Herm Edwards coached his teams to a 2-23 record in his last 25 games and now he is on ESPN ranting, raving, and screaming a minimum of 5 times a week his "opinion." Sportynation, why should anyone listen to this guy? Why does this guy have any credibility whatsoever? Why do his colleagues respectfully nod their heads in agreement and act as if he really really knows what he is talking about. Lastly, how and why does he go out there each week and act as an authority on anything. Not too long ago this guy had an epic rant on what Tiger Woods should do...
Sportynation, "this guy" Herm right hear can do all this stuff because of moolah. That's money ladies and gents. The typical sports guy doesn't think and just eats up this junk because he was a "football guy" and had cliche speak down as if it were an artform. Nvm, he seemed to be unequivocally terrible at his last job. But sportynation, that doesn't matter, there is clearly a market for it.
Sportynation, I'll leave you with this telling quote. There is a place for people like the underperforming Herm Edwards, the immensely unsuccessful Matt Millen, the infuriatingly bad Trent Dilfer (BUT HE HAS A RING and GUTTED GAMES OUT!...yeah alright), or the pompous, 3 time Super Bowl winning 10th round pick fromo Idaho that goes by the name Mark Schlereth.
Sportynation, I beg you all to think more and to demand more from our commentators. Reject the cliche talk and question things. Don't just accept any and everything. We all deserve more and in order for their to be change, we have to reject the easy, silly, nonsensical, declarations by talking heads on ESPN and other networks.
Stay classy, be well, and be smart.
This is my Minority Report.
