Title: ESPN Exodus
Post by: Snaggletiger on May 24, 2016, 12:26:59 PM
Apparently, our favorite sports conglomerate, ESPN, is going through some changes. A ton of turnover in recent months, some forced and some over disputes.

Mike Tirico:  Very solid announcer IMO.  Hate to see him go.

Chris Carter:  Did a decent job but this one didn't make me blink.

Ray Lewis:  Lucky he didn't off a bitch on the way out the door.

Skip Bayless:  Why oh why oh why couldn't it have been that loud mouth racist, Steven A. Smith?

Curt Schilling:  When Michael Sam and Bruce-ina Jenner are your Courage Award winners, you'd better tow the company line.

Trent Dilfer: No biggee but I always thought he was a solid analyst.

Colin Cowherd:  You either loved him or hated him but he was always entertaining to me.  But like Schilling, his comments rubbed the ESPN brass the wrong way.

Bill Simmons:  That's Mrs. Simmons' boy.  That's all I got.

Keith Olbermann:  I may disagree with his politics, but when he focused on sports, he was damn funny to me.  He and Patrick are still the best Sports Center co-anchors ever to grace the set. That was back in the day when ESPN was at its best.  To me anyway.

Jason Whitlock:  Meh!  Can't recall much about the guy.

Didn't care much for Tirico.  Too exuberant calling games.  Seemed forced.

Skip Bayless is a dumbass.  But you're right. At least he wasn't a loud know nothing racist like Stephen A. 

Patrick and olbermann were magic.  Used to watch SC just for them.  They made it what it is today, which isn't what it was when they did it.   I like Scott but his show is painful to watch. 

Dilfer is a loss despite those stupid "dimes" they had him doing. 

Ray Lewis should be in prison. 

The one I wish they would get rid of is Barry melrose.  I hate that guy.  As soon as he comes on the screen I change the channel.

He's so fucking ugly I can't watch him.  Makes my skin crawl.  And he's a condescending prick who really doesn't know all that much.

They had to clear up some cap room for the rights to broadcast video game competitions.

Maybe they will move Holly Rowe to the Ocho, covering dodgeball.

Holly Rowe has a huuuuuge stinker. It is even fat from the scholarship donor seats.

When she's lumbering down the sideline, it looks like two coons fighting in a crocker sack from a rearward view.

Or a dwarf hippo having an epileptic fit while being tasered.

Fair. But not nearly  as hilarious as my coons in a sack analogy. We'll see who gets more Likes.

Blatantly racist jokes do not warrant likes.


Well, I guess it's okay if CCTAU likes it, but otherwise, that shit will not be tolerated.

Simmons is a good writer, but too NBA-centric for me. 

Cowherd and Olbermann and too smart for most of their audience and I like that about them.

The rest of that crew can piss off.  Not a single memorable voice/character on the list.

You do realize that the comment was about McElroy and not Chizad, right?

I vote for coon/croaker sack analogy.

With a glass of 30 year old port.

One doesn't need a monocle to see the girth of that booty!

I like Tirico. Can someone name a game analyst that's better today? He's as solid as they come by today's standards. Blackledge is ok. Herbie is halfway ok. Pollock too.

Thinking of Verne and Gary, Jesse, Mike Patrick, Andre ware - yeah that makes Tirico look much better to me. Perspective.

Like snags, I didn't always agree with Cowherd but he said what he wanted and was brutally honest.

When is ESPN gonna get rid of that talentless bumbling duo called Jamelle and Michael. It's like amateur hour on the local sports show. Nothing funnier than watching someone who isn't smart (Jamelle Hill) try to talk smart. She can't say the word "ask" correctly to save her life. She fixin to axe someone sumpin. That show is a waste of airtime.

It's like I think the very same thing this morning, log on here, and you've typed it.  Those two add nothing to that network.

Yeah they do. An affirmative action notch in their belt.

Because that has to be the only reason those two have a job beyond being envelope stuffers. They belong in the mailroom or making copies for someone who actually is talented at the network.

All the random women milling around on ESPN is a problem for me. 

I don't want to watch three female SC anchors standing around.  They're all interchangeable. 

And some of them are pretty harsh to look at.
