ESPN Has No Idea What The Public Wants

I know it's cliche to complain about ESPN, and I usually find myself defending them...but it's clear that just because they're the only fish in the sea, doesn't mean they make good decisions.

They hired Keyshawn Johnson to replace Michael Irvin. They finally get rid of Irvin and then they go and hire another idiot who no one want to hear talk. Why don't they just come out with ESPN 3: The Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith channel, while they're at it.

The funny thing is that they referred to it as a "substantial offer...a multi-year contract" and that Johnson said at least six teams were interested in him. So it sounds like ESPN went out and recruited him and that influenced his retirement.

To paraphrase from Arrested Development, "him?"
