Mike Hall wins ESPN Dream Job
I know, I know, this is so yesterday's news. But I thought I'd mention it anyway. Did anyone watch this show? It was pretty weak. Most of the finalists were not very good and wasn't it obvious that the winner would be the smirky chump Mike Hall?
Dream job is a bit of a stretch. My dream job is being paid to breathe clean air and test video games while sampling custom cuisines. Well, whatever. This chump got to play a game after being selected to increase his salary by $5,000 increments. That was pretty cool. He wound up with an extra 25K and will make $95,000 a year. Not bad kid.
I don't think I'm alone in thinking that ESPN will never get back to the great days of Olbermann and Kilborn. That period revolutionized sports highlights and guys like Stuart Scott are clowns with weak one liners who think they are cool.
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
