More Cuts at ESPN

Only reason I can think of for Greenberg’s continued employment at ESPN is, A) Some very powerful ESPN leadership has ties to Epstein and B), Greenie knows about it and keeps threatening to go public

 

Do you realize how many shows they’d have to replace if that’s the standard?

 

I viscerally loathe Neil Everett, whose third-generation Kilborn-ian ironic smarminess single-handedly made SportsCenter unwatchable. I literally cannot reach the remote fast enough whenever SportsCenter is on, just in case he's on. That he and Verrett (harmless but meh) are painted as the Olbermann/Patrick of this generation tells you how shitty things have become.

 

Get him in a football booth, and it's not a bad listen. He actually knows a lot about football.
Him and Greenberg together were unlistenable.

 

Good Heavens, I miss Kilborn.

 

It's really bizarre when he resurfaces - he was on Russillo's podcast about a year ago, and he was all over the place. He must have banked most of his cash from The Late Late Show, because he lives a pretty bohemian life now.

 

I was not prepared for the sight of Craiggers with a graying and receding hairline. But he is almost 59. I also was not prepared for that.

 

when vanilla is too spicy they're the go-to

 

The saddest part about this is, I believe they were better than the Golic and Wingo failure, and both of those were light-years better than the Keyshawn, Jay-Will and Zuban dreck that's currently in that spot.

ESPN Radio has some talent, but they refuse to let it anywhere near the morning show.

 

To crib from DSD here a bit, ESPN seems to specialize in two things right now - Vanilla or Loud.

 

THAT IS UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS and we'll tell you why after this break from our friends at State Farm

 

We're gonna tell you THREE WAYS... that the Bucks' halfcourt offense is like Napoleon's exile to Elba.
