Great hire......look forward to his analysis.

 

No thanks.

 

Why?

:dontknow:

 

Better than Cris Carter......

 

Not including Schefter, ESPN blows to start...

 

I hope he's better than Emmit Smith was. Idk why but that's my first thought.

 

I'll check out that new show a few times, Rice and Young.

 

Oh god....listen, I have been hearing this guy try to pull off this in the Bay area for a while now. He is Emmitt incarnate. Just one more reason my TV hardly tunes to the sports leader.

 

This is disappoint news.

 

ESPN is a joke. Oh, well. Can't blame Rice for that.

 

If he's as bad as SRW says, then he is the newest reason.

 

Still falls on ESPN for hiring him. Though, what do you expect with them?
