Millen was actually a pretty good analyst before his disaster at Detroit, but his credability is so damaged that this move is a big risk for ESPN. It really won't matter in the long run because ESPN's Monday Night crew is so bad that no one watches them anyways. They talk about all the records they set, but they lie. What they conviently forget to tell you is that these records were set for Monday Night Games that were televised on a Cable Network. Duh... How many Monday Night games has ESPN televised? This year's lineup is O.K. but nothing to write home about.
