The Kid stays in the picture

| | Comments (0) |

He wasn't on the Opening Day roster of player transactions reported by all the networks for their NFL pregame shows, but 10-year-old Jason Krause of Chicago probably generated the most free-agent buzz (both positive and negative) from Week 1.
See for yourself. He upstaged Chris Berman, for one, with better info.
ESPN snuck him into their two-hour “Sunday NFL Countdown” buffet, with a 1 minute, 15 second segment called “Takin’ It To the House." From his bunkbed, the fifth grader lisped a diss of Detroit and quarterback Jon Kitna for predicting a 10-win season -- “frankly, you’re no Joe Namath,” the kid historian said in his best Jim Rome blast mode.
For his next trick, Krause will back to “discuss sportsmanship,” according to ESPN, as it pertains to the bad blood between the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots, who face each other on a rival network Sunday night.
If Krause looks familiar, he’s the camera-friendly older brother of Dani Krause, who, while recovering from brain cancer, was the recipient of a day of figure skating with Michelle Kwan on this summer’s ESPN SportsCenter series called “My Wish.”
