Throw passes to Moss or take a nice desk job and not risk your life returning from a BROKEN NECK injury.


Hmm, tough choice. I bet his family appreciates it too.

Congrats on the new job Gannon.

I would listen to Barkley and day over Steve Young and Deion Sanders. Sanders is just awful.

If this somehow involves removing Randy Cross or Brent Jones from commentating for CBS, then I'll do a celebratory dance at some point.

But closer to reality, he'll probably be a member of CBS's Z squad for games, which means he'll be covering those ratings grabbers like Bengals/Jaguars or Texans @ Cardinals.
