Media Approval Ratings: James Brown
Bill Simmons has implied that the success of CBS' pregame show over FOX's is because James Brown, Harvard grad (and former Atlanta Hawks draft pick), switched to the Eye in 2006. We would like to remind you all, by the way, that this guy hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos." Also, and we didn't realize this, he's a minority owner of the Washington Nationals. We had no idea. We hope he's secretly one of the racing Presidents.
Oh, and if we hear one more person refer to him as "the hardest working man in sports journalism," we're going to jump off something tall. Yes. It's his name. There was another James Brown. Got it.
Anyway, do you like the James Brown? Do you not like the James Brown? Let us know.
