“Character problems” this, “talent” that, a “sleeper” here, or a “year away” there. I’d think if you have a guy whose sole responsibility is to cover FOUR teams, he’d do a great job formulating original opinions and keeping a beat on all of them. Walker just does no work on the Bengals, it’s evident, and it’s shameful.

I think this is a problem with blogs generally. I went to a Michael Wilbon Q & A, and he just went off on bloggers as cowards who don’t do any of their own legwork or formulate opinions without gathering facts. Now, I don’t think that’s true of all bloggers, but Walker is a prime example.

I don’t speak “Douchebag,” so it is a little tough for me to understand, but I do detect a bit of sycophantic tripe….

“AFC North final say

Thanks for the good guesses throughout the week everyone, but here is what Harbaugh and Tomlin really said:

Harbaugh: You know why we both had stellar seasons, Mike?

Tomlin: Why is that?

Harbaugh: Because ESPN.com’s James Walker covers our teams. We weren’t nearly as good until he arrived.

Tomlin: Good point. He’s a great writer and a good-luck charm. I’m glad he’s riding with the AFC North."

What a twit.

About espn’s Erin Andrews? have you seen the video of rey and erin?
