When Dan WASN'T talking about his lunatic politics, his show was the best. Hilarious and fun, and makes fun of how serious people takes sports. That was great stuff.

He just went off the rails too often, and now that he's on his own, I would be willing to bet Politics will take up at last 25-40% of the show. There will be no one to tell him No.

It was a quirky show and I enjoyed it in small doses. For some reason, with LeBatard, I could separate out politics for the most part.

Every once in a while on long drives, I will see how much Undisputed/Cowherd/Nick Wright type shows I can handle. I can usually last about two hours.

I'm too old for Barstool. I enjoy the gambling shows a little, but the content is mostly people talking about inner Barstool issues. I just don't get it.

Chris Mad Dog Russo is borderline insane, but I enjoy him because he is sort of the last of the throwback sports media guys who were real journalist types.

I think we are going to have a Lebatard Show with the crew that is largely the same

I think we are then going to have a dan show where he does his own stuff where he will largely go off the rails whether that's a podcast or some other outlet

The show was awesome from when he got to ESPN to 2016. After George Floyd it has been pretty hard to listen. The main problem isn't that it got political, it's that his political takes are terrible.

The heights of his show were the looks like game, and Stugotz making reservations at resturants.

If Dan has his own little media world, and he has a Lebatard show that is 100% politics free and is fun, I will listen.

He SHOULD do that and also have his own politics sportscast where he gets it out of his system so I can just not listen to that

This literally has made my day the last 2 days I've been on here when I see this headline. ESPN is slowly losing the trash. Bomani Jones and Max Kellerman you up next my men!

Do you have any other directives for dan that I can pass on to him? I'm sure he's eagerly awaiting your guidance.
