Kannel Bayless LeBetard and Cowherd all should not be allowed to speak publicly about anything ever in any just world so I'd say all 4 of them.

"Numbers Never Lie" is so awful. ESPN attempted to do something semi-different and then just said "frick it. Let's just have them debate the same topics every other show on the network does and throw in a stat or 2 at the end of each topic."

Jemele Hill's close but Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser are tools. So I'd have to go with them.

I do like Simmons and S.A.S. in doses. Best personalities I can think off hand are Scott Van Pelt and Jalen Rose because they're not blowhards.

Bayless is the most disappointing. He was once a great columnist and even early on in his ESPN days, he was well-minded and brought strong opinions. Now he's a character.


Bayless actually still writes good columns now and then on ESPN.com.

too tough to choose from, but I'm really far removed from watching ESPN so I'm sure they've added/dropped since I stopped watching

Ryan Russillo is up there...unbelievably bad radio

Tirico. He has a history of being a serial sexual harrasser, this according to the book "Inside ESPN". But #2, J.Hill. She was actually surprised when Greenie called her "the controversial JH". Anything to do with race & she's all over whitie.

Anyone listening to SVP right now. Danny Kanell's making a run for the most annoying.

I actually like him a lot. Sits up straight, great on-camera charisma, and he knows his stuff.

I don't like Jemele Hill and Merrill Hodge. Hodge is just too angry all the time.

ETA: Isn't McElroy on the SEC Network?

Russillo is awful.

His voice is monotonous (doesn't sound like a broadcaster), he talks about boring things in a boring way and he makes me want to rake out my eyeballs. Haven't heard his show in years but that's my opinion

Not to say I like "personality" broadcasters or morning zoo motherfrickers, but Russillo can put someone to sleep at a whorehouse

it is amazing how a just a little trolling can get you further along in life. But I guess that's easy to do when you have a popular sports radio show in Alabama mainly focusing on college football.

He used to be a writer for the newspaper before he did his radio show I think.

He struck gold because of Harvey Updyke. Go fricking figure.

He gives good interviews but he hardly has to try with his callers because 80% of them start their happy hour at 2pm.

Unless Van Pelt and Rusillo are together, ESPN is useless to me

I can't believe Doug Gottlieb only got one vote in this entire thread. What an annoying twerp.

But still not as bad as Jamelle Hill.

tough to give a shite about his columns since he is still pushing this horesehit idea that Kobe's rape charges gave the street cred needed to sell shoes.

if Max Kellerman can get suspended for admitting he once hit his wife way back in college when they were still dating Bayless sure as shite should get a vacation for basically saying rape = street cred for Kobe = shoe sales like he did today.

you do know he doesn't work for ESPN any more right? He is with CBS sports so he can talk about College Basketball all the time.
