Lil Wayne on Around the Horn???!!??

is he on the panel?

 

well he does seem to have tats all over his face.....so i can see how you were confused there.

 

Why is it a surprise that he sounded good?

 

I saw that and I nearly had to look twice.

Apparently this is his fourth appearance!

I can see having celebrities like former players, coaches, commentators, etc.

But Lil Wayne??

 

What is the big deal?

It is "Around The Horn", it's not like any of those guys are former players, coaches, commentators.

The whole show is entertainment, nobody takes them seriously.

 

Lil' Wayne knows crap about high finance.

 

i know! how dare they cheapen that national pasttime that is the winner of around the horn?

 

I know that but the show is still for entertainment. They say a lot of crazy stuff on there.

I just don't get why people act like this is so shocking.

 

1. Most people didn't know of any relation between Wayne and ESPN/the sports world.

2. ATH, though it is 'entertainment', still uses primarily journalists for it's panels. (for example, I didn't know they'd ever had other entertainers as panelists before).

3. If you aren't familiar with 1., then you are probably unclear why he's on there at all.

I don't get why you don't get that some people might be a little surprised to see him on there.

 

Yes I know about number 1. He blogs on ESPN.

Don't know about Around The Horn, but on 1st Take LL Cool J and Nelly have debated on there.

 

last time i checked they both lacked face tats.

 

People are surprised because Wayne is usually extremely high.

 

I think i remember hearing that Wayne wanted to be a GM. I think he watches alot of sports so he knows his stuff. That doesn't make him smart...

 

And what exactly does that have to do with what I said?
