lol. Disney is trying to cut costs and they have an employee that gets paid a ton of money for a 6 month job, in a role that a monkey could do and people are turning it into a culture war issue.

Must be exhausting to be constantly swinging at ghosts.

About to be replaced with someone making much more money so....

    Pollack took fucking shots at Texas every chance he got and I never found any of his commentary worth a fuck. May he be cast into the Tartarus of the sports commentary realm and wind up with a job for

Sam is babe, but she has a degree from Jerry Falwell University, so she's not bright at all.

She used to be cute as fuck but I don't know what the hell she did to her face a few years ago. She downgraded herself.

I was referring to Ponder. Sending into and out of breaks and tossing it around the set doesn’t seem like the most difficult job.

I didn’t mind RGIII on color (no racist) commentary. They must think they have someone better and/or cheaper for that role.

From the sound of it, they’re giving the Ponder role to someone else who already has a year round job there. I’m sure they’ll have to up the salary a bit, but less than paying Ponder her full salary.

Who is taking over?

Jason Kelce is taking his spot on NFL Countdown.

Only a ton if it's in Washingtons. Use Franklins like a human would, and it's only twenty pounds.

Pretty sure the “culture war” reference, along with her job, meant he was talking about Ponder, not Griffin.

Joke. Not particularly funny, but... joke.

If that did play a part, and the "last straw" was Ponder joining in on the cyberbullying dogpile of a female boxer in order to push a culture war in a country that the boxer has absolutely nothing to do with, and then refusing to apologize when their assertions about the boxer were proven to be completely unfounded and wrong...

...then it's pretty hard to feel sorry for her.

Wait, are you saying the Algerian boxer is a female, as in has XX chromosomes?

I've seen some new faces on SC recently, saw they hired the MJ Acosta-Ruiz from NFLN.

Are they still rolling out Linda Cohn to do the 8 o'clock Sportscenter? (I assume that's still a thing.) Good for her. Always thought she was a solid change of pace back when Sportscenter became all about one-liners and catch phrases.

Mike Greenberg sucks shit

Me trying to make it thru ESPN pregame show for the Texans vs Cowgirls MNF in November and all Mike Greenberg can talk about is the Jets:

I didn't mind Greenberg when he was on Mike and Mike but this fake excitement he talks with now is beyond irritating, can't listen to it.

McAfee getting sued by the Ole Miss college student who went viral because of a rumor she hooked up with her boyfriend's dad. Hopefully this chick drops the leg on them like Hogan did to Gawker

Along with McAfee, prominent sports media figures including Barstool Sports personalities Jack Mac and KFC, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, and ESPN St. Louis radio host Doug Vaughn contributed to the amplification of the salacious rumors.

Nah, that's a perfect summation of his show and that includes AJ Hawk.  There's zero content there.  It's just douchebags bouncing idiot shit off of each other.

But they have a disclaimer on the show. They can't be sued.

Apparently, that's the only type of show/podcast that still makes money these days.

Damn good run for “Stat Boy” from PTI which is still going strong for 25 years or so.

I do enjoy Freddie Coleman and Harry Douglass on ESPN Radio. No gimmicky, fratboy bullshit.  I like their takes and they don't always agree, but they also avoid the 'Let's argue like Mike & Mike routine.'  Freddie caught my ear when he started out doing late nights/ early morning years ago. I agree with him alot, but he also just has a great delivery along with genuine, non- canned answers that differentiates him from a lot of their people.

In 2006 I sat down to dinner at a Thai restaurant in DC.  And I hear a voice that sounds familiar at the next table.  It was Reali and one of his production assistants.  I overheard some pretty good ratings talk about Around the Horn and PTI and what guests/guest hosts cause the viewership to surge or crash.

And that’s the rest of the story….?

Booooo! 2006? So, spill the beans. How did it work out? Inquiring minds want to and all.

I remember hearing that PTI always crushed Around the Horn, even in the Max Kellerman days, and there was basically no drop-off when Reali guest hosted or took over.  Also, Wilbon being on the show that day was crucial for PTI's ratings.

Never much cared for ATH but always liked Woody’s messages on his chalkboard. 

How does Kendrick Perkins fat ass still get a check? He's more worthless in commentary than he was as a player

If Greenberg and Passan are still getting air time they haven't cut deep enough, the Mouse really needs to dig down.

I don’t understand their college football business model or content creation. Rece Davis hosted the biggest BIg Ten honk Dan Wetzel on his show today, and of course Dan spent the full 22 minutes blowing fOSU and Oregon. ESPN will not, checks notes, broadcast a single Big Ten regular season game this year. 

ESPN went out of their way to hire Wetzel away from Yahoo Sports. I can understand keeping your powder dry to buy RedZone and the NFL Network, but why the hell are they spending money on “talent” like Wetzel that they’ll never use?
