-
Troy Aikman isn't worth the $90 million over five years that ESPN is reportedly paying him for Monday Night Football, says Phil Mushnick. "So now the obvious and redundant: Has there ever been a sportscaster who makes us tune to a game, actually watch what we otherwise had no plan to watch? Of course not," he says. "They’ve a better chance of chasing us away. The best the best can do is enhance the telecast."
