It is hard to judge such things precisely, but CBSSN is probably about as far away from ESPN as Current is from MSNBC, so he has shown he is willing to start at the bottom. It would be kind of wild if The Eye announced it was giving him free reign to let his inner Olbermann out - it would be a high risk of another car wreck, but it would be high impact TV - even if it became 3 hour rants about the evils of interleague play. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
