Sports Media Discussion (RIP ESPN) - Page 454 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

listen, I can’t watch SAS for more than a few minutes before he starts to get under my skin....

but that there... OMGLOL. like, I know max has bona fides, but jesus “can you just go to commercial?” is eviscerating. that was great.

OMGLOLLLLLL

SAS is insufferable but Max takes the cake for just being a stupid ****ing moron. His “takes” are so ****ing dumb it’s amazing he’s still on TV. The guy clearly knows nothing outside of boxing and has merely failed upward in his career.

Let Porzingis go? For nothing? So he can be great SOMEWHERE ELSE????? Fire this ***** already ESPN.

Max probably takes no time to do homework or any analysis offline, so what you get is his immediate reaction and him trying to rationalize what he just said 5 seconds ago. Pure stream of consciousness stuff, sometimes good, many times not so good.

He's actually improved and calmed down over the years, but Skip is clearly the best and pissing people off

Skip was a hack riding the GOAT's coattails.

What a monumental miscalculation/self pwn. (I assume whatever Joe is paying her is <<<<<<<<<< whatever ESPN offered and she refused)

I had been wondering what happened to her. She had a real knack for pretending like the interviewee was saying something insightful.

He needs to get some advice from SOMEBODY.

The stock market is up like 900% under trump and he's running a platform with 200 billion users and they're hemorrhaging money. I don't understand why anyone still thinks these dip****s are like genius oracles.

Not that I like Jack Dorsey but TWTR stock has outperformed the overall market by a good amount since Trump was elected.

It’s a good point in the way that pointing out the sky is blue is a good point.

Dorsey is lol and it has nothing to do with stock performance so I suggest not using that as a barometer in the future.

Dorsey is in fact LOL and yes that has nothing to do with the stock price but the post I was replying to said

Simba interview with wsj. Wonder if he should get credit for riding the podcasts hard or just lucked out with the explosion of ears listening to them in the last 3 years.

Everyone here loled the ringers pageviews back in the day but for them to be where they are now with their podcast product I don’t see them going anywhere and I am glad that they exist.

Also there may be three people who listened to the ShackHouse pod but they landed a ****ing whale in the golf world by partnering with Geoff Shackelford and apparently just casted him away. Kind of sad- the idiotic casual fan House contrasted with the in deep expert Shackelford really worked well imo. M

Go through Shackelford’s tweets tonight if you’re thirsty for some twitter shade.

I still don't understand the point of leaking the info, is it some kind of big deal information? Seems irrelevant to me.

Quid pro pro

This happens a million times every day, they must have been looking for a reason to fire him.

Gave up on his regular podcast forever ago, but The Rewatchables podcast is fantastic.
