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

[Trip]

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

Stephen A and Skip are the ultimate company men...they do what they're told. It's a big reason why radio is dying....suits have taken over out of fear of pissing off their advertisers. Hopefully everyone with talent moves to satellite. I was never a Howard fan but he had the right idea.

radio now:

scripted segment pitting something vs something
commercial
athlete guest...boring as boring can be
commercial
another comparison followed by a cheap cliffhanger into commercial

Extra week of vacation for uncle Colin.

What has Colin Cowherd been saying the last couple of days?

Something true about Dominican's lack of education and that people are sensitive in 2015 PC world. Also that Gawker Media is becoming a bunch of fukking pussies. Colin Cowherd Is Mad We Didn't Run His Full Racist Musings, So Here

That's why I fukked with Colin & his show...besides his most recent bullshyt comments, he had a smart format and was engaging enough as a host to make it work. He let callers call in, had smart interviews and had strong opinions. He played the corporate game too, but it played well on radio/ESPNU. IDK what I'll watch in that time slot on ESPN or if Fox & Colin will go directly at ESPN in that same time slot

I didnt listen to Colin all that often but if he was doing a decent topic I'd listen in my car to pass the time...his show was at least listenable. I found myself plenty of times just laughing at some of his assumptions that were over the top preposterous...but he was at least entertaining. Mike and Mike is so bad.

What did he do

 

[resurrection]

I'm with those saying let's not have another Mike & Mike sanitized, safe, captain obvious opinions to replace Colin.. That Dominicans comment was unacceptable but his show was entertaining

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Lebatard an the Gotz getting that 10-1 slot

 

[hotbeezie]

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

Bomani already talked about it, me personally I heard it on the right time.

His rant about rocky movies and the upcoming tv series was.

 

[OnFleekTing]

ESPN is becoming more about the personalities and not the sports reporting.
Its cool but if you have people like colin fukking up for so long the network looks kinda suspect

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Colin knows his stuff, he has moments where he takes the troll mask off but these aren't very often which always bit him in the ass in the end. Such as his irrational hate for Aaron Rodgers, still down played it when he won a SB. I didn't listen to his Platano rant. I think he saw this coming and said phuck it.

 

[blac_da_rappa]

As long as they keep SVP im cool.

 

[He Who Posts Well]

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

Lebatards show isnt funny? It's way too ESPNy!? Y'all must be listening to a different show

 

[Rigby.]

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

They didn't leave, there is no job at ESPN for them anymore.
