ESPN announces new 60Minutes/Real Sports type show

Well, he's almost as far over the hill.

 

There are going to be six regular correspondents, most of us new to the network (and most of us new to TV): Wright Thompson, Jeff Passan, Rick Maese, Charlie Pierce, John Saunders, and little ol' me.

We're pretty excited about some of the stuff we've been cooking up. Hope you guys can get over your hate for ESPN and give us a chance.

 

Congrats on the gig.

 

Well now, don't I feel like an asshole for that previous post.

 

If Jones, Pierce, et al, are involved, then I'll give it a try.

 

I take it we can submit story ideas?

 

Oh, I'm full of shit. This is the first I've heard of the thing.

Just feeling playful, but I don't the heart to keep going with it.

 

Well, hell, the story ideas could have been fun.

 

What, is my phone broken?

 

Hey, I'll take all the story ideas I can get.

 

Yes.

Billy is clearly as bitter approaching the 40 crest than Andy ever was.

 

Please, ESPN, don't recycle the Around the Horn guys to this show too!
