The Gone to ****'ification of ESPN

[Songbird]

I've been watching ESPN for 35 years and will always feel a sense of loyalty to it.

But this is really the most embarrassing segment they've ever aired.

"We need to remind ourselves that we are a journalistic organization and that we should not do anything that undermines that position." -- ESPN chief John Skipper 9/15/17

When will Jemele be back for a return to normalcy.

Was that a mic or LaVar's **** Stephen A. was clutching? That's the worst Stepen Fetchit I've seen in years.

 

[cjericho]

Does LaVar have enough time to be a media star and train and tutor LaMelo?

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Was just watching that, or at least the excerpts. Clown show.

 

[Buck]

they lost me a long time ago.

 

[Chef2]

That's pathetic.

They're trying to turn BBB into the next Nike.

Does Stephen A. have stock in BBB?

 

[Guy_Incognito]

It was like Mean Gene Okerland & Macho Man Savage.

 

[LongTimeListener]

Alright, I'm on @PCLoadLetter's side for this limited example. That was funny as hell.

Thank you!

Damn, why does LaVar make people so absurdly angry? You just got Stephen A interviewing LaVar live after Lonzo stepped on his **** in his NBA debut. What more could you want?

 

[Songbird]

Maybe it's just get-off-my-lawn'ism but that **** was grating to watch.

Had nothing to do with a dislike for LaVar.

 

[DanOregon]

When did Stephen A. start doing Jay Pharoah impressions?

 

[Stoney]

Had nothing to do with a dislike for LaVar.

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 **** 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?
