Nice work, ESPN

Brian Westbrook has chosen to take his talents to the Castro District, NOT St. Louis, as John Clayton began reporting this past weekend. And just like LeBron did to go to South Beach, he took less money to do it. The Rams had offered more.

That's been some great work by ESPN this summer, huh? The Rams are signing T.O.! No, they're not. The Rams are signing Westbrook! No, they're not.

What good is ESPN any more? Especially when a moron blogger from Illinois farm country can get an NFL story more right then a senior writer with 30-plus years experience who's turned into little more than a rumormonger hoping to get lucky every now and then. (Remember when he said the Rams were interested in Plaxico Burress?)

I'd take anything I hear on ESPN about the Rams with a John-Clayton's-forehead-sized grain of salt from now on.

Exciting news for Kenneth Darby, though.
