    Three years to go on a four-year contract, IIRC. Curious how that works.

    Or they're going to create an Undefeated TV franchise and she's their first hire.

    Sort of like a certain attention-grabbing female actress/comedian/comedy writer who has been the subject of multiple threads. If you've been around this site awhile, chances are you know who I'm talking about.

    That sounds like a great way to lose a lot of money very quickly. So I fully expect it to happen.

    So The Undefeated just suffered its first (Jem)-L?

    And when she is mentioned, some people always scream that she is only relevant because people bring her up here.

    What did they ever say on the show that was controversial?

    It was all her tweets, no?

    Smith, who will remain host of SC6 even as Hill moves on, emphasized that he would continue “to do the same shit I’ve been doing for the past 14 years at ESPN.”

    I scrolled up to make sure this wasn't The Onion. Not listening to that podcast to verify, but can you really get away with saying that? At a company that has laid off a lot of people more talented than you?

    Same shit, different day.

    I agree. Unprofessional.

    He's not going anywhere if he doesn't want to. Neither, I'm guessing, is Hill.

    IMO, it wasn't a good show before ESPN softened the commentary, and it was worse after, because neither Smith nor Hill are natural broadcasters.

    Of course, ESPN has a lot of "hmmm" talent on SC these days. I'm a particular fan of the anchor who pauses and gives side glances while doing interviews like they are up for a job in an indie movie.

    I guess I'm in the 1%. Fuck her.
