I find it tough to believe that nobody here watches her and yet knows all of her crazy shite that she spouts off

I've never seen SC6 or her last show with Michael Smith, but I'm sure most of us saw at least one of her columns or commentaries on The Sports Reporters over the years. Many of her opinions were politicized, which can wear an audience out.

She's been at ESPN for over a decade, so her recent rise likely feels forced on a lot people. Had she always been a talented star in the making, you'd think she would've been featured more prominently early on.

Wait, what's the word on Bucci?

He's easily my favorite ESPN guy. Read conflicting reports.

Not laid off...some believe he will walk once his contract is up, which is sometime this year.

Geez.

He's old school sports guy. Fox would be wise to toss him some real cheddar. People love him and he gives awesome interviews.

Funny as shite too.

The #espnlayoffs hashtag is entertaining.

Like I said earlier, she's a provocateur that that's why she's featured prominently. Her talent is getting under people's skin. They did it with Skip and before him Jim Rome. I'm sure they're others I'm forgetting.

Only difference is with SAS, Max Kellerman, and Skip, they're acting to an extent. I believe Jemele Hill is just being herself. She's just a disagreeable, angry person.

I'm sure ESPN will now make SC6 a three hour program. We need more Michael Smith/Jemele Hill and hearing about how swag someone's shoes were during a playoff basketball game.
