Skip Bayless leaving ESPN for NBC...
It's a good thing in my opinion. He had way too much face-time on ESPN for his stupidity.

NBC just got worse. Whatever will Steven A Smith do now?

Tirico's leaving ESPN for NBC as well.
This is mostly about the Olympics but it's also about the NFL on Thursday & Sunday nights, along with continued growth of NBC Sports Channels. |

Cowherd, Tirico, Bayless
A lot of their best money makers leaving. Seems like all they have left is SVP

Tirico is stellar and a good catch for NBC. Bayless is the stuff you fear mowing when it's soft and wet.

I love seeing the NBC and Fox Sports networks growing. ESPN has WAY too much control of the sports media. It's where the clueless fans go to get their dose of Kool-aid for the day.

Brad Nessler is apparently leaving ABC/ESPN for CBS to call NFL games and eventually replace Verne Lundquist on the SEC Football games.

I have no clue who ESPN's going to use for Monday Night now. They might have to start over with somebody completely new

It does seem like the NFL Network follows the same model as ESPN - beating topics to death and talking-head blowhards arguing.

IMO, there has been no one better than Verne Lundquist calling a college football game, or any other sporting event. He's unassuming, humble and gets out of the way of the game.
