take on the Sportsguy's complexion

I'm as big a fan of The Sportsguy as anybody but never quite understood ESPN's desire to feature him in anything other than in roles within his wheelhouse.    He's great in the mailbag, Grantland is a must-read, I follow him on Twitter and the 30 for 30's are generally very good but when you get this guy in front of the camera, it sounds like listening to Mickey Mouse.   It never worked with Kimmel and it doesn't work for the NBA studio show..  For a network completely fixated on appearance, they have a guy who has one of the worst voices for TV, yet nobody at the Worldwide Leader seems to care.

But even if you can get past the falsetto, he's now become odd to also look at.    I don't know if it was the South Beach sun but this dude looks like that tan-mom.  His entire complexion has turned from a normal white-guy to a weird orange.

Somebody get him off the tanning bed and back into his basement, coming up for a reason why they would have ever had Jake Taylor bat second for the Indians.. he's got sixth hitter written all over him.

  1. TSG now looks like a younger, uglier, shorter George Hamilton from Boston.
