ESPN Sort Of Comments, Then Refuses To Comment On Matt Millen's Status At The Second Mile
Earlier today, we reached out to ESPN for clarification on analyst Matt Millen's role at The Second Mile.

Man, football is weird, huh? If the season ended today, the Houston Texans and Cincinnati Bengals would be the two top seeds in the AFC playoffs, and that's peculiar.
