Once LeBatard is gone they will have lost basically all of their big names except Mike Greenberg and Max Kellerman. Who are both extremely generic.

There's still people from the LeBatard Expanded Universe like Mina, Pablo, Bomani and Katie Nolan who are really good.

Yeah I think ESPN's current philosophy is that their bread is buttered with the actual games and that the on-air talent for the shows in between (and on the radio) isn't really worth a big investment.

That isn't really a new thing though. Live sports programming has always been the big moneymaker. They just had a huge issue with overpaying for MNF, then having all live sports stop for months.

It's not a new dynamic, but it could be new management/philosophy in terms of how they want to spend their money. Because honestly, how much ratings difference is there between some of their higher paid talent and a replacement-level talking head? Who's making appointment viewing of any of these shows anymore?

It’s nothing more than trimming costs to keep the price of Disney stock up. The more they trim, the higher the stock price. That’s all it comes down to.

Cari Champion and Jemele Hill somehow made Jake loving Paul look like the reasonable one in a conversation.

I feel like Jemele had a little self awareness of what a stupid conversation that was but not enough to stop it.

Yeah this was either a joke that just bombed spectacularly, or an incredibly lazy attempt at a gotcha question and I could kinda go either way on it.

Jemele was clearly making a lovely joke. Cari made it hella weird asking it again.

No it's extremely funny that they thought the best guy to recreate the success of the Last Dance was someone whose most interesting characteristic is that he started a cult based on stretching a lot.

Actually it’s the fact that despite the fact that he’s the most successful NFL player of all time, he’s married to a woman who is still way more impressive, interesting and cool than him Give me 9 hours on Giselle, ESPN
