Default How does Michael Smith have a job??

He makes listening to Joe Thiesman and Paul Mcguire acceptable... He has no knowledge, and just likes to hear himself talk.. Another talking head..

Yo Dude, are you dissing Michael Smith of ESPN.com? If so, you're probably a Dan Deirdorf fan, right?

Smith is by far one of the sharpest, most insightful people working in sports media today. You may not like his speaking style, he can really bring it to the face, but you can't deny his skill as a writer and thinker in the sports world. I hope you have taken the time to read some of the hundreds of fine columns he has penned before trashing him like you are the all-time judge of reporter talent.

Opne your mind up a little more, I bet you'll find very few other writer types with his depth of knowledge, pragmaticism, and verve.

I agree, I find Michael Smith to be one of the better, if not the best, sports writer for ESPN.

Michael Smith is one of ESPN's top commodities. He is unique amongst their talking heads because he blends some insider knowledge, like today's Jevon Walker revelation for example, and actual football talk in his analysis whereas the rest of the crew either specialize in football personnel (Mort, Clayton, Kiper) while the others are straight X's and O's (Salisbury, Allen, Golic, etc.).

Hodge is by far the biggest blowhard. Today's six o'clock SportsCenter had a mock draft of the top ten picks that lasted about half the show. Anyways, Hodge was all over the place as he had Chad Jackson at #5 to the Pack, the Saints taking Vernon Davis, and Mario Williams to the Titans.

Weird, because on NFL draft countdown message board, most of people think differently.

Well, most fans also get a hard-on anytime their team signs a flashy name player. We're different over here - a little smarter and more objective. (at least I'd like to think so)
