What is it with Fox News' Shepherd Smith and Bears? (Vanity with no socially redeeming value)

[library user]

I think he’s on drugs.

[paulycy]

Shep thinks that playing the trampoline story over and over and over will give his ratings a bounce.

[Constitution Day]

I don’t know about drugs, but he’s definitely on crack.

As in one belonging to another man.

[Jewbacca]

He likes hairy men.

[bcsco]

I discovered a long time ago how useless it was to watch ol’ Shep, so I stopped, and have been far more lucid ever since. As to the bears, well, it may be a subliminal message on how well the team is doing this year...(spoken like a true Packer fan).

[IbJensen]

It’s a transgendered thing.

[DogBarkTree]

Shep is as funny a venereal wart on your 12 year old daughter.

[avacado]

A Teddy Bear was the first gift that Olbermann gave Shep when they began dating.

[cripplecreek]

Yogi fetish.

[Bad Jack Bauer]

He likes hairy men.

With all of the gorgeous women (blonde, brunette, latina, black, persian) at Fox, that would be a damned shame.

[RavenATB]

After Sheep’s live broadcasts from New Orleans in the confusion after Katrina I’ve pretty much written him off as a pooly disguised liberal moron.

Suggest you consider doing the same. Smith’s opinions don’t merit the precious time investment required to watch his show.

Protect your mind, leave Smith out of your life.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Wouldn’t know as I’m not a masochist and refuse to subject myself to watch Twinkle Toes, “Schlepp” Smith much the same as I don’t watch Fox on weekends as then its even worse, with WHORE-Aldo.

[rstrahan]

He just flat admits he thinks bear videos are funny. His show, his decision. Don’t like bear videos, don’t watch. But I’ve got to admit, a lot of times they’re funny.

[bcsco]

Protect your mind, leave Smith out of your life.

I said I did. A long time ago. Read it again.

Packer fan still waiting to be trounced by all the Bears fans out there. Ya, ya, I know. We're not doing so great, either. But I take my shots when I can... :)

[Brad from Tennessee]

“I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.”

—NEWTON MINOW, delivered 9 May 1961, National Association of Broadcasters

[TexasCajun]

"Stop picking on Shep, He's just trying to get to the Bare Bottom of the story. ...Wink! Wink! Shep"

[Jewbacca]

Shep is probably jealous of their shoes and pretty panties.

[teenyelliott]

It's called being silly.

Now, I realize that the concept is far, far below any serious thinkers, but dammit I think Shep is funny, and these days I'll take all the silly I can get.

Why so many people around here bitch and moan about him all the time I will never know.

[manic4organic]

I’m thinking a bear had his way with Shep on a camping trip or something.
