I think I read the favorite is sean mcdonough, which I object to only because I think he's the best football play by play guy currently working anywhere and I'd much rather have him calling college games. Beyond that I have a hard time believing it's a change that is going to upset that many people.

Gruden is the star of the MNF booth anyway, even though his appeal is completely lost on me.

He is wacky and being a former coach has just enough knowledge to trick you into thinking what he says has any meaning. It's not hard.

Anytime anything fails people will rush to say that it's the fault of thing they personally disagree with.

Although they don't really talk politics much, if ever, the politics of guys like Bomani, LeBatard, and Kanell are pretty easy to guess if you listened to their shows for more than 15 minutes. I think it's pretty clearly a case of correlation not causation, but two of those guys are sticking around and one is not, so the politics argument is not completely unsubstantiated.

It's unsubstantiated if your proof is two random guys Vs cherry picking one dude out of 80

Some guy went on a shooting spree during a madden tournament that was streaming.

Apparently you get to see the moment right before someone dies. Like the stream cuts out the second before he is shot.

I think for a lot of ESPN execs the radio shows should just be there to promote ESPN-related content and generate the occasional talking point for the TV shows to pick up on (Mort said X player isn't in his top 5!?). The ideal version of that is Mike/Wingo and Mike/Golic which is basically a 3 hour infomercial selling you ESPN. Obviously the Lebatard Show does not always (or regularly) mesh with this prerogative (which is precisely why it's good).

I mean I don’t see why it has to be Greenberg in particular but Mike & Mike had a clear hook player and none player contrasting each other

I don’t know if that’s still relevant all these years later

What was the racist belief espoused? It seems she was expressing frustration with and questioning the motivations of her bosses, not with her coworkers. The idea that ESPN management might do dumb things doesn’t seem inherently racist or especially controversial.

But she never seems to think her eventual success isn’t the result of the same process. Her hard work just got her there despite not thinking highly of the higher ups
