I love what Rich Eisen has done with the NFL Network, his podcasts, and his unique rapport with the players and personnel of the league. His 40-yard dash(?) to close the Scouting Combine is an annual classic. All that being said, there are a couple of things that Eisen needs to stop. Now.
More than any other media personality, that I have noticed, Rich Eisen keeps bringing up the idiotic notion of the Eagles "dream team." Vince Young ridiculously started it. It was a mistake then, and the media, as always, keeps making it worse. Eisen more than most. He's better than that.
The other issue is more of a pet peeve. On several occasions, Eisen has referred to the '80s as old school football. The Cowboys and the 49ers of the early 90s even creep into his old school references. That's so wrong. I've said it before and I'll say it always. Leather helmets, clothesline tackles, Red Grange, "Concrete Charlie", "Crazylegs" Hirsch, and Bronko Nagurski are old school football. Everything since is football.
