The Gone to Shit'ification of ESPN

When did Stephen A. start doing Jay Pharoah impressions?

 

Yep. I found Stephen A's over-the-top preening and Everett's ass-kissing laughter far more annoying than Lavar simply being Lavar.

They're just so convinced we're eating this shit up.

 

Stephen A. has stock in being a fool. It's constantly on the rise.

 

ESPN is trying so hard to appeal to the 18-35 male demographic that it’s willing to compromise any kind of integrity. From Barstool Sports to yukking it up and being fancy free in postgame interviews, as long as ESPN gets in the limelight, makes you stop and look, it doesn’t care much about the means it took to get there.

 

I doubt it's publicly traded, but wouldn't it be interesting if he were a silent partner/investor?

 

The word 'silent' is not often seen in close proximity to Stephen A.

 

Wilbon went off on this topic during PTI today. Called out any network that puts a microphone in Daddy Ball's face and said it was "editorial malpractice."

 

Let me guess, this was strike one, and if they do it again, it's one ... two ... three strikes you're out?

 

I type this every time, but it goes: SportsCenter used to be a hell of a show. You would have loved it, kids. May as well go back to the days of product placement on the set.

Was watching the 10 p.m PDT show last night, to get caught up. Highlight packages are their meat-and-potatoes, of course, but about halfway through they stop to interview Mark Harmon?
