Crazy Ted posted:The fact that more than twelve people watch preseason football is perhaps the greatest testament to how popular/powerful the NFL is. Despite marketers' best efforts we can't tell how many people REALLY watched it. I want to believe that people were like "oh yeah football" left the channel on and wandered about the house. Not "HELL YEAH FOOTBALL IS BACK" *furiously takes notes for fantasy*

HQ was apparently filmed with no AC in the building and LeBatard is slowly deteriorating as the snow goes on.

Late career Walton has been an incredible gift to the world. There's no way he even knows the rules of baseball. I can't wait.

I watched some tourney game from Hawaii specifically for him and he didn't disappoint. He hosed with the poor lead announcer pretty much the entire game.

There's a tweet that says every day Twitter has a main character, and the goal is never to be it. Portnoy has always been a dickweed but that's definitely him today.

They're far and away the biggest network, not surprising that the mouse would put the biggest market teams on there.

The big rumor with Turner is Marv is going to be replaced soon. The rumor also says Brian Anderson will take Marv's spot, which would open up a PbP spot which I'm sure Stan will take.

If they aren't doing player's only anymore they also need someone on the Monday slot since Kenny, Ernie and Barkley don't work Monday (Shaq does anything that has a payday). ESPN was barely using SVG they just kept mostly going with the Pierce/Chauncey/Rose/Michelle Beadle lineup. SVG/Candace/Shaq/Guest sounds good to me (I'm assuming Webber will probably get stuck in there somehow but he sucks).

I hope to god Marv is retiring.

Webber was pretty good in studio when he first started getting into TV but Kenny and Charles are never gonna retire so he never gets to do it and instead has to actually call games which he sucks so bad at.

I’m still shocked that Marv didn’t get dumped at the MeToo movement. I know he didn’t plead guilty to it, but he was accused of forcing a woman to have oral sex with him and bitting her.
