ESPN Heisman Poll Humiliates Landry Jones
Published: 9/19/2012 3:18 PM

Everybody knows ESPN is a fat cat comprised of failed coaches and hack analysts blowing and going around the clock.

Everybody but ESPN knows that.

But its current Heisman poll is even nuttier than most of the stuff on the network that gave us Chris "Can of Corn" Berman, and simply won't take him back.

The ESPN Heisman poll is updated weekly and this one doesn't even have OU quarterback Landry Jones in its top 15!

True, OU hasn't played anybody.

But has West Virginia, whose rinky-dink High School Hot Dog option quarterback is number one on the Heisman list, played anybody?

Somebody named Franklin who plays for UCLA is way up there on the list.

The Kansas State battering ram quarterback is number six.

Somebody from Louisville is number seven.

The panel comprised of alleged "experts" who didn't vote Landry Jones in the top 15 should be ashamed of themselves if they have any shame left.

Agreed. Let's hope for Kenny Stills, Metoyer, and the kid from Penn State to have a big day.

PS; Where is Roy Finch?

Based on his weekly columns during the 2011 and current seasons, I am surprised The Picker’s comments didn’t pat himself on the back for having a weak regard for Landry Jones well before ESPN personnel.

If Jones deserves consideration he will get there by December. If he doesn't he won't. Its early yet.

Roy Finch is in the birdhouse/doghouse.

The kid from West Virginia is a legit Heisman candidate QB.
