I like SVP but don't even watch sportscenter when he hosts. He was fun with Rusillo but it is hard to get excited about a 25 year old format with a perpetual shock and awe trash approach to sports.

Time was I remember SVP disliking the Cowherd style approach (to manufacturing controversy in sports media). Now SVP finds himself near the top of the media conglomerate which does this as their business model.


Huh? SVP isn't manufacturing drama. Unless he has some ESPN podcast I haven't listened to. His Monday night Sportcenter is the only one worth listening to and has no shock value to it. It's just a casual take on it, nothing like Cowherd.

I didn't say that he does. But the ESPN coverage is essentially exactly that. It is something like having a serious newsprint journalist (if those still exist) hosting a WWE event
