The reviews are in: T12 failed in his debut yesterday as a Fox NFL game analyst. But I’d argue he failed even before he failed. The ridiculous $375 million contract he got from Fox was bad enough, a figure so over the top that it alienated fans and raised legit questions about whether anyone deserved so much for so little. But all the pre-game hype about how much he practiced and studied tapes before his debut blah, blah, generated the impression that he wasn’t a natural, that it was all contrived and studio-tested. That was more damaging to his debut than the contract, if you ask me.
