The guy has the highest score ever recorded on Around The Horn – that’s something right? He knows football, plain and simple. Michael Smith has the best grasp of X’s and O’s and isn’t afraid to talk them or use them in arguments to make a point. Unlike Ron Jaworski – who I think kind of sucks – Michael Smith doesn’t dumb down his arguments by any means but remains creative and insightful. At 28, Smith is still young and will likely be the next generation of ESPN’s sports analysts.
That being said, Michael Smith doesn’t write all that much. Search for him on ESPN.com and you won’t find one article in which he is the lead writer; however, his videos and interviews are fantastic. Most folks remember the one of Chris Johnson where he raced against him, but even that interview was great. Some of E:60’s greatest segments were led by Smith on football related topics and really add to his credibility as an analyst and a writer.
