Doug Collins needs to be doing games tho...not just studio.

Can we get Chris Mullin the fukk outta the broadcast booth and off of SportsCenter though?

Magic is a billionaire with amazing connections. Not what you know, it's who you know.

And it's Magic. He's in the circle.

I know, right? This is a great hire for their studio crew. I'm kind of old fashion and still think of Doug as a TNT, NBC guy doing color commentating for games, having him in studio for ESPN doesn't quite seem right reading it but I'm sure it will make sense when it airs, though.

I see nothing wrong with this. You guys will never be happy. You each need your own pregame and halftime shows with the people you like to make you happy
