Which ESPN "talent" would you let go......
Mar 7, 2017, 11:13 AM
|
|
As mentioned, it looks as if ESPN is about to layoff a bunch of on-air talent. Which would you let go? My choices:
Steven A Smith
Michelle Beadle- this wont be popular but just don't like her.

Hmmm? In MY dreams, she doesn't need a divorce.
I keed - I keed. Happily married for 100 years. Whew - that was close.

McShay - idiot, always has been
Everyone on Around The Horn.
Jay Crawford - dorkiest of dorky dudes.
Jemele Hill - used to like her knowledge but she's now inserting race into everything for some reason?
Scott Van Pelt - used to be ok, now just self-important and thinks he's HILARIOUS. Also, did a story about how Lamar Jackson should win the Heisman based on a ball he threw in the dirt against us.
Stephen A. - so obvious
Ed Cunningham - more obvious
Do they still have Hannah Storm? Keep her.

I read somewhere (nfl.com?) that Kaylee Hartung is leaving ESPN for the NFL. Not sure if true though.

I like her. She seems to be smart and a hard worker, and she holds her own against the blowhards. Like her low key, low volume approach. She seems to have a good feel for tone; that is, when to be light and jocular and when to be serious and firm. Probably not the most popular opinion, but there ya go.

that's fine. I she's not my least favorite by far. Probably Mark May is! I know a lot on here have given her grief over the last several years.

Mike Golic, Ed Cunningham, Jemele Hill and the clown that is on with her, Jesse Palmer, Mark May, Chris Fowler, Stephen A@@ Smith, Bomani Jones, and Leotard. Just to name a few.

Sorry but no way on Mike Golic..
Mar 7, 2017, 11:48 AM
|

He is one of the few true Deshaun Watson fans they have. I'll never forget the day the other Mike said the Texans could win it all, and Golic said, "No way they are a turnover machine." Then the other Mike said, "Clemson won the National Championship with more turnovers!" And Golic said, "Yeah, but Clemson had Deshaun Watson, the Texans have Brock Ostweiler!"

He brings real substance to his show rather than shock jock shows like Cowherd or Rome.

Keep: a few folks to present highlights on Sportscenter.
Boot: anyone whose job it is to present hot takes and set narratives....so pretty much everyone else. Also, hire back Bayless just to fire his horrible ar$e.

Another $20 that they will agree with the decision for equality reasons and to disprove the notion of white privilege.

Don't put Stephen A. Smith on this list as it is supposed to be "talent" they are to part with. Stephen A. is a talent-challenged loudmouth buffoon. Never played a thing so his opinion carries none of his buck35 weight.

I watch so little of it now I can't really make a list
Mar 8, 2017, 9:02 AM

I only watch ESPN college football-related stuff, so:
Lee Corso.....it's time, my man.
Keep Herbie, Rece Davis and Dave Pollack. Desmond Howard, take or leave him, don't care.
I'd also dump
Most of the CFP Daily people (esp the Clemson hater musician guy). Except Tom Lugenbill and Danny Kanell, I like them.
All the women (I love women, but I don't tune in to college football to see them and hear their opinions)
Mark May
Mack Brown
most of the announcers (Cunningham, Palmer, Mike Patrick, yada yada yada.....)
