Bristol, CT - ESPN held
a press conference Monday to announce that radical black leader Louis
Farrakhan will join Chris Berman, Steve
Young, Tom Jackson and Michael Irvin
on the network's popular "NFL Countdown" show,
replacing the departed Rush Limbaugh, who left before
someone could kill him. "We are not trying to appease our largest
demographic," said ESPN spokesman Gabe Gitch, adding, "Like
most black guys, Farrakhan knows sports. And he can really speak convincingly.
His audition tape had me ready to firebomb Beth Hillel Temple!" Farrakhan
appeared with his four desk mates at the press conference and seemed comfortable
in ad-libbed exchanges. When the fiery black radical suggested viewers
"Jew down their bookie to 44 on the Eagles over-under,"
Berman laughed loudly and then said afterward, "I didn't even notice
an ethnic reference." Added Irvin, "That's actually a more accurate
over-under for that ball game." Young said as a Mormon he had never
heard of Farrakhan but thought his bow tie was "outta sight."
Only Jackson struggled a little with Farrakhan. He steered clear of any
interaction with him, and when asked point blank by Farrakhan, "Where
do you stand when the Man's standin' on your neck, brutha?!", Jackson
threw to a clip package on Green Bay Packers offensive
lineman Mark Tauscher. Farrakhan will start immediately
and Berman has already nicknamed him, "Louis 'The Wrath Of' Farrakhan."
