So your contention is that 30 for 30 is driving viewers to their sports broadcasts?
Yeah, going to have to see the data on that one.
And Sportscaster has two things going for it: It's cheap and can be played multiple times daily. That's pretty much the point of it.
There are 30 for 30 threads? That's great! But that's not the issue when deciding whether to pay someone 6 million a year.

Favorite Simmons Moment
After Cavs won their 3rd of the last 4 lotteries.

If all you care about are live sports and hate any type of sports personality or commentary then fine. I admire your dedication.
But as far as that sort of thing goes, Simmons and Friends were so much better than almost everyone else at ESPN it wasn't even funny. SVP and Russilo are solid, a couple of the college football guys.
Bayless, Stephen A, Cowherd, Mike and Mike, Michelle Beadle, Kellerman, Marcellus Wiley, Wilbon, Lebatard, Bomani Jones, Jemele Hill. Every single ex NFL player they hire as a football guy. I mean Jesus who wants to watch Wendi Nix ask NFL players cliched questions and received cliched answers for an hour every day? They all cater to the lowest common denominator. It's atrocious. Say what you want about Simmons, but at least he's not unoriginal

No, my contention is they drive a higher tax bracket of viewers, and they are able to sell higher end ad time instead of the stuff they sell during Sportscenter.
