Just give him the damn boot.
Keyshawn Johnson is the first casualty of a major shakeup at ESPN’s pregame “Sunday NFL Countdown,” Sports Illustrated reported.
The former Jets star, who has been with ESPN since the day he retired in 2007, didn’t have his contract renewed. “NFL Countdown” was his most prominent role, though he has appeared on a number of ESPN and ESPN Radio programs over the years.
SI tipped Louis Riddick and Ryan Clark as potential ESPN in-house replacements, as well as the personable and eloquent Charles Woodson, who retired following last season.
Johnson, known in his playing days for making plays and telling everyone about them, played 11 seasons after being the first overall pick of the Jets in the 1996 Draft. He won a Super Bowl in 2002 with the Buccaneers.
