ESPN has generally succeeded in blending former athletes and analysts from the journalism world in its increasingly debate-based programming. Those two worlds don't always perfectly mesh, however, as was clear during Friday's episode of Get Up, in a segment about the Eagles' tight win over the Cowboys in the NFL opener on Thursday night.
The segment centered on the teams' star wide receivers. On one side, Philadelphia's A.J. Brown was held to one catch for eight yards, which was made on his only target of the game with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. On the other, Dallas's CeeDee Lamb, who put up a gaudy statline (seven receptions, 110 yards) but had some brutal drops late in the close game.
