Heard Rob Parker talk in interview about ESPN, Skip and Mike (no link)
I guess I'm part of the minority because the only time I'm tuning into ESPN these days is for the games being played. I coud give a damn about those pinheads talking back and forth.

Yup, SNF is the key. It's a great move for Tirico.
He's moreso illustrating the dichotomy between white athlete/black athlete through the guise of Skip Bayless. Greg Hardy was being dragged through the mud and being sought to be punished for a third time for the same incident, whereas Johnny Manziel has been accused of the same crime, plus has many other incidents yet receives the paternal treatment from Skip.
Ehh Skip Bayless might be a troll, but has never displayed any racial undertones or racial bias in his arguments throughout the years.
And to be fair Manziel just got indicted last week.. Hardy was found guilty, and paid off his victim

The problem with fox sports is production, sets, and their graphics.

Espn needs to contract some of their stations, it is what it is, they really don't need ESPNNews and U (as well as SEC) They also need to get rid of the daytime bloat, two back to back nfl shows (insiders and live) is 
during the season and :horse: when the nfl ain't in season. I agree with them playing musical chairs with hosts/personalities. If they're going to have all these hours of debate, they need to make sure the hosts are there as that's who viewers check for. Lastly, when all else fails, be like the rest of these networks, get some reality shows poppin to fill some of that dead air across stations

It's funny to me how the people who don't watch the show are the ones most willing to talk shyt about it. I'll say what I said in another thread: BOTH STEPHEN A AND SKIP HAVE BEEN CONDEMNING MANZIEL FOR MONTHS
You nikkaz just comment without watching the show as if you actually know what you're talking about. And anyone who calls Skip a racist also doesn't know what they're talking about, he's arguably more sympathetic to black plight than Stephen A if you watch the show as a whole (though Stephen A does need to maintain credibility so it doesn't look like he always sides with his race).

Lebatard summed this up perfectly today. He said they are all replaceable because ESPN made them all kings including him. ESPN is the brand, one of the most recognizable brands in the world. He said you can't find Cowherd or Dan Patrick on the tv dial and even Bill Simmons is just a scratch on the bumper. He said Mike Tirico is great but ESPN won't lose one viewer during Titans/Jags MNF because Tirico aint there and he's right
He said FT is popular and ESPN is in 99 million homes and over 98 million of those homes don't watch FT
