ESPN adds Desus & Mero to NBA coverage

[Kitsch]

The brand is strong.

This is cool, but I don't want to hear them all censored tho. They get buck on Viceland.

Added their first video with ESPN to OP

This. I'm definitely happy for them. This means more exposure and more money, so salute to that. But there's no way they can be even half of what they are on the podcast or Vice, and that's just based on general policy for cable, let alone the way ESPN runs things. From their appearances on late night shows like Fallon's I know they can be PG-13 and still be hilarious though.

Part of being affiliated with ESPN means you can't talk all that wild shyt elsewhere. They better not leave Viceland.

ESPN and Vice are content partners y'all, i doubt this is a situation where they would leave Vice for ESPN or any of that. They just probably gonna do some funny videos about whats going on in the NBA. Its not like they getting a full show

We will know whats up if they change their Viceland shows name to 'The 11'.

Mixed feelings. Part of what makes them great is their unfiltered opinions. We all know how ESPN feels about that. Hope they won’t completely nueter them and now they gotta watch what they say on their other platforms

Exactly.

I'm afraid one of them will get a "nikka wake up call" real soon fukking with ESPN.

Word to Jamelle.

 

[Monoblock]

I'm happy for them but I'm not sure about this . You see how little tolerance they have for black talent. Hopefully this is more of a partnership and not them fully signing on.

Their spot is supposed to be jokey, so there's nothing stopping Mero from saying Michael Beasley is Melo from the left or even calling out a Bill Simmons I bet. They just won't be cursing and shyt like that
