RyanC883 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Sage was good. Loss for ESPN to remove her from that show. And she is not the only ESPN person making political comments. They all do it, and it's annoying. Unless it's sports related (kneeling during the Anthem) I prefer to get my political news from news channels. I watch sports to relax. Yes, sometimes they intersect, but not that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced by Michelle Beadle, who increasingly looks like a person who hates her job. Yea that job typically goes to a model-type with a sleek look like Steele and the jowly Beadle probably tires of the hours of makeup prep to look like somebody she's not.......which kinda' undermines her "one-of-the guys" shtick.

Jauronimo Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 matthew had ex-wife and ex-girlfriend troubles michele was likely advised to move on That's speculation. What we do know is that Barnaby hates garage doors, thinks driving on the right is completely arbitrary, and believes three wheeled performance vehicles are the future of automotive engineering.

BuffBillsForLife Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I can't believe Disney is still keeping ESPN around. It's been hemorrhaging money for years. It really just needs to be nothing but actual sports broadcasts and sportscenter. Y'know, the two things people actually turn to ESPN to see.

VirginiaMike Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think Sage was good at her job and knows sports. That said, when you work for someone and represent them, you have to toe the company line, or at least not slap it in the face. I've never been a big Michelle Beadle fan as I think he tries to cover up her lack of knowledge by making strange, unrelated comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really just needs to be nothing but actual sports broadcasts and sportscenter. Y'know, the two things people actually turn to ESPN to see. You do realize that "actual sports broadcasts" are what is making ESPN hemorrhage money, don't you? Broadcasting rights contracts have killed it ESPN, they have way overpaid and they over-saturated the market. Sports on tv used to be special, now it's every single night on 7 different channels. Should have kept it simple like the 90s: 12 am - 2am: 30 min - 1 hour shows focused on sports that are currently active - ex. baseball tonight, nhl tonight, nba tonight, etc. 2am - 12pm: SportsCenter. Record the 2am SC and replay it over and over again with pretty much all highlights of the day. Get rid of all the crap commentary, contributors and extra junk. Show me highlights, some interviews, top 10 plays, etc. 12pm - 4pm: Random recorded sports. Think world strongest man, ping pong, darts, curling, whatever. 4pm - 6pm: Various talk shows: PTI, Around the Horn, Up Close (remember when they actually did 30 min interviews with athletes). This is all the talk show crap this station needs. 6pm - 7pm: SportsCenter. Not this SC6 crap that is absolutely unwatchable. Best highlights from day before, news of the day (the business sides of sports really), and setting stage for biggest games of the night. 7pm - 11pm: Live sports (not same sport every single night...see College BB season and FB season currently - 2-3 nights per week max of same sport). Original programming (30 for 30 for example - this used to be every Tuesday and a lot of Fridays) etc. If this was the schedule again, I know I would be watching a whole lot more. Instead, I get my sports fix from MLB Network, NFL Network, live games, and the internet. Edited April 5, 2017 by Mark80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they asked Wade Phillips if he eats bbq sauce on his spaghetti or some crap. Lebatard show is the goat sports show What they said was Wade Phillips looks like a guy on the label of BBQ sauce. Also Roy Williams looks like a judge at the Westminster dog show who is giving the ribbon to a cocker spaniel handled by Brad Stevens Russel Wilson looks like a dolphin trainer at SeaWorld Anyone who expresses remotely conservative opinions on ESPN gets canned while the left wing looney bins can say whatever they like.

No, ESPN still makes huge money, tops of all cable networks, but it's headed the wrong way. it's hemorrhaging paying subscribers, which will eventually catch up with them. as soon as they turned ESPN Mag into HuffPo, The Magazine, i lost all interest and stopped my insider sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
