hondo in seattle Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Sports media is going the way of politics, transitioning from reasonable commentary and rational debate to partisan ranting and outrageous sensationalizing... Jamie Horowitz, the president of Fox Sports National Networks, toldMichael McCarthy of Sporting News in March that he was interested in bringing a personality like Bayless into the Fox family: I look at these "opinionists" like superstars in the NBA. You can probably name the dozen superstars who are out there. It's like asking the (Boston) Celtics, "Are you interested in Kevin Durant?" Yes, we're interested in all the superstars. Of course, I'm interested in Skip. I'm interested in Stephen A. and Michael (Smith) and Jemele [Hill] and (Tony) Kornheiser and (Michael) Wilbon. Just like ESPN and Fox were both interested in Colin [Cowherd]. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2635852-skip-bayless-to-leave-espn-latest-details-comments-and-reaction?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial Edited April 27, 2016 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm not a Tirico guy either, I read an article saying this move sets him up for a possible Super Bowl and Olympic appearance. That's crazy. I can think of about 10 guys if rather have calling the game. Tirico blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 @sportswatch NBC is making a major talent announcement at 2 p.m., presumably Mike Tirico. ESPN is making one at 3 p.m., presumably Sean McDonough to MNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Solid choice for MNF. @richarddeitsch ESPN has called a conference call at 3PM with its Monday Night Football execs. Sean McDonough officially gets the Tirico gig today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 @jasonrmcintyre ESPN NFL bombshell. Goodbye Ray Lewis & Cris Carter. Replaced by ... http://thebiglead.com/2016/05/09/major-upheaval-continues-on-espn-nfl-coverage-cris-carter-ray-lewis-out-randy-moss-in/ Hey good for Moss. Carter was too full of himself all the time and Lewis is a mushmouth who rarely can provide cogent analysis. I thought Dilfer was pretty good explaining the QB game. Hasselback must be a lot cheaper.
