He's a very good horse racing analyst - the best in the sport working for a network in fact. However, if his name was anything other than Ladainian Tomlinson, Terrell Owens, or especially Randy Moss, I doubt he gets the NFL Network job.
If his name happened to be Tom Brady or Payton Manning - I still don't think that would have been quite good enough. I'm thinking it had to be a black superstar's name to put him over the top.
He might have got overlooked or tagged as a horse racing specialist if his name was David Frischling - or something real Jewy sounding like that.
