LeBatard out at ESPN

Well ... don't we think Michael Wilbon would have sniffed that out by now?

 

I bailed on Kornheiser before he became a podcast. I bailed on Kornheiser when his WTEM show in Washington turned into a daily humble brag about all of the free golf he was getting at courses throughout the northeast one summer. Rich guys telling me how privileged they are isn’t interesting.

 

Golf 'humor' = instant flip

 

One of many reasons I bolted on Steve Czaban. I don’t care about your golf game, Steve. No one does.

 

Years ago Greenberg acted like he discovered golf as well. It’s bad radio if you aren’t a golfer, and worse if you are.

 

Bad radio is redundant.

 

I don’t even like people talking about golf as I play golf.

 

I don’t play golf, for money, against people.

 

I had a guy in this house today talking to me about golf. It was like one of the movies where you can see dude's mouth moving but no words are audible. That's the best way to hear about golf.

 

Don't talk shit about the Mighty 690.

 

I am a loyal little and the show has been on a decline since he went to podcast only. That decline got much steeper since COVID. His world is basically walking his dog and watching golf. Having his son as the every podcast co-host must be nice personally but brings nothing to the show as a whole as he is just incredibly boring. The show used to be smart, funny and slightly mean and now it rarely is like that. There was a sense of community about the rotating co-hosts and guests which has just disappeared.
