I wouldn't say MJ is bad for the future of the sport .. He wasn't that bad
(of course sitting next to Carol Lewis will help you look good) .. I think
he has difficulty putting aside his arrogance when talking about other
athletes .. Its almost as if he still looks upon them as acompetitors .. I
think once he gets over his own competitiveness he will be a good sprint
commentator ..
But if you are offering a choice between he and JD I would have to choose JD
.. Much more personable and outgoing .. Would add a lot of energy to the
booth .. And seems fairly knowledgeable (both inside and outside of the
sprints) ..
