    Is he picking Miami again for the national championship game? Guy can barely put two good sentences together so this move by ESPN makes sense

    RE: Desmond Howard - He isn't being replaced until they can replace him with another diverse host. And Desmond has a Heisman, hard to beat. Diversity is key and so much more backlash would happen so it wouldn't be a good PR move. John Clayton doesn't have much personality, but he's smart. They're desperate for entertainment and would rather keep the yelling matches that is Stephen A than actual reporting. But don't be surprised if one day, that openly gay black player will be hosting...can't remember his name. Fantastic PR move for them

    Don't be surprised either when ESPN tries doing scripted series again.

    How do you get the job as President of ESPN? It seems it can't possibly have very much experience or intelligence level required.

    Rating should spike since so many people quit ESPN for being too liberal, so it goes.

    Today's Around the Horn panel: 3 women (one of whom is a short-haired lesbian) and a black man. This is what conservatives talk about when saying ESPN is "too liberal."

    At ESPN, lesbians are pretty desirable. It's as much of an advantage as being hot

    As evidenced by Linda Cohn being around for over 20 years and her greatly improved looks over the past few years.

    If the South woulda won he probably would've ran for president of the southern states. More than likely would've made the day his dad died a national holiday. He would have concentration camps in Georgia to send every female in hopes that they would learn how to smile and talk like the girls in Georgia. Concentration camps for horses in Kentucky.

    To my knowledge he did not write "Remember who my Dad is" certainly not his biggest song
