Yeah a true pro like Stan probably not overly valued by that channel at this point.

Which is ironic because most people would probably prefer to watch old school Sports Center like it was in the Stuart Scott days over Stephen A and [insert random cohost here] screaming about LeBron’s legacy for the 900th time.
I’m in this camp. I freaking loved watching Sportscenter until maybe 10-12 years ago. Then ESPN went all in on shitty personalities and crowded out SC with terrible panel shows. It became a WWE version of sports opinion talk.

Because he does, this isn't a secret.

What a freaking shame. Hopefully he comes home and does something locally. FYI The following all should be canned at ESPN : Ryan Clark, Stephen A , Perk, Windy and McNutt. WNBA will be crammed down our throats til Pre-Season NFL.

Yep. Pretty sure that he flies in for every Saints home game.
I shook his hand a few years ago outside the Superdome before a Saints game. He seemed very personable.

They were one of the duos ESPN had. I love them together.

You missed the prime sportscaster by about 20 years. Mid 90’s the anchors were great. Dan Patrick, Olberman was good before he went crazy, Craig Killborn and um sure I’m forgetting a bunch. It’s been all downhill since then. I’ll bet Dan Patrick thanks his lucky stars every day he bailed on that sinking ship long ago.

Yeah, I’m sure that lineup was fun. (Born in 92) Had no idea Kilborn did SC before The Daily Show.
