Who is Eric Casillias and why is he praising the Cowboys? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

He's an ESPN radio head who was hosting the network's Hall of Fame coverage along with Sean Salisbury.

He said Jimmy Johnson, Moose Johnston, Erik Williams, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Larry Allen and Charles Haley should eventually get in the Hall of Fame. I think he also said Darren Woodson but can't recall. (He didn't include Deion but he's a shoo-in.)

I think they all deserve a nod, especially Larry Allen and Emmitt Smith (no brainers) and possibly Irvin and Haley.

But he's the first radio/television commentator who I've heard say that the rest of them should make it.

I was surprised, media bias and all.

Are you sure it wasn't Tony Casillas?

I like him, he is a good guy, takes over for Dan Patrick sometimes.

Sure. It was Eric Casillias. I was so shocked by his pronouncement I lingered until I heard his name.

Erik Kuselias runs a pretty darn good show called The Sports Bash... I really like his work...

Erik Kuselias is an interesting guy and i really dig his show.

He is a Brown University grad who went on to graduate from Michigan Law and i believe he has a PhD from Columbia.

He was a partner in a law firm in connecticut and left that to co-host the radio show TheSportsBrothers with his brother Chris who left the show about a year or so ago.

Good show though.
