John Skipper Reveals . . .

She's very good. What don't you like?

I think she will do a good job of leading relatively intelligent discussions. I think that you probably need to be over the top liek Bayless of Smith to be successful in that time slot with a sports show. Look at morning drive sports radio. Do the provocateurs get better ratings than the down the middle guys?

This show is the snooze button of a.m. sports. I am not a huge FS1 fan of their programming, but I actually enjoy Cris Carter talking sports in the a.m.

I watched like 30 seconds of the ESPN show this morning. Reminds me way too much of Cold Pizza.

The view out the window looked pretty good when I saw it the other day.

This is a guy who gave his own site to Jason Whitlock. I'd say he was pretty coked up indeed.

Dejan, got a link?

The "missed flight" he mentions was a ride on the corporate jet with Bob Iger, after a night of partying after the ESPYs.

But, I'm sure he wasn't parting with any co-workers.

Was able to pull up the full WSJ article from the twitter link.

Nothing in there about sexual harassment. Conservative hero Clay Travis will be disappointed.

Conservative hero Clay Travis should get sued up the wazoo for his mud-slinging, but he won't be.

Would be an interesting case.

Didn't even realize Skipper said that "The people who've traded down have tended to not be sports fans, and have tended to be older and less affluent" back in 2012. Wow. What a clueless, graveyard-whistling, myopic asshat. Yeah, I'm not paying $200 a month for cable not because that's simply ridiculous and my dollars would be better spent elsewhere, but because I'm old white trash with no money. That's the ticket. Keep telling yourself that while you sit around in pointless meetings all day lamenting about why nobody wants to watch your dumb Get Up show that you burned north of $25 million on. Losers.

Wonder how many upper middle class sports fan parents read that comment and said "Wow, fork you."
