I was going to publicly beg on CIS for Vish to do this, but I already knew deep down he was on it. As expected, I'm incredibly impressed.
With a few exceptions (Christina DeNicola of Fox Sports Florida comes to mind) most sports "journalists" are hacks who couldn't get a real job outside of writing crap they pickup from Twitter or what some $9.00 an hour intern picks up for them. Yes, some go way back (A co-worker showed me some stuff student journalist Dave Hyde wrote at Miami...Of Ohio back in the early 70s) and have some talent, but ESPN has dumbed it down to political soundbites. Kirk $uckeyestreit learned to speak well at one of Ohio's better public High Schools, but if you think he comes up with this stuff on his own, your fooling yourself (why do you think he so chummy with Bear the []_[] grad? He NEEDS him).
Vish is a Management Consultant who has to help companies MAKE MONEY. Stupid people need not apply, because your ability to make a living is directly tied to your ability to provide the correct analysis over and over to earn your fee. Wonder why ESPN is hemorrhaging cash? They are at the start of a death spiral. They fire the smarter analysts and promote the Stephen A. and Skip Bayless' of the world and the content goes further south as talking in circles is cheap, cheap, but not somethin people are willing to pay for every month.
