He sucks, but I would rather they keep him that Jay Williams.

I know Reddick knows his shite, but I just never liked players from Duke.

But SAS don't really race bait. He might have in the past? On his podcast he is pretty middle of the road. He talks about every time he sees how much he pays in taxes he starts looking for a place in Florida. He is actually pretty funny IMO.

he occasionally takes "that side" but i don't think it would be fair to say he's a race baiter. i was making fun of you earlier in the thread but im not an SAS hater.

Max might be the biggest loser in the biz. Can't stand that guy.

ESPN was the best station on television before the Disney purchase. It was never the same since. 
It's true.

Why does Disney love destroying things so much?

The first wave of cuts, which includes not filling some open positions, hit Disney last month. This second wave will affect an unknown number of ESPN employees this week. A third wave of cuts will occur in the summer; those also will involve ESPN workers. Layoffs will hit ESPN’s on-air talent after those summer cuts.


That is smart cut the over priced on air talent last while cutting the grunt labor first that keeps the sports flowing to ESPN.

tLads of the espn fc crew better be left alone. It’s the only sports show left I watch on espn. They’re also probably paid peanuts compared to other shows so hopefully that bodes well for them.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Sam Ponder and Sage Steele let go after publicly standing with Riley Gaines on the men in women's sports issue.
Agree on Ponder but Sage has a little extra something protecting her. (As long as she doesn't go all Don Lemon.)

ETA: They need to put Sarah Spain out on her hypocritical arse before anyone else. For those who don't know, she's big on their ESPNW feminazi crap despite having turned herself into a quasi call girl for a Super Bowl ticket ( See #1).

I wish they still did sports center like they used to do it. And they would have it on a loop every morning for like 5 hours straight.
No need for that now. There's a correlation between when DVRs became the standard and the end of SC loops.

This not a political stance or me trying to boycott ESPN, but I have not watched a non-sporting event on that channel in probably 3-5 years. I fly a lot for work and I’ll occasionally cross over it for a few seconds. It’s just terrible programming. People arguing about the most inane points in sports.

This. Every hour of the morning and early afternoon is a different set of talking heads arguing the same points.

Sage has a lawsuit pending against Disney. She's not going anywhere for a while.
