OnTheRocks Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Dang....I might be in the minority but I LOVE listening to Kiper on ESPN especially on Draft Day. His line about Jeff Lageman when the Jets selected him in the first round was CLASSIC! http://www.nypost.com/sports/31795.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I hope Fox Sports picks him up, Im sure he wont be jobless long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Expect to see more of ex-Met GM Steve Phillips on ESPN next year. Another example of how far E$PN is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 I would have to think that as the NFL Network grows.... but I am sure they would make room for a guy as popular as Mel. Unless all the rumors about him being a big pain the back are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanfromAlbany Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 "Who the hell is Mel Kiper?" Edited at 1:14 Just read this reply and realize its sounds kinda' cruel. I meant no ill-will toward Mel by it, but I just remembered Tobin's quote. I'm sure he'll find another job soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 But Mel was way more productive than Mike Golic! This move makes no sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 It seems to me that Mel has been "de-emphasized" in the last 2 draft shows. I liked his sometimes outlandish statements through the years. But he's changed since he became his own "Corporation", so to speak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 If this is true, Mel, dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out... never liked him, never will, hes an overhyped jackass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 That stinks, he's the one that made the NFL draft so interesting. He knew something about every player.

Pete Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I am a huge draftnik and a big Mel Kiper fan. Thats too bad. I guess we will be subjected to more of Jimmy Johnsons egotistical nonsensical ramblings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
