Rush, ESPN to talk to themselves.

You probably already heard about Rush Limbaugh joining ESPN's pre-game coverage. A few years ago when he was a candidate for a Monday Night Football gig I actually thought it was a pretty good idea. Yeah he is a loud-mouth and a blowhard but that's not very different from the supposedly legendary MNF commentators of old. This time, however, he won't be there to give much meaningful insight into a game. Instead, he'll merely interupt the normal ESPN guys while they discuss the week's matchups. Snooze. I haven't watched ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown for a long time for this very reason -- if the commentators are windbags (and they are paid to be), the show's content is the equivalent of an empty Drug Mart bag blowing around the back yard.
