More Cuts at ESPN

Maybe? I don't know. Isn't there Golic's show?

I'm trying to imagine how Beadle would play on the radio. She's basically a MC whose go-to opinion is disdain for...whatever it is she has disdain for.

 

Don't be talking shit 'bout those Spurs!

 

Somebody really needs to create an "anti-sports" show that turns the entire idea of "takes", analysis and speculation on its head.

 

"Fuck Those Takes!" hosted by Cody McClure

 

I’d go for a talk show with the talking heads wired up and the listeners/watchers could “buzz in” sort of like this:

 

I just think the last 10 years or so - or forever... - the discussion of sports on TV has taken on a fake gravitas that it doesn't merit. Jordan or LeBron is given the same level of seriousness as arguing the Peace in the Middle East.

 

Greenberg is a talented guy. Golic and Wingo are a disaster that have me listening to Esiason (or Morning Edition) until I can get my podcast ready. And speaking of disasters, our next guest is never a disaster... [/Wingo]

 

It's already out there, it's called "Pardon My Take"

 

Odd that it is EP'd by Bill Wolff of Maddow and The View fame, though he did start out at ESPN. I think you listen or watch these shows because you tend to be doing something else (driving to work, working out) - a three-hour TV centric show of news, opinion and analysis with a cast of people who have been around. Simulcast radio shows I get - and sure, no one is expected to watch all three hours, but what is going to be the visual element? It isn't they are going to have a "breakout star" take the airwaves by storm. I think someone like Bobby Bones would have been a better choice. He has hosted sports talk, most of his career has been in radio (country and rock) and probably has a more diverse resume to pull guests.

 

Kind of odd those hosts getting paid that much. Not like an all-star cast. I like Jalen Rose and Greeny as a host, but those salaries seem, uh, excessive.
