Tomorrow all the racist rear end Boston sports media people are gonna have to walk back their criticisms of Cam Newton and it's gonna be funny as gently caress. Weei should just go off the air for a week.

Patriots Lose: Cam's a lazy, stupid [insert hot new dogwhistle phrase]
Patriots Win: Bellichek's such a genius that he can even make Cam useful

what the hell is wrong with ESPN

why do they hate their highly rated show that has a diverse cast/guest lineup and takes all the correct stances on social issues?

It's only an hour. 3 hours is a long time to fill and I think we'll get a better, leaner show out of it. It'll be fine.

because none of them either played in the NFL or WNBA, or sit in the same studio as Stephen A. Smith for four hours every morning

I never finish my LeBatard podcast and think to myself, "I wish I had less of this"

also, don't overlook the part where the ESPN execs are considering removing the show completely

Maybe it's changed in the last few weeks but I've always been under the impression taking any stance on social issues is a liability at ESPN. I think it was last week either mike or Dan said something about the numbers consistently say that listeners don't want social commentary, they just want the circus clowns.

But my god more Mike Greenberg is just what I needed in my life

I mean none of us want them to take an hour off but if any show will be fine it would be this one.

The other stuff is just rumor fear mongering.

This is the best part, there won't be sports for another who knows how long so let's cut an hour from the one show that can actually get by without sports topics.

Dunno, I just remember they fired Schilling(?) not because he was a maga but because he couldn't stop giving his maga takes on air. It might be something as simple as the new President doesn't like Dan or Dan/Stu/whoever don't want to do a 3 hour show anymore or who the hell knows.

I agree it's a terrible choice. I can only assume people who prefer Greenberg are the same people who watch commercials for fun. Hopefully they keep it on as a 3+local hour podcast with only 2 airing nationally. Just seems tone deaf to replace a show that is an exemplar of diversity and difference and replacing it with two hours of "does x have what it takes to win the big one this year "

Russillo outed himself as a chud “for tax purposes” so he can gently caress off.

Also Bomani got a multi year extension. He remains the single best personality in sports media.

Gave it a listen and it seems like they’re not only pivoting to digital, but giving the LeBatard AF network more resources to do so.

Which is actually a shockingly good idea.

I already know that lack of self-awareness is the answer here but why can't Stugotz get an agent or someone else to manage negotiations? Also, why is he allowed to handle negotiations on anyone else's behalf knowing that he's so poo poo at this? We have at least two occasions (deep-sixing the Local Hour, winding up with a lower salary) where he and/or others wind up worse off whenever he tries to swing his dick around.

This shouldn't make me mad but I loved the Local Hour.

It sounded more like baseline Dan nerves though. And more nervous that Stugotz will join the show as John in Florida on a Carphone.

Lombardo call backs are always welcome. Hope they get him back on so he can bury them for dinner.

e: Just listened to the Masvidal interview from yesterday and they probably shouldn't have opened that door if they weren't going to provide more context/information. I hope they dont get too bogged down in it but giving him a platform to spew alt-right talking points with no push back is not ideal.
