Uncle Tom Jackson Out At ESPN

[Tide Run This]

Here's an article for all the slow people on this incident from back then

ESPN crew lashes out at Limbaugh Chris Berman, Tom Jackson and Steve Young broke their silence on the Donovan McNabb comments.

Jackson, the former Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker, said it had been "a rough week" and defended the crew's silence during the week by noting that no one prevented the analysts from speaking out on the controversy.


"It was not our decision to have Rush Limbaugh on this show," Jackson said, almost moved to tears. "His comments [about McNabb] made us uncomfortable. Rush Limbaugh is known for the divisive nature of his rhetoric."

Jackson added that Limbaugh was "brought in to talk football, and he broke that trust."

"Rush told us the social commentary for which he is so well known would not cross over to our show," Jackson said, "and he instead would represent the viewpoint of the intelligent, passionate fan.

I don't remember much of what Tom has said on ESPN because I rarely watch the shows he was on

ESPN is a sports+TMZ network.

Ring of Famer for the Broncos.
Grew up watching he and Berman on Primetime.
Always stayed true to himself when it came to the game.
Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

I grew up hearing Tom and Chris talk about the NFL, I'm accustomed to it, but I've felt over the last few years that ESPN should hand the show over to some new blood.

Him and Boomer on NFL Primetime was the GOAT football highlight show

I miss the days where they gave you just the highlights and not moral grandstanding

this. Middle school, high school, college, adult life. Those dudes were THE highlight show. '''

"Football Night in America" is yuppie trash.

 

[Judgement!]

I never missed a Tom & Boomer Countdown or Primetime show as a youth. It's been time, but that brother.
