    Wilbon/Kornheiser would be a shift.

    If you're listening to Greeny instead of DP from 9-noon, you're lost. DP is one of the few to have carved out a tremendous career outside of ESPN -- and that show is awesome.

    "Missed" is a big ask for me. From ESPN ... I got nothin'.

    There are podcasts. There’s no need to be shackled to the scheduling whims of radio or television stations.

    I like Scott Van Pelt. But he would have no problem finding a job if ESPN went away.

    I like him too, but they’ve got him buried. He should have a more prominent role

    When I was in high school a reporter on local weekly the wrote a long feature about his experiences moonlighting as a cab driver. I played basketball with another staffer who told me this guy was a hero to other staffers in the chain because he had turned the company in for not paying overtime. The company was guilty and had to pay out a lot in back wages and had to start paying back wages.

    However, while the company was scared to fire the whistle blower for legal reasons, he became clear he would not receive any overtime or ever get promoted. So the reporter took on the second job as a cab driver in order to make it financially. I wonder if the same thing will happen to Sage Stelle. She will have a job for life but never get a better assignment at ESPN.

    She's working under a contract.

    I suspect they will "fail to reach an agreement" when the current contract expires.

    Sage Steele turning up to watch a golf event at a country club in Tulsa seems wonderfully on-brand.

    I’m sure she’s there to check out the memorials to the 2021 Greenwood massacre …….

    Trying to decifer any sarcasm here.

    SVP is the only SC anchor who has his own show.

    Podcasts have changed so much over the past five years or so. I ditched my SiriusXM just today because I'm pretty much "podcast only" now.

    Based on her lunatic statements about Obama, COVID and vaccines she is in breech of contract, hopefully. The only real qualification that is non-negotiable should be veracity. She’s an idiot of Kyrie proportions. A raging moron
