    That's a rip-off of a MSG or YES Network show. Kinda like Sports Reporters was a rip-off of Sportswriters on TV

    Okay, the other day I was in the Smithsonian African American History museum and when I made it to the sports presentation, Ms. Hill and Mr. Smith were in the video presentation and instead of dismissing them, thought they both did excellent work. Just sayin'. Then again, I was in a great mood because my college founder has her own room display nearby and I was feeling quite proud...

    Does this mean Jemele is free to go back to blogging about oral sex?

    Michael Smith's time was getting short.

    Last month, he said some things in a podcast with Miller about SC6 that many in the business would consider a firable offense.

    They had to do something different with SC but those two weren't the answer.

    There isn’t a lot of trust within ESPN anymore, and here’s part of why: They all have their respective media cry corners they can run to. Deitsch. Miller. Clay Travis. Deadspin.

    The company eats itself from the inside. That’s what happens when the rank and file of a place lose respect and confidence in the leaders of the operation.

    Is that because of dysfunction at ESPN? It’s more a byproduct of how large the place is, IMO.

    Perhaps conservative superhero Clay Travis will be appeased now that ESPN has promoted a conservative in Sage Steele. Somehow I doubt it.

    I'd watch Sage Steele sit there and read game scores, though. For a couple of weeks, anyway.

    I like how, in a news story, USA Today feels the need to reiterate that what Hill wrote on twitter likely had nothing to do with their so-so-to-poor ratings.

    It’s amazing to me how the National sports media just kind of decides how it’ll think about an issue.

    It’s part of why nimrod clay travis has an audience.
