MourningView posted:I like to dream that the Steinbrenners will snap and let John Sterling run the team if he agrees to a low enough salary John Sterling is hot garbage for the most part, but Artie Lange had a great story about him on his last stand up CD. Artie was down on the field at Yankee Stadium doing some segment for "The Best drat Sports Show" and Sterling asked him how he got down there. Artie told him "I won a Suzyn Waldman lookalike contest." Sterling fired right back with "Well there is a resemblance!"

quote:Cowherd has been popping up on ESPN’s Mike & Mike radio show frequently – the rumor is M&M ratings have sagged, and the suits would like the show to have stronger opinions, something I discussed with one of the hosts on a podcast – and last week ESPN announced Cowherd will be part of College Football Live Tuesdays with Kirk Herbstreit. Ah so they want the show to be more jam-packed with those two idiots yelling over eachother (I assume "stronger" is codeword for "louder"). Revolutionary!

Jim Rome's show is much more bearable than Cowherd but the problem is he uses so many inside jokes and references that it's hard to follow sometimes. Apparently not knowing who "Eddie from SoCal" is really puts a damper on things. He definitely does have great interview skills though, as others have pointed out. I assume Cowherd never apologized for his completely lovely (and wrong) take on Sean Taylor's death either? haljordan fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Jul 3, 2013 |

morestuff posted:From what I understand, the vast, vast majority of their money comes from the subscription fees. I'm sure declining ratings hurt, but as long as they have a bunch of exclusive content they can strong-arm the cable companies into the fees. I think the current amount ESPN gets for every person who can receive their channel is $4.69. That is worlds beyond any other network/channel.

Why is baseball the sport where, much more than the others, the people voting for Hall of Famers want more attention than the actual athletes? The amount of self-serving lazy articles that get spewed out every year is so incredibly awful.

Without looking them up, is that Gehrig/Ripken consecutive game streaks, the home run records from Bonds, Ruth and Aaron and the football ones are consecutive games started (Favre) and touchdown passes (Favre again?)?

Remember the year they ran the Masters with no ads at all as a very mature "gently caress You" to the groups protesting the tournament because at that time they didn't admit women?

It's even more depressing when you find out 2 or 3 editors at the paper also read that column and not one of them said "Holy gently caress, we need to burn this poo poo and forget it ever existed."
