LeBatard out at ESPN

Could not care less. I don't listen to any kind of talk radio or podcast. Now or ever

 

Good for them. But when I didn't change the channel when the show comes on and I see on of the hosts in a rag for a shirt because of some bet, a bunch of guys trying to out bro the other with backward hats going on about god knows what they didn't exactly come off as anything else. Sorry I offended the sensabilities of people who fought their way up but that's how they came off. And it was unwatchable.

 

Not only was M&M required....it was required LIVE.
Yeah. One of our bigger markets dumped them for Fox Sports so fast, it made their heads spin.
M&M was absolutely unlistenable.

 

Get the feeling ESPN/Disney are shedding as much cost/payroll as possible to bid on some upcoming rights packages. Then they'll backfill with cheaper talent once those packages are secure and they can get the ad money to roll in.

Because it's not just Le Betard. Why would you let Trey Wingo, the consummate versatile host, go unless you were shedding the salaries of experienced people?

 

Fox Sports Radio airs a promo touting the "greatest lineup in sports radio" - I thought that was "highly questionable," if you will, considering some of the clowns that have shows on Fox - but damn CBS has Jim Rome and a bunch of guys that couldn't hold down an NYC drive-time slot and ESPN has less than that. I'd figure ESPN would at least sprinkle in some name talent in their line-up. A grab-bag show where you grab players/contributors to the network on campus to tape shows and pick their brains. That network could really use a Tony Kornheiser or anyone who has been in the biz long enough where he could reach out and kibbitz with players. I realize ESPN hosts don't take calls, but hearing them talk amongst themselves and play their ridiculous "games" is pretty lame.

 

"I don't even own a television."

 

I...don't care what you watch or listen to?

I was correcting the thought that these were some spoiled little group of frat bros. I've interacted with enough of them in life.

I also think we should all be 50 percent sillier in life. You'd probably judge me in public. And you'd be wrong.

 

With 3% butter ripple too.

 

I just realized I wouldn't want to spend a minute with half of you.

 

I want to watch Whitlock interview oop.

 

I want to watch oop interview Tomlin.
