I thought ads were supposed to make me want to watch the show. I'm a little predisposed to hate Bill Simmons though, so I went from not wanting to watch it, to actively avoiding it.

He did some college football last year. He did the Iowa/Wisconsin game and was awful. And granted that game was trash, but he was routinely loving up basic facts and misidentifying players too.

I watched that Iowa/Wisconsin game and I remember nothing about Steve Levy. Most of ESPN's college football crew seems to be blending into this shapeless blob of bland and forgettable now that they're jettisoning their big names (read: most expensive names).

I still haven't forgiven them for actively burying Brent Musburger.

Nessler's the one going to CBS and will eventually replace Uncle Verne, he's doing NFL and probably college hoops until then.

I'm sure this will not be a popular opinion, but I have never found Kenny Mayne to be even the least bit funny or entertaining. He's like Ricky Gervais--- he's popular for some reason and is up his own rear end because everyone thinks he's goddamned hilarious for some reason but I can't stand the sight of his stupid smug face.

Unless it turns out you know Kenny, which is possible.
