    Don't forget Michael Wilbon, still a highly respected journalist. I felt kinda bad for him, too.

    When it comes to polls, you know going in that you'll only have so many responses. It's not like they expected millions of people to participate (they hoped, sure) but when was the last time your Web site got 370,000 hits for a simple poll question?

    I don't work at ESPN and actually loathe it in many respects such as this current promotion that is so worthless, but to say that a poll question got only 370,000 people seems kind of par for the course of a decent sampling for a simple question about Tiger or LeBron.

    Apparently they're planning something similar for next July... I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it will suck.

    According to some of my friends in the business, Wilbon wanted nothing to do with it, but wouldn't say no in large part because of the new contract he signed last year that throws him more than a mil a year...

    I've got a suggestion...

    Sites I've worked with have never had 370K votes on a poll, but we also don't get the page views or unique visitors of espn.com.

    Who's Now was up there with the fake baseball press conferences as being a disgrace to sports journalists everywhere. Not surprisingly, Stuart Scott was the face of it.
