Who's higher on their own farts, Skip Bayless, Colin Cowherd, or Jay Gruden?

I gotta say the odds that's Skip himself as opposed to some FS1 staffer who hosed up accounts seems kinda low yes, i'm a killjoy

I suppose if you're going to test someone out in a new role, say, going from studio analyst to color commentator, doing it for a weekday afternoon bowl game probably isn't the worst thing, but hoooo boy apparently Desmond Howard was a disaster in the booth for the Boca Raton bowl

But the most interesting thing about that article is that ESPN put Teddy Atlas in the booth for a college football game back on election night? I wish I'd watched that train wreck.

Yeah Teddy shows up every once in a while in a non-boxing role and it's great. I get the feeling he asks to do some random events every so often and they just give it to him because who's going to tell Teddy loving Atlas what he can and can't do?

Don't a lot of the NASCAR guys end up doing bowl stuff due to the number of broadcasts coinciding with the three weeks NASCAR is off? I swear that's gotta be the case but I'm not watching NASCAR to find out.

How many does ESPN have again? I know there's PTI and ATH, but both of those are well established and aren't big ego personalities.

If Mike Wilbon doesn't qualify as a big ego personality then no one does.

But him and Kornheiser have been working together for years before PTI instead of the bigwigs grabbing two people who are names in the sports world (Skip and Shannon, for example) and throwing them at each other.

I don't watch PTI anymore but Wilbon and Kornheiser at least had several decades of chemistry built up. FS1s are all a bunch of random NFL pre-game show castoffs. Chris Carter was very good at catching footballs but I don't even want to hear him talk about football much less, like, baseball or college basketball

That Cris Carter show is happening for sure barring last second disaster. Also they're way way way cheaper to make than almost any other type of show. It requires stage people and a much smaller support staff than most things.

Give them a desk and a couple video boards and you're all set.

It worked because of the chemistry and because they were first. It's also the downfall of modern civilization.

He was kinda Jim Rome esque though in mannerisms which can drive you crazy. Or at least he reminded of of Rome on the radio. Also has a penchant for arguing poo poo into the ground, which I suppose works out for another terrible debate show.

ESPN is experimenting with running NFL ads on a sort of split-screen while keeping in-stadium footage going. Last night they ran a Surface ad while showing the Cowboys' sideline, because #brand #synergy... and apparently never noticed that Sean Lee was getting coached up on plays through the old binder/photo method while the ad was talking about how great the Surface was for in-game coaching.

Yeah for racing it makes sense, and I think they (or maybe NBCSN) has fiddled with it for soccer, but it's not as if football doesn't have plenty of stoppages built into it. I'd be curious to see football broadcasts fiddle with the idea that you see in the NHL and... I think college basketball (the pros too? I'm not sure) where there are designated media timeouts at the first whistle past certain points on the clock.

CBB has it every four minutes. The NBA seems like it's almost random. They might just have it for national games.
