Bill Walton joined ESPN’s National Championship coverage and got predictably weird

There is one and only one Bill Walton.

ESPN once again rolled out its “megacast” for the college football national championship game, and this year that meant 100 percent more Bill Walton. Walton was part of the “ESPN Voices” broadcast and showed up like only Bill Walton would.

Yes, that is Bill Walton dressed up like Uncle Sam, preparing to talk about a college football game. What else would one wear to do such a thing?

Walton is one of the most unique personalities in sports. He is also known to love the Grateful Dead. Oh and he likes to get high.

Later in the game, the broadcast came back from commercial and there was Walton in the middle of a rant about the legality of marijuana.

Walton also learned a thing during the broadcast ...

Bill Walton should officially be part of all sports broadcasts.
