Emmitt Smith gets debacled by ESPN

[saden1]

I haven't watched ESPN for nearly three years except for tuning in now and then for MNF (with sound muted of course). No offense to SmootSmack but ESPN is crap and has been for a while. Losing incompetent people is a step in the right direction though I am not sure if Emmitt should be atop the incompetent list.

That's ok, I feel the same way about Microsoft and some of your political views

In all seriousness though, ESPN of course isn't crap. Far from it. But Emmitt's departure was long overdue

I do concur that Microsoft is crap. I don't work for them so I can keep it real homie. No one I know will miss Emmitt but further clean-up is necessary.

I like ESPN's coverage of baseball, basketball and college football (they don't really cover hockey, but then again who does anymore?). Their NFL coverage is so pro-Cowboy I can't watch it (plus I can't stand Chris Berman). With that, I've never subjected myself to Emmitt's commentary. I just watched a clip of him on Youtube that was hilarious. If it was any indication of his entire tenure then his release was justified.

How many former players have really made a smooth transition to being an announcer anyway? Troy is the only one I can think of that seems like he belongs in the booth.

HAIL!!
