Re: Lil Wayne on Around The Horn right now
...he's not that good either.
Just another reason to add to the list of what makes me hate ESPN: Lol' Wayne is actually treated with respect, and they pretend the shit he says has any credibility. Then of course, it's not as if he's much less qualified than the majority of ESPN analysts...
No, they had him on 1st and 10 recently as well. Besides, dozens of people won Grammys. They didn't all show up on an ESPN show.

Pretty fun to see it one day out of the week..
I disagree. It'd be more fun to have credible sports analysis.
I don't mean to seem like such a hater, but there is just certain places I don't expect to see this clown. If he's on MTV, BET, etc, that's fine. I don't watch those channels. I wouldn't even necessarily mind if Wayne was on Mike and Mike or Rome is Burning, which have formats more complimentary to interviewing a celebrity. But when ESPN casually invites Lil' Wayne to be part of a serious sports discussion and the sports writers and analysts have to treat him as an equal, it makes the whole premise of the show seem like a joke. I'm definitely not one to hold back my criticism of ESPN when they look unprofessional and show their biases, but at least there was the illusion that ESPN was the place you could go in the daytime for meaningful sports discussion by people who actually know a few things about the sports which they're discussing/analyzing (this is at least how ESPN tries to represent itself).
Ex-coaches, ex-players, writers, editors, contributors to Sports Illustrated, etc: these are the people you typically see on ESPN--because you can typically expect them to have relevant experience and know what they're talking about. When ESPN tries to add "rappers" to this list, they lose me. In the arena of sports analysis, Lil' Wayne isn't any more credible than literally anyone off the street. Why would a basketball fan care what Lil' Wayne has to say about the Celtics? Why would a football fan be interested in Lil' Wayne's thoughts on the Super Bowl? See what I'm saying?
This is like asking Ja Rule what to do after a terrorist attack....

I agree it is annoying, but you get to bring a whole new demographic into your show.
