PFT: Kiper, McShay don't seem to like each other...

[ddh33]

First of all, this is Mel Kiper's baby. He started a lot of this stuff before it was cool. Mel is a guy who has always had strong opinions and tells you what he thinks. McShay never seems to say anything interesting. I don't have any use for him.

But remember, this is ESPN. This is the station that took David Aldridge (one of the most respected NBA guys around) off the air to replace him with Stephen A. Smith, who is an imbecile. This is the business that likes to put a guy named Scoop Jackson on television to try to talk about basketball and doesn't utilize a guy who knows his stuff cold like Marc Stein. Geez, this is the company that hired Emmitt Smith to talk about all things pertaining the NFL. Their track record isn't that great.

Kiper is an icon. The only issue is that once ESPN moves on, where would he go?

CBS Sportsline. Kiper's value is more on the web than on TV and he has a loyal following. Also, Kiper's realm is really college football as opposed to McShay who's main body is with the NFL.
