Why does ESPN hire all the idiots? (millen, ceratto, carter, etc) Oh, ratings...I forget. Stupid people that cause controversy > intelligent people with facts to base their thoughts on.

Thanks.
People forget how highly regarded Millen was just a few years ago, and that multiple networks have employed him
But yeah, let's pick a couple of people and extrapolate it across the entire company.

Everywhere you turn there is a media outlet so people do and say things trying to stand out in the crowd. Problem is that most of the time it actually just makes them look stupid.

15 years ago did anyone ever think Deon Sanders would be a more reputable contributer in the NFL media than Chris Carter?

When was Millen ever highly regarded? The only time I can think of is when he was playing in the NFL. Ever since his tenure at Detroit, he's pretty much been on the wrong end of jokes. Also, I think you took that wrong (and personally) Smoot about my comment towards ESPN. My reference to them hiring "all the idiots" was to some of their commentators. (much like NFL has JLC) I realize they have a good amount of commentators that do a great job.
When Millen was a TV analyst prior to his time in Detroit he was considered one of the best in the biz.
