I wrote about this elsewhere...I just can't stand Jalen on TV.
He was good on them Grantland shyts telling old stories and whatnot...actually a pretty funny ass dude with some good wisdom from years of experience.
But he's a terrible show host / regular personality. He doesn't have the right energy for it. I don't know how to explain it - it just doesn't work.
I ain't hatin - I'm a fan of dude, just not in this role.
The rest of ESPN awful too...try Skip & Shannon if you want sports fukkery with a dash of social commentary from time to time. They fully embrace the fukkery aspect, while going way deeper on real shyt than anyone else does when its warranted. They're fearless, and the shyt is refreshing.
