    I can only hope they keep Jeremy Schaap off this show.

    I would rather watch Skip Bayless fuck Patrick McEnroe than watch this garbage.

    Huh? Was this supposed to be in blue? If not, why's it garbage? Seems like people are always eager to shred ESPN here for being frivolous and loading up "news" shows with non-stop opinion crap. This project sounds a lot closer to Outside the Lines, one of the few ESPN products most here consistently respect.

    Three posts and no one's commented on Bill Simmons being this show's Andy Rooney? Never thought I would see the day.

    Wonder if he'll borrow Adam Corrolla's eyebrows for the segment.

    If it's going to be Outside the Lines, redux, then have an intelligent person hosting it......not Bill fucking Simmons.

    If it's going to be 60 minutes of continuous sucking up to featured guests, then have the dumbest deuschbag there doing it........and that would be Bill fucking Simmons.

    Who are all the new hires going to be?

    It doesn't say Simmons would host, it suggests he might have an Andy Rooneyesque "commentator" role at the end. Quite a difference.

    "In this commentary, the Boston Celtics won the draft lottery and will more than likely pick Greg Oden"

    next week

    "In this commentary, I know I talked about the Celtics last week, and the Red Sox the week before, and the Patriots the week before that, so let's talk about something else near and dear to the hearts of everyone.......the Boston Bruins.....ya see........."
