After not watching any sports on Sunday (visiting the three week old niece in NYC), I’m catching up with what I missed today. Starting with USA Today’s Michael Hiestand who looks over what the NFL pregame studio analysts had to say about the league’s bottom feeders. Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch writes that ESPN has hired […]
