ESPN hiring Nate Silver

Im telling you espn is in the process of a makeover.
This is part of the new plan to weave sports into non sports programming. Or non sports into sports programming however you want to look at it.

Did you read this somewhere or is this your opinion?

I don't really watch ESPN besides for actual sports, is there a current example you can think of that highlights this? I doubt we see them welcoming him into sportscenter to discuss the 2014 mid-term elections or anything...

I guess it would be like those hot Asian anchors on Bloomberg talking about tennis and they have no clue what the hell they're talking about. They should just shut the fuck up and stick to financial news.

Looking forward to this - anything that ESPN does, that doesn't involve the regular blowhards is a good thing.

I am more impressed that he is a Uof Chicago grad than predicting the 50 states correctly in a presidential election. About 40 off them, the average egg head could tell. I would be more impressed if he could get 57 in a row in the MLB beat the streak and win 5.6M.

He wrote an article about whether or not Lebron would catch MJ's record using the same old methodology of adding some numbers here and there, then he concluded the odd is 50/50. Basically he told you NOTHING.
