I'm really glad that Brent is being given the opportunity it to start over as a bookie and I hope you all share in my opinion.

Good night, Sweet Prince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drOTHJoTGhM& Brent pre-2006/Jenn Sterger was amazing. This 2000 Purdue-OSU game with Brees slinging it around is peak-Musburger in my bias mind.

Musburger had lost his fastball since his heyday but really had been phoning it in once he was demoted to the SEC Network. I imagine the Joe Mixon rant was the last straw and the network is letting him "retire" graciously instead of giving him the boot (and opening themselves up to legal action). Between Vin/Uncle Verne/Dick Enberg and now Brent, one step closer to driving all personality out of the sport and replacing it with cookie-cutter interchangeable white male Syracuse grads.

iospace posted:Wonder if he was given the retire or get fired ultimatum That wouldn't shock me at all. Like Koop said, he was already halfway out the door and it wouldn't surprise me if the Mixon thing effectively finished it. E: If anyone missed the Joe Mixon thing here you go. It's pretty uncomfortable. E2: Brent's brother, who is also his agent, says Brent wasn't forced out (yeah, OK...) and has some new venture to be announced soon. Potentially some manner of betting/handicapping radio show on Sirius/XM DJExile fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jan 25, 2017 |

I had ESPN on as background noise for the first time in a while. (away from home and just needed some noise while I worked). It was literally like 3 and a half hours of people screaming opinions at each other.. PTI really did indirectly ruin sports television it feels like.

PTI works because they don't take it that seriously and they have a short time limit for every topic.

Plus they have a natural rapport that every dumb debate show doesn't see and doesn't try. They just see two guys yelling at each other = ratings and go from there.
