Oh, and regarding Skip Bayless...

I think that's because they have limited content because it's the NFL only

That said, I expect that to expand somewhat, at least with talent and new segments, once they move into Stan's $2.4 billion dollar palace.

Yeah, it's possible, although I watch those games with the sound off, as I do most NFL games.

Verne is certainly a great broadcast but he and Nessler are 1a and 1b, IMO.

Nessler's that good, IMO.

I've always wondered if Skip Bayless literally believes some of the stuff that has come out of his mouth and/or he has written, or if it is just a "shtick" that he pulls off. Or both...if he just kind of embellishes his actual thoughts to create a shtick. Whatever the case, I've caught some laughs from watching he and Stephen A. bicker with each other about things like...Tebow. It's been funny, IMO...and funnier yet, is the reaction(s) they get from people who watch them. I've seen a ton of people get their panties in a wad while watching Bayless be Bayless...and it's been funny as hell.

I've always been a huge Ian Eagle fan...would love to see him get a big time gig ala MNF or the CBS SEC games....

It's an act lol the man has been a sports journalist since like the 70s.. He knows what he's doing

I really enjoyed Gus Johnson when he was on CBS but since he's moved to Fox, he's been invisible.

ESPN will be fine.

They keep hiring big boobs and hot bodies. They know What's up.

It's schtick.

Unfortunately being controversial and acting a buffoon makes you money. He knows what he's doing

Yet boomer and tom Jackson live.
I wouldn't shed a tear if ESPN bit it and just went away.

You obviously don't know what I meant in the first place.
There's like only a few media companies/sources as opposed to like 50 forty years ago. Everyone's under the same umbrella.
He didn't leave because of some negative problem. The wealthy just move pieces around.
People keep saying he sucks but no network is throwing him to the street. So he must be doing what he is told pretty well.

Go smoke more of that weed that makes you so smart

Skip Bayless' schtick was sooooooooooo ****ing annoying. I had a lot of respect for Stephen A until he went to first take. Now he is just a more articulate Bayless. Hopefully that model goes and gets fisted.

Trico is good. I enjoy his commentary when he is a guest on radio a lot. Like an awful lot.

Pretty much all ESPN has for talent I Care what they have to say is Russillo. I like SVP most of the time, but I rarely catch him and there is only so much you can do with the sports center model.

LeBatard has some decent take if he's not too busy being reeruned in an effort to "not take himself too seriously."

ESPN sucks.

Gus Johnson is one of my favorite announcers, but FOX has totally misused him.
