Join me for a little Dennis Miller smack-down:

ESPN is polling for a number of their ESPY Awards. Among the awards is a poll for the greatest FAILURE of the last 25 years.

I thought it was a way to stick a fork in the guy. I voted him number one.

1. Done.

Currently ranked 22.

I like how they point out he only lasted two years. He must have had a 2-year contract, or he wouldn't have lasted that long.

So why do you suppose ESPN doesn't have Rush on that list? Because they were idiotic enough to hire him in the first place, perhaps?

2. Good Point...I forgot about Russsssh

Then the White Sox traded Sosa to the Cubs

4. Clipper's quarter of a century

of being one of the worst teams in the NBA has got to far out pace the rest of the pack.

6. dennis did do one line at the NFL that still cracks me up

when the Dolphins were playing he said (and I can't remember why)

"Squeaking out their blowholes"

8. Todd Marinovich Is Awful Hard To Ignore!

voted Miller anyway!

[Hokie]

9. Me too. Dennis is such an all around flop

There are some big flops there. I did not even remember the National Sports Daily. The XFL was on my list too as was Jerry Faust.

10. Watching Dennis Miller Is Like

Jonathan Silverman taking Gary Busey out on a date to a Polynesian Rennaissance Festival dressed like Quetzequatl and Cortez while blitzed on quaaludes and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

11. Dang. Miller is only number 22.

:kick:

[LibertyorDeath]

12. Done

DM is a maggot.

13. I, again, went channel surfing on my TeeVee...fell onto CNBC and

it was Dennis Miller... HE IS TOTALLY WEIRDLY MEAN, NONFUNNY (not even the paid audience would laugh-- by the way I did not see the monkey, maybe that is why they were not able to laugh) and STUPID.

But what really, really, impressed me was the MEANNESS that exudes from the guy...
I checked the program for five minutes and could not do it anymore.

That program joins Hannity and "colmes", O'Reilly, and Fox in general in my list of things to avoid in order to keep my sanity.

14. Done

but it was hard to fight my personal grudge against Pitino. Dirtiest coach in the NCAA.
