Dan and Stu were on Simms' Podcast. They're pretty candid and laid back. There is cursing.

Their contracts are up soon and they’re the biggest thing on ESPN, sports radio, sports podcasts, etc.

I don’t think they’ll leave. This is the perfect time to flirt with somebody and get ESPN to sweeten their next deal.

The only upshot is the ability to swear, but that wouldn't be worth the cost of removing them from ESPN.

She's a maniac, maniac

And she's dancing like she's never danced before
^^^ he was right. Love him or hate him, Cowherd had a good thing going with ESPN, and now he's irrelevant.


espn radio's current lineup is truly awful.

golic and wingo - absolute trash
dan/stu - great but I'm always busy when it airs
stephen a show - lmao who listens to this poo poo
will cain - hot take/troll zone

Other than Dan/Stu, I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to any of these shows. My local affiliate recently swapped Paul Finebaum, which was at least somewhat entertaining, with the Will Cain show. It only took 30 seconds for me to conclude that the show sucks: "when we come back I'm going to give you the real story, the one that nobody else is talking about" No thanks, Will.

Finebaum is just the Jerry Springer of sports radio with the callers. Its entertaining, but grows tired quickly.

Reminder that it used to be:

Mike and Mike
Cowherd
SVP and Russillo
Lebatard
Bomani Jones

That is literally something for everyone. Mike and Mike for your vanilla sports coverage, Cowherd for your hot takes, SVP and Russillo for sports and comedy, Lebatard for insanity, and Bomani for thought and insight

Top 5 moment in ATH history. Also up there: sometime after this, Plaschke uses an unelimiation to knock out Bo and Bo starts screaming GOOGLE BILL PLASCHKE CHINA as the lightning bolt hits.

Hank Azaria playing Brockmire throughout the Le Batard show yesterday was phenomenal from start to finish. That's the hardest I've laughed at that show in a while.
