Jonathan Goldsmith Visits SportsNation

MANjr fans know that we love Jonathan Goldsmith. He’s a cool, intelligent guy and a great interview. We also like the killer Cowherd-Beadle combo that is ESPN’s SportsNation. So when these two great tastes combine to create something extra tasty, we need to mention it.

Goldsmith appeared on SportsNation today and participated in a couple of games. He also crushed Texas Rangers pitcher Rich Harden in a poll that asked which pitch man was more interesting.

Goldsmith also participated in an online chat with SportsNation fans. Here’s a link to the chat on the ESPN SportsNation website.
