First things first had many cast changes and even abandoned the moderator in Jenna and let Wildes do both.

It will be probably be fine. I remember folks being worried when Shaq joined the tnt crew.
The cast they have is good enough to damn near integrate anyone and make it work outside of SAS or Skip Bayless.

Parkins is cool but he literally feels like a Nick Wright clone. Guess we’ll see how this turns out

This cac is awful and is a less entertaining version of Nick. What happened to don't fix what's broken?

They should've added a young, charismatic and articulate ex-pro that can offer more technical insight into the NBA or NFL if they wanted to go down that route.

Not only does this have the potential to fukk up their chemistry but an extra hour means they'll have to force Bron/Chiefs/Cowboys/Lakers discussions into every show to fill in time.

Coach, Parkins & Greg join in on the third hour....

All have been on the show and filled in many a days....

Let it play out....

I really only watch the show through YouTube clips but I've seen a few of Danny's segments and he's okay. You just can't mess up the formula when it works, now you're adding someone else and a whole another hour. Idk bout this one.

Your idea works but overall “young” is the operative word. Why not reach out and get someone in their 20s with a totally different perspective? One of these Kenny Beecham types or one of these guys from The Big 3 podcast. Make it like an every Friday thing and gauge the response

I feel like adding Danny Perkins is redundant. As much as I can't stand Nick Wright he has refined his trolling and devils advocacy. I actually like Eric Mangini.
