The good part - Todd McShat is fired too.
"That's embarrassing.  Looks like Josh Duggar the first time his parents asked him to babysit."

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

I bet they think Kendrick Perkins is a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

Barton Fink

Probably kept him to prevent Jalen Rose from filing a lawsuit.

I would have fired Chris fucking Berman if he only made $1 a year.

Oh good that will make room for more Monica McNutt

"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it

He said Jokic was only getting MVP votes over Embid because he was white. Naturally, he's a keeper. They still like the race-baiting.
I really don't care, Margaret.

Somehow Beth Mowins has a job.

Every online college football community I've ever come across has detested her voice. That's as polite as I can say that.

Must be a minority thing or she kills it in a girls sport or something.

Here's Kendrick Perkins calling out all the crackers as undeserving, Nash, Dirk, Jokic, JJ Reddick, etc. Stephen A. is present of course.

Nash, Dirk, Jokic...JJ Reddick?

I haven't watched anything outside of live sports and maybe a few documentaries on ESPN in years.

I only watch ESPN for live sports. Haven't casually watched in decades. A couple of years ago, I turned on the television and it was still on ESPN from the previous night. They were showing the ESPN 40th Anniversary Special. I thought "Oh, wow neat". Among their top moments on ESPN from the past 40 years was first woman basketball player dunks, first openly gay player drafted to NFL, man with no legs wins NCAA wrestling match. I giggled and turned it off. I admit there is a little schadenfreude seeing the entertainment industry crash and burn.

Me either, except when I'm on the elliptical at the gym, it's forced on me, kind of like CNN at the airport. The Kendrick Perkins racist rant attached in my link was forced on me weeks ago. Man, he hates white people.

And they kept Des Howard perhaps the most stupid motherfucker to ever be on a TV in any universe.

Not sure if SEC network employees are technically ESPN employees, but I wouldn't mind seeing Pollack end up at SEC network.

From the time I was in college until now, on Saturday, you turn on ESPN Gameday and don't touch the remote until 11am. This past fall, I found myself turning over to SEC version of gameday more and more.

Whoa, slow your roll, there are several just at ESPN that would give him a run for his money, let along all of TV.  Most of them have sub-Lee Corso Intelligence, after his 50th stroke.

The only way I can watch it is to tape it. That way I can fast forward through all the WNBA, woke narrative, and political BS. I just watch highlights from NCAA FB/BB, NFL, & MLB. I get through an hour sportcenter in 10-15 minutes.
irritatingly incompetent & infuriatingly unhelpful
