They have said that they want to stick to sports and leave the politics alone. That didn't last long. I know nothing about Max Kellerman, but I doubt that he has the cred to rip into Tiger. Tiger's comments "made him angry". Poor boy must be easily triggered.

ESPN is dying a slow death. They don't even care anymore.

If your job is talking about sports, you are either an over-the hill ex-player with no life, or a young hump with no talent.

Players play.
Fans watch.
Assholes cover.

What about those who watch as the "assholes cover"?

Looks like Michelle Beadle got removed from a talk show and will cover NBA, and Jemele Hill will leave the network. Wonder if they are going to do anything with liberal blowhards Dan LeBatard and Bomani Jones, those two clowns can't make two minutes into their radio time slots with out bringing up politics.


What I never understood is how anyone can listen to screaming idiots like Max Kellerman, Skip Bayless, and Stephen A. Smith.


I remember there was a show when I lived in So Cal on San Diego's 690 A.M. I used to listen to in the 90's (The station where Jim Rome became famous). One of the segments had Steve Hartman and two other guys that basically tried to yell over each other for most of the 3 hours of their segment. It strangely got high ratings, something I definitely don't understand.

Volume control.
I turn it down and listen to replays of Steve Byk during the games.
Who can stomach the constant mindless drivel of those idiots in the booths?

When I was a kid, they had one guy doing play by play and we got along fine. Nowadays, it take 4 people on the set to equal the IQ of one normal person.
