I don’t begrudge anyone who receives big money from people who are willing to pay them. God bless the Matt Flynns of the world, the Brock Osweilers, and anyone who cashed in on a few moments in time. Of course, I do feel bad for the fans of these franchises. Their teams are sitting with dead money, and those contracts can literally decimate a team for at least half a decade, not to mention getting many front office people fired. Sports and entertainment history is littered with cautionary tales of dead money, money spent on people who had a moment. Again, I don’t begrudge, take what you can earn if someone is willing to pay. Lord knows as a Yankee fan I know about dead money.
How did Joey do without his Friends? How has Katie done without Matt? How did Joanie and Chachi do without The Fonz? How did Elton do without Bernie? The list goes on and I’m sure you can add many instances that I have omitted. Hey, how’s Colbert doing without his Stewart? You can put some people in a grocery aisle, and people will ask them advice on which ketchup to buy or what’s the softest toilet paper. Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, to name a few, and some people who you will politely say to, excuse me, your wagon is in my way, Megyn Kelly.
A great rule in life, Megs, is to never overvalue your hand, and never to believe the hype, maybe that’s two rules. You had a moment and good for you, you seized on it. Instead of reporting on a story you became the story. I can’t believe I’m going to compliment Chuck Todd, Anderson Cooper, and Jake Tapper right now, or for that matter Katy Tur, but all of them made the decision to report on “the story” and not become the story. Some of these people were far more knocked and ridiculed than you were, obviously in my opinion fairly. But you seized on it like a fat guy at a buffet.
Strong women don’t scare me, I was raised by an incredibly strong one, that’s not the reason I don’t love you. Maybe I’m just too old, and met too many men and women like you to fall for that crocodile smile. I just don’t see you as anything more than a wagon pusher. But, hey, the brain trust that is NBC obviously knows way more than I do; these news programs and news networks are doing so incredibly well. Andy Lack, I would suggest you Google the names Matt Millen, Omar Minaya, any general manager of the Cleveland Browns, since you just might need a few people to talk to in a year and half or so. And just a heads-up, watch what you say, you don’t want to be “Swifted” in Megyn’s next book.
Remember McLean Stevenson? Most people don’t. How about George Lazenby? Shelly Long? All these are people who overplayed their hands. Wagon pushers, hey I’m a wagon pusher myself so that’s not a knock on wagon pushers. Again, I don’t begrudge the money and power you, Megyn, have just attained. I don’t get it, but the brain trust at NBC apparently does. It’s their money not mine. I guess someone out there is interested in hearing, on a daily basis, about her husband and kids. Apparently someone else out there is interested in bad snark. Hey, just because I don’t get something, doesn’t mean there aren’t many who don’t. I did miss the mark on Trump. I just pray you put Chris Stirewalt into your contract, please from the bottom of my heart, please.
Sometimes you truly do get addition by subtraction, and you — I’m addressing Fox News now — just added a lot. Remember you have made stars, not the other way around. You will make another and many more after that. Whether it’s Shannon Bream, Trish Regan, or an unknown in your plush farm system, I promise you this: in a month or two max, this will be a side note in your history. Yeah, she will get a lot of hype pretty soon and her billboards will be all over, and you will question if you made the right move; when you are going through that nervous time, Matt Millen is free to talk, so is Trent Baalke. Every GM’s fear is trading Babe Ruth, or not drafting Derek Jeter, I promise you have not done either. Hey maybe I’m wrong, and Megyn Kelly will propel NBC into ratings gold, and maybe Brock Osweiler will be this year’s Super Bowl MVP.
who is she up against at fox in the same time slots?
She thought she was so hot.
It failed, she failed, goodbye.
Megyn’s Kelly's Moment Will Prove Fleeting
Let's hope so..............
FOX made her a star.
NBC will make her a nobody again.
She will end up on MSNBC doing shows about homo spousal abuse, lesbian love triangle murders, or muslims in max security prison.
Will someone please pass this note to Megan Kelly:..
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt.

Females in this business seem to be no more than the inside of a Kennedy sandwich and are passed around for everyone to take their bite. Just an observation.
Kelly’s only hope in her new gig is to go totally, goofily lib. Anything short of that, and her new audience will never accept her. Some will never accept her no matter what; she will forever be tainted by her former association with Fox.
Megyn lost me when she fell in love with the idea of being part of the story. That, for me, is a fatal flaw for a journalist. And her posing for cheesecake photos and talking about her sex life on national TV didn’t help her image.
Missy Megyn has gone all Kathleen Parker.
Just another ho.
Most of the people reading the article probably do remember all of them.
They might even know how to spell Shelley Long's name or wonder just how George Lazenby overplayed his hand.
I get the point he's making, but Shelley and McLean are remembered, if only for the mistakes they made.
(OwenKellogg, I borrowed your pic/meme.)
In the end, Fox viewers will not follow her to NBC. NBC viewers will reject her because she came from Fox. And who watches daytime tv anyway?
A ditzy blond barmaid and the weakest Bond in the history of Bond movies. They are well remembered...almost as much as McLean Stevenson.
I wonder if the left will use her as an example of how conservatives treat women unfairly. I wonder if she’ll play along with her new bosses and will take shots at Fox News from her new job?
I never saw Megyn as a journalist. More a personality asking questions and making comments. But she was entertaining. Until she wasn’t. As her ego great exponentially before our eyes (or maybe was just less hidden), her ego became an immovable wall against the ‘news.’ Her wall filled with her life sized image was plastered all over every segment she either sat in on or that was fully hers. I’m so very happy Megyn and her cosmos sized ego have blown over to NBC as it deflates into something more odd and grotesque losing the only stake that served to ground her and give her gravitas.
Let her rip!
Me Again should save her money, and invest it in something that produces a pretty fair amount of current income (and a growing stream would be even better). Why? Because I don’t give her more than about 2 years at this super-high salary, and when her ratings fall a bunch after the initial excitement and marketing, she won’t be long for NBC. Within 5 years she won’t be doing that well. Hence, the need for a stream of income separate from getting in front of a camera.
NOBODY likes a “journalist” who makes themselves the story. Report the news, don’t make it.
