That's a new Twitter profile from Myles. Looks like he got the nod of approval from the Rams. Good for him.

He's a Columbia grad, so he understands the big city.

I just don't see Myles lasting in the LA market. I think they're going to need a more sophisticated male counterpart of Dani.

Dani could smile her way into office. Myles, we'll see. As BC pointed out, his photo's show he's up by the Hollywood sign and the other is of the Pacific Palisades/ Santa Monica Calif Grade park. 2 of the nicest spots in LA (to bad he didn't pick a clearer day) so he must know his way around.
Wish them well.

In '84-'85 I was stationed on the DMZ in Korea (Camp Stanley), The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were coming to visit us soldiers stationed there. I was selected to be one of the guards protecting them while they were there. Picked them up in Seoul Kimpo airport and rode a Huey up to the DMZ with them. Spent three days escorting them to all the posts, ate in the mess halls with them and stood guard outside the Quansut huts where they lodged. One of the girls got quite friendly with me. One night she invited me in. She wanted to see my "gun". :mrgreen:

What's your definition of sophisticated? The guy went to Columbia, he spent 4 years in NYC.

My guess is that he's a pretty sharp kid. Maybe not all that football savvy, but he's city savvy. Anyone who can handle himself in NYC, will have no problem in LA.

He isn't a compelling on-screen presence. I don't know anything about the guy personally, and have never met him, but the LA audience is used to highly polished and strong on-air personalities who are dynamic on-screen. I just don't see that in Myles. From what you've described, and what I see, I think he's better suited for behind-the-camera work. Perhaps an x-Rams player would fit the bill here.

Most excelent bubba. Dallas girls were always the best back then too. I hope your gun passed inspection. 8-)

Ah, I get you now. I wouldn't call that sophisticated, I would call that dynamic.

Yeah, I don't see dynamic either.

Yeah, after reading your comments, it's obvious that sophisticated wasn't the best choice of words :)
