Analysts Analyze, because they're Analysts

The word Analyst has "anal" in it, which means most of them are asses, so to speak. But guess what, it's what they're paid to do. Well Merril Hoge, an ESPN football analyst (which in layman's terms means someone who talks about the sport of football for a living), said he thought Tim Tebow would not be a successful QB in the NFL (OMG!) how dare he. This is what LeBron, who literally has nothing to do with the NFL, had to say:

"Guys get on that TV and act like they was all WORLD when they played," LeBron added shortly after the initial tweet. "How bout encouraging him and wishing him the best instead of hating!!"

LeBron must have gotten some negative press in the recent past? because he's real sensitive here to a man just doing his job. Not everyone is Dickie V and thinks everyone is wonderful and going to be great, it defeats the purpose of being an analyst of any kind. I may not agree with what Merril Hoge has to say but I'll defend his right to say it. Most professional athletes just don't get it, you don't have to have played a sport professionally to critique it or coach it. Vince Lombardi, guy never played a snap of pro football, I think he made a good coach. Red Auerbach, 9 ships, 0 minutes playing in the NBA. Michelle Beadle, phenomenal analyst, no WNBA minutes logged as far as I know. Just shut up LeBron.
