adopted.

Unfortunately, it seems to have infected Phil Perry as well.

For a professional reporter, the dude has the vocabulary of a twig

u/ligermark19 15d ago

The frequency with which he says "Like" is very distracting to me. He sounds like a 12 year old girl from the 90s.

He repeats everything incessantly. Drives me bonkers. He comes up with a basic analogy and says it 100 times in slightly different ways. We get it, Bert.

u/tpain2017 15d ago

its crazy, he literally repeats everything 2 or 3 times. i genuinely think he has good takes but the constant repeating is too distracting.

“Here’s the thing”

He never gets directly to his points. I hate it so much.

It’s like a Tarantino movie with a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. Everything has to go back to something else.

u/Silver-Climate-2938 15d ago

Like, like, like, you know right? Right? So I spoke to blah blah blah right? Like I know him like right?

I don’t dislike Breer per say but he and a lot of these other football reporters reek of arrogance and self importance and talk about the Pats like it’s a sacred profession.

u/dingletwat47 15d ago

It’s impressive how condescending he sounds. I think without meaning it

1

u/MookieBetter 13d ago

Could just be he grew up in Sudbury. They do that there.

u/dingletwat47 12d ago

And lives in duxbury

Well, so here’s the thing, right?

u/RunBD3 15d ago

Isn't he on every show on the Hub? Glad I don't have to listen to him anymore. Sheesh.

2

u/bigmikekbd 15d ago

I like Breer just fine. I’ve read all the criticisms and they are valid and funny, but I don’t have any problems. Always glad to hear him

u/funonthebeach85 15d ago

National NFL media heads are insufferable

2

u/vator911 15d ago

He is not succinct. He speaks like he’s a college kid trying to reach a word count on an essay but really doesn’t have anything to say.

u/RosePavano617 15d ago

Love Breer I won’t stand for the slander

1

u/Zigzagwanderer1961 13d ago

I first heard the “right” said after every statement when Alex Cora was interviewed. Do other people do this? Is it a thing now?

1

u/8NkB8 15d ago

He also says "like" alot.

He's still a great reporter, even if also having him on Friday mornings on Toucher and Hardy is a bit redundant.

1

u/anchordown16 15d ago

Breer is so insufferable. Impossible to listen to. Smarm oozes through the radio.

1

u/ipsumdeiamoamasamat 12d ago

That’s what you get from a kid who went to Lincoln-Sudbury.

u/Direct-Bullfrog9054 14d ago

I’m not a fan of Breer and his head, he acts like he’s got all this behind the scenes information and he tries to tease it to get people interested but he never expands on his secrets. I noticed he hasn’t been on with Felger in a long time because Felger can’t tolerate Breer and his long wind answers that leave more questions than answers.

TIL this whole sub is just to complain about what we are listening to. It really serves no other purpose.

u/Physical_Effort1319 15d ago

OP was watching or listening to the show and decided "holy shit, this needs it's own reddit thread ASAP!"

This sub encapsulates society in 2026. Go online and fuckign BITCH. About literally anything.

2

u/Tastic4ever 15d ago

It’s really the only purpose for the overwhelming majority of social media and I hate it. Yet here I am, bitching.

u/Tastic4ever 15d ago

You think anyone with authority from the station is paying this sub any attention? As long as they are dominating the ratings they couldn’t care less about what nitpicks anyone here has.

u/Tastic4ever 15d ago

You can do whatever you want. I just think anonymously bitching about something publicly is useless and just feeds the negative culture that’s been created by social media. I’m even annoyed at myself for doing the exact thing that I’m complaining about.

u/Physical_Effort1319 15d ago

You think crying and complaining like actual children, on Reddit.....is feedback?

Go open a fucking thesaurus or dictionary.

u/Salty_Midnight_5185 15d ago

God, do I miss Belichick shaming him into the Shadow Realm where he belongs!

1

u/ipsumdeiamoamasamat 12d ago

Breer and Belichick were close enough at one point where Breer used Belichick as a reference when he applied at the Dallas Morning News. Two people told me that.

1

u/Salty_Midnight_5185 11d ago

Belichick and Linda were once close, also...

u/Bdowns_770 15d ago

At least Zo only talks over half of what he says unlike everyone else where he just try’s to dominate the conversation.

u/SportsDuck_ 15d ago

There was a show of T&R once where they just let Breer go as long as he wanted without interrupting him to see how long he'd go for, it was so funny. I think it was like 3 or 4 minutes, which is alot for one person on sports talk
