I as a football fan am pretty ticked off that they glanced over this story and if i was a Philly fan, i would be livid.

The coverage of Favre was a bit much (definitely wasn't 95%) but it still is a big story that has many tentacles (for lack of a better word) that is probably still not done. Not to be rude, but there's only so much to be covered about Jim Johnson's death. As for ESPN becoming such a blatantly, ratings-driven network. Yeah ratings are hugely important to any network. Without ratings there are no advertisers without advertisers there's no money without money there's no tv. But that's not the only driver.

But anyway, this thread is about Jim Johnson. I don't know that he's a Hall of Famer. Tough for a defensive coordinator to make it without rings.
