Thompson is fukkin funny, Trudell is bland as fukk but Thompson needs to be on radio somewhere. Either way, SAS is trash
Mike & Mike splitting up
- Thread starter resurrection
- Start date

This move doesn't make sense at all. Didn't Mike Greenberg try to do something on his own before? Look how that "Duel" shyt turn out.

You have to understand that as a general rule, TV networks want their programming in the mornings and late at night to be light and vanilla
They understand that consumers don't want to be slapped in the face with serious content right after they just woke up nor do they want to be slapped in the face with edgy content right before they go to sleep
That's why ESPN ends their day with SVP instead of Stephen A Smith screaming into the cameras
That's why network TV stations air game shows and cooking shows early in the morning and reruns of old sitcoms and late night talk shows late at night

ESPN Alt, I thought that is what those alt channels were for

If ESPN was smart, they'd replace Mike and Mike with a show that talks X's and O's breakdowns and analytics type stuff for basketball and baseball.
A lot of deplorables would be mad at first, but this is the one area that hasn't been brought to TV consistently. Every show tries to dumb things down to pander to casuals and idiots. Bring in some smart guys and let them show how much they really know. There is already interest in this even for football.

You don't seem to understand that they have to cut costs, 'm not talking for a watcher, I"m talking from the business side

What you see, is what you get
ESPN is making a lot of bold moves lately. First they get rid of His & Hers and now Mike & Mike. If they need to get rid of a show over at ESPN it should be SportsNation I don't see how that show is still on.
i watched while getting ready for work. show is not a bad as dudes making it out to b
I think Greeny probably pushed for a change behind the scenes. With everyone else from ESPN 2 moved over to the mothership, he probably asked to get his own Sportscenter like Mike/Jemele & Van P. They will probably give him the morning Sportscenter.
lol at ESPN being "cash strapped "

You realize that ESPN has contracts with these leagues right? They have obligations to air games, thats where ESPN2 (partially) serves its purpose.

Bruh, analytical baseball talk would be the quickest way to tank ratings. The only thing that would do worse is analytical hockey. The reason mornings shows cater to casuals with generic content and safe comedy is because the overwhelming majority of the audience is comfortable with that. People who want specialized content know where they can go to find it.
That's a bad thing too, it's never been a better time for sports fans to watch every single event they have even a passing interest in. I'm not paying for 10 different streaming subscriptions or hooking my computer via hdmi. Nah
