The Puzzle That Is The NFL And Those Who Cover It

So, in the midst of all the breaking sports news yesterday, there's Richard Lewis being interviewed on Mike & Mike.

Richard freakin' Lewis. Why? Was he going to offer his dynamic perspective on the Ray Rice situation, let alone on the prospective cover-up in the NFL offices?

Don't get me wrong - I think he's hilarious. But not hilarious enough for what was going down yesterday. Hello, ESPN - reschedule him.
                                        ***
I would once watch Mike and Mike regularly. Love the parade of sports guests, the updates, the laughs, the gaffes. But they are losing me.

Freshen it up fellas. Do not kill the March Madness bet. Make it meaningful. Stop taking yourselves so seriously - Greeny, you are not going to be a rap star nor a major sports commissioner. Your opinion means nothing. How you facilitate the opinions of others means everything. You know how to do that. You were a reporter once,  remember?

Back to basics, guys. Report the news instead of trying to be the news. And Roger Goodell is not your friend, although Golic's lovely wife being on an NFL advisory board of sorts should disqualify the big guy from expressing opinions on NFL matters - conflict of interest.

Just like my viewing habits. Can't believe it, but I'm going to give Fox Sports 1 a morning view and even the local Comcast Sports Net. Or CNN.

They'll get the Ray Rice scandal right. Won't they?

Won't they?
