ESPN: "Colin will no longer appear on ESPN."

[Silkk]

Everybody out the paint

 

[philmonroe]

bomani gonna talk about this since he isn't a coworker anymore

He did twice already you a bit late playboy

Wonder who going to take his place?

 

[Trip]

They got talent...you got His & Hers, Bomani, Max & Marcellus, Le Batard etc. I'm not a huge fan of any of those people but they need to elevate one of those shows into a bigger audience/prime time slot. Love him or hate him, Colin was a beast, ESPN will see that soon enough

Max is too risky and he's the only one listed there with any real talent...the his and hers, lebatard shows are all too scripted /manufactured

Go to the 0:30 mark.

was it on the right time or evening jones

 

[calh45]

He clearly wanted some vacation time and ESPN took the bait

This is true, but he could've hit on any number of topics that would've gotten him the hook.

- Goodell
- ESPN suits
- Could've brought Billy Simmons on as a guest host

 

[Frump]

He'll be back on espn in a year like all the others who leave and realize the audience is MUCH smaller in other places

now they care....when dude is already leaving

they threw him under the bus tho, rarely does ESPN have its commentators go in on another employee's comments, they've been going in on colin all day, having him go out on a "racist" note...ESPN can have several seats for that, especially as others have stated, they never said anything about his other comments

Max is too risky and he's the only one listed there with any real talent...the his and hers, lebatard shows are all too scripted /manufactured

Then they're in even more trouble then they realize...that 10-1 time slot is critical, I can't imagine what they'll do if none of those candidates are a viable option to plug into that time

ESPN wants to come off as risky but the second someone slightly might cross the line you're potentially fired...whey would anyone with any self respect want to take that on. ESPN is the worst...

Lebatard is a wannabe shock jock who's not nearly as funny as he thinks he is

his show sucks and its wayyy to ESPN'y

they extended rusillo, but there is still no direction for that show and colin gone, they have a A LOT of work to do to their radio lineup

Then ESPN is destined to become a network of Mike & Mikes...cornball personalities who don't have strong opinions.

I don't watch First Take but with all the backlash against that show, I wonder if Skip or Stephen A would be candidates to do radio. They need somebody with star power in that time

The espn show. I would've said if it was the evening jones and I don't think of that as a radio show but strictly a podcast.
