For a smart guy, Miller doesn't seem to learn

November 28, 2007

A piece by Kostya Kennedy in the Dec. 3 edition of Sports Illustrated does not exactly gush over Dennis Miller’s latest venture.

Anyone tuning into Sports Unfiltered, writes Kennedy in an item titled “Snark Attack,”  “with expectations heightened byMiller’s work on HBO or his inspired stint as a weekend update anchor on Saturday Night Live is in for a disappointment.”

The program, which airs weekly on the Versus cable channel following NHL games, “doesn’t rise above the shtick, and Miller’s shtick feels increasingly forced. His analogies are often flat and strained. Sometimes they’re just false.”

I could go on; Kennedy does, but the point is made. Miller fell out of favor on Monday Night Football because of his “intellectual antics.”

Anyway, here’s a clip of Miller and Bob Costas discussing the de-merits of the latest Alex Rodriguez contract. And an interview Miller did for TV Guide.
