Can You Guess The One ESPN 'Expert' Who Actually Chose Carolina To Win On The Road Tonight In Dallas? You Better Be Able to!


So you've read the title to this post and undoubtedly you're glancing at the graphic trying to make sense of my question.

The graphic to the side is from ESPN's website but it's wholly inaccurate. It indicates that all of ESPN's analysts (and boy are there a lot of them) picked Dallas to Christen the new stadium with a win tonight.....but that's not what I saw on TV whilst watching the pregame. A lone 'expert' climbed out on to the limb of the crazy tree and prognosticated a Panther win in Big D.

Now look at that lineup.....EIGHT. Count 'em, EIGHT, 'experts' giving their predictions. Which fella chose the woeful Carolina Panthers to get a tough road victory in week 3. Look hard....

Who's the type of guy who would go completely against the grain despite the ignorant masses (me) guffawing at his every ill-timed, idiotic move?

Who's the guy who, year in and year out, proved the ol' adage that, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

How 'bout the guy who regularly substantiates the idea of the Peter Principle?

Have you still not guessed? ESPN baffles me with their hiring practices.....

More XLIII Minutiae

There is really only one pressing question that must be answered. It is not whether the Cardinals can stop Willie Parker or if Roethlisberger can improve his QB rating from Super Bowl XL. The inquiry certainly has nothing to do with the Steelers' Secondary being able to cover Fitz and 'Quan....those are all questions....that have been asked.....and who cares? The only real question:



How did Matt Millen, architect of the worst team in the history of the NFL and enabler of massive Detroit Dysfunction, get a job as an NBC Analyst (expert)?

How does this happen (same question but asked twice)?

Is it merely the Peter Principle in action or is it more complex than even that (o.k., that's like two questions right there)?



I can't believe I'm watching this guy breakdown the Super Bowl.....

There is only one explanation.... Matt Millen is a Jedi Knight
