If Jared Carrabis has a problem with Jeter not wearing a hat, Jeter's right to not wear a hat.

A tv job also keeps guys like Jeter and Brady in the sport consciousness with minimal effort. No coaching or traveling or anything but you gently caress around on air for a couple of hours. It keeps your brand alive and feeds whatever fomo you might have about moving on. But yeah. It’s about money. And they no more have “enough” than any player does when they take a massive deal.

There really is nothing stupider than networks paying these huge salaries to analysts to call games when there isn't one person in the world who tunes into an NFL game on TV because of who the analyst is. They could play the games with just crowd noise or broadcasters that no one has ever heard of and not one less person would watch.

Analysts are important but there's no reason to believe Tom Brady in particular is any good at it. The Manningcast is great but Witten was a complete disaster

I find it invaluable to have an analyst who can sit there and tell me oh yea they were doing this and the defense was doing that to counter because I find that very interesting, but its also quite difficult to find such people and I bet I'm unusual in caring about the tiny details on a broadcast But also get that bag after your career for all I care, I'll just mute you if you suck

Our society's also generally obsessed with celebrities. Wipeout was good with John Henson and that guy from Sportscenter but now it's hosted by John Cena because celebrities have to do everything.

Jeter’s not even really a commentator or anything. He’s just on the pre/post game goof offs that are more about network and league marketing. Baseball’s just looking for it’s right combinations the way the NBA and NFL have. Sometimes that’s Shaq and Chuck and sometimes it’s Kenny Smith. It’s funny because those teams mean less in baseball than other sports since there’s no halftime or intermission. So really the only one watching are the diehards and there’s barely any real analysis to do.

And Inside the NBA is the best sports show on TV (until they ruin it by cramming Draymond Green in).

If they pay me a shitload of money to do some low stakes low effort poo poo, I'm taking it every time - who cares how much is already in the bank. Thats why Jeter and Ortiz and A Rod all do it even though they're not hard up for cash.

Yeah Inside the NBA is genuinely worth tuning into and probably draws people into games. I know it has for me. And NFL coverage is just all encompassing and people devote whole days to it. MLB wants something like this so they’ll keep throwing big names and personalities at it. It also probably won’t work because no one is gonna stay up an extra hour on a Tuesday night for baseball hijinks except the people you already have.

Jeter’s just always had this tight stranglehold around his image as a survival instinct. I doubt he could let loose and look like an idiot even if he wanted to. Which he probably pathologically doesn’t. That said I don’t care that he didn’t want to put on the ugly hat.

I'd watch Inside the MLB if they got someone who is charismatic on the mic and a details nerd and paired them with Shaq to have Shaq fill the everyman who doesn't know 150 years of baseball trivia and strategy roll.

While I do think it’s just not terribly well fitting for baseball. I think halftime is key to making people watch band trying to find something entertaining enough that they don’t turn it off. But also it doesn’t help that they’re trying things like KayRod cast as their solutions.

MLB Network has CC Sabathia do a Manningcast a couple of times a year but they pair him with boring in-house guys like Chris Young and Yonder Alonso.
