ESPN pay cuts?

Didn't the Bear leave too, for the Fox show, maybe?

 

To me, their three-man booth for fights added nothing. Tessitore just yelled and shilled and Bradley and Ward talked over each other. Never minded Max as a boxing guy but that might have made me a minority.

 

IDK but I hope so.

Talk about a nothingburger.

 

College Gameday was already a shark jumping shit show. This doesn’t help.

 

The show could benefit from some trimming - you keep adding people, you feel you need to give them screen time. McAfee will eventually take Corso's position - he won't don the mascot head, maybe he'll take off his pants and show that he's wearing a speedo in his pick's colors.

 

It used to be that I just stopped paying attention when it was on but now it’s pure hatred at what a cliche it’s become, opening with that shit ass song from those two fake country buffoons, then half of it just being goofing around and shots of morons with signs. Herbstreits opinion is whatever his masters have poured into his brain and Desmond is a biased shill. The only thing worth watching— the Tom Rinaldi tear jerker — has been moved to Fox. It’s 20 minutes of real work stretched out over three hours. If I want to see that I can just read one of my old stories.

 

ESPN alum hard times. https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/hbo-cancels-game-theory-with-bomani-jones-after-two-seasons/

 

I'm wondering if it was simply too similar in some ways to Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
