ESPN Cleaning House

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

I wish ESPN would move Stephen A. from First Take and put him in his proper place in MNF as the long-awaited spiritual successor to Howard Cosell.

Aikman makes for an adequate facsimile for Dandy Don, but Joe Buck will never be mistaken for Keith Jackson or even Al Michaels for that matter, but it'll be a loong while before anyone is Jackson or Michaels equal, so I guess it might as well be Buck

MNF deserves to be on broadcast tv (and should have been there for the last 16 years)

anyway, Stephen A. combined with Aikman might just be the thing MNF needs to return to former glory days

or maybe even better, Peyton Manning replace Aikman, and let Stephen A. square off with Manning

IMO Stephen A would be too big of a distraction, even worse than Dennis Miller’s forced big words and never ending stand up act. I can barely take his braggadocio and irrelevant comments on First Take, many times fast forwarding through them.
What’s with him questioning Molly’s knowledge of what’s going on inside his head because she never spends anytime with him beyond work? It was almost like he was complaining about them not being close…weird

Other than Get Up and First Take, what does ESPN air during the day?

They have PTI with Wilbon and Kornheiser, and Around the Horn with Tony... Reali, I believe? And its panel.

They also have afternoon radio programming.

I'm glad I don't just subscribe to Sirius for ESPN Radio. They've decimated my favorite shows the last couple of years.

Just leave Canty and Carlin alone.

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

I'm going to miss Max Kellerman. After he left First Take it went downhill.

Having been cable-less for the last few months I'm just hearing about the axing.

Didn't realize Max and Keyshawn both made around $5 million annually. (I guess officially Key is still making it??)

EDIT: As I'm reading more I guess neither have been totally fired.

I remember the days when he did Around The Horn...I still wonder why he was pushed off that.

That to me is the only positive of the show ending.

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

I always heard Max was too agreeable and Stephen A wanted a more argumentative adversary

I always felt like he just goes with what everyone else is feeling, and that's one of my biggest pet peeves. I never felt he was genuine.

Looks like Jeff Van Gundy and Jalen Rose are gone.

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

Damn they are letting go of Suzy Kolber too? Hope to see her on other broadcast, she's been at it for awhile

Re: ESPN Cleaning House

They will be a lot more changes to come at ESPN in the future as they are losing all kinds of money. They decided to mix politics with sport which turned off a lot of people when the majority of people just want to watch sports.

Lol they haven’t done this since they let go of Jemele/Michael Smith and that was years ago, so that’s not it.

Look up who their highest earners are. This was bound to happen(as it does every year if we’re being honest).
