Many people I can think of that need to go before him. Pollack was actually good.

Good riddance, Van Gundy. Now you can slobber on Laker dick from the comfort of your own home.

They've let go of some decent people just to bring in great personalities like Pat McAfee.

With ESPN At Crossroads, Here Are Three Predictions


No. 1: Doris Burke Succeeds Van Gundy

ESPN likes to think of itself as a progressive, cutting-edge company. They could make sports TV history by naming Burke the first female analyst to call the NBA Finals with the returning duo of Mike Breen and Mark Jackson.


quote:

No. 2: Mina Kimes succeeds Kolber on “Monday Night Countdown.”

With her contract expiring soon, Kimes will be pursued by Dan Le Batard’s Meadowlark Media and Bill Simmons’ The Ringer.

Handing her the keys to “Monday Night Countdown” could seal a new long-term deal with ESPN – especially with the network’s first two Super Bowls on the horizon.


quote:

No. 3: Shannon Sharpe Joins ESPN.

Skip Bayless’ former debate partner has been quiet since leaving FS1’s “Undisputed.” 

After losing Pat McAfee to ESPN, FanDuel has engaged in early talks with Sharpe. And the sports betting giant has money to burn after writing McAfee’s $30 million a year contract off the books. 

But here’s why Sharpe moving to ESPN makes more sense.

He loves the spotlight. The three-time Super Bowl winner could play an outsized role as Young’s successor on “Monday Night Countdown.”

Wow

Mina
Doris
Shannon

Doris isn't horrible but forcing her on the main NBA spot is a joke. The other 2 are laughable.

Doris is good but not any better than JVG.

The other two aren't worth a damn.

Glad to see that Freddie Coleman hasn't been let go... I listen to him every night. Very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to.

What’s wrong with Mina? She’s been very good the few times I’ve watched and listened to her on ESPN.

Bring back Jemele and let her fire off racism accusations with machine gun quickness.

I guess I’m the only person that can’t stand Van Gundy?

To be fair, I also think Mark Jackson is terrible.


I’m surprised they got rid of Jalen Rose though.
