ESPN loses a...well, a terrible one.

Mushnick:

 

I know I probably shouldn't mention this but I once sent ESPN a letter begging them to make Stewart Scott wear a monocle on-air. Can't stand Scott and since he has a glass eye - him wearing glasses on-air is just messing with us. I though if ESPN made him wear a monocle it would humble him a bit.

Plus it just makes me chuckle to picture Stewart Scott wearing a monocle.

 

Just make him wear a patch.

 

Or a muzzle.

 

Despite having started this thread, I'm actually somewhat of an ESPN fanboi (could be because I have happy memories of working there...) but damn, the anchor talent they have these days is Market 100-level. Or worse. Sarah Walsh anchoring the prime-time SC and fumbling her first two lines? And if it's not her, its a poorly seasoned rookie with good ol' six-toes. Or worse -- more no-names, screaming.

No wonder CBS and NBC and Comcast are ramping up to compete.

 

SportsCenter is bordering on unwatchable.

They need to dump open the checkbook for Kilby.

 

Fixed.

 

Fixed again.

 

Fixed for grammar.

 

Yeah, probably should have kept that to yourself. Stuart is among the most unwatchable things on the air at ESPN, but no no need to make fun of his eye injury. Though I admit it can be distracting, so maybe I should have kept this to myself too. Hmmm.

I haven't been an ESPN fanboi for several years, but I have tried to continue to watch because I enjoy sports. It has become a caricature of itself. It's almost like they're messing with us at this point with all the Tebow birthday crap earlier this week and the Jets camp sit-in and Tebow running shirtless in the rain. They also revamped First Take, and it might be even worse than before. Makes me want to start getting back into the gym during the day before work. Almost.

 

Word on the street is that KFWB AM980 is the new CBS Sports Radio station in LA.
