Four dumb asses sittin' around talkin'

Just had to vent about this while
watching my native state's sainted Green Bay Packers
take a second-half pounding on ESPN's Monday Night
Football.
It's bad enough choking down commentator Joe Theismann. But it was far worse listening to halftime hosts Stuart Scott, Tom Jackson, Steve Young and former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin. They apparently think they've got a cute little weekly feature in the "Five Biggest Hits" of the week. OK, fine. Fall down, go boom. Woo-hoo. But then these four allegedly grown men shout "He was jacked up!" to punctuate each vicious takedown. You wonder if they'd be so jubilant if one of the jacked-ees was then taken off motionless on a stretcher. "He was -- paralyzed!"
This kind of crap has got to stop. Irvin of all people should know better. His NFL career ended after he was "jacked up!" in a game against Monday night's victorious other team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Think about that, Michael. And then demand that ESPN stop treating this as a big freakin' joke. Ed Bark
