Wouldn't doubt if he ends up at MLB covering the Cardinals again.

some of the writers will be swooped up by nfl.com/mlb.com/etc

I am interested in how much of ESPN's daytime viewership is from active watching vs. areas where ESPN is just on in the background (restaurants, waiting rooms, etc.).

Bob Ryan needs to go so he can find time to go to a dentist. How someone can let their teeth get that bad is crazy

You can bet your arse that him and Jemele Hill will not be on the list. Last thing ESPN wants is a discrimination lawsuit.

I don't hate LeBatard the sports guy; I hate LeBatard the hot take social commentary guy. But that's what people want on sports shows now, I suppose... or not. The more ESPN caters to it, the worse their ratings get.

actually like Lebatard in the offseason, it can be an entertaining show. Now when he goes into SJW mode? I can't listen. I think that's because he's lazy and knows he can rely on the kaep stuff to get him through most of the show.


Agreed on the social stuff. He is big with confirmation bias and refuses to listen to opposing sides.

But their show in general is the best thing on ESPN right now.

It's probably a top 3 background viewing channel but, at least in my day, it got a lot of daytime viewing among the college crowd.

And with people that had TVs in their offices or on their desks.

I can't handle Lebatard all week. The "Stugotz the moron" act gets old if you attempt to watch it daily.

Wtf happened to him? When he first got the job, it was a good show and he did really good interviews. Now he patronizes everyone and comes across as a fricking cuck with every topic he screams about... and 50% of the time, he's wrong.

Maybe, but no more boring than mundane sports talk about manufactured topics because there's nothing else to talk about IMO.
