General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

If you look at any of the talk-shows they have, you'll realize they all follow some sort of the same formula, be that "Black guys talk about sports!", or "Mexicans talk about sports!", or "Pat McAfee and other white doucher bros talk about sports!"

Obviously I'm generalizing, but good griefd

I miss the old ESPN.

Tbh I think 24/7 channels need to die out and media needs to revert to scheduled programming ending at 1 AM.

Formal media blackouts from 1 AM to 6 AM EST

I'm not even being devil's advocate with this one, but what else would it be? Sports talk show where someone or several someones talks about sports, that's pretty much what you're limited to within those parameters

I guess I was confused then because of the phrasing

But ESPN is dog ass these days, they actually still had a couple decent journalists until recently, but now it's just motherfuckers yapping who don't have a clue what they're yapping about

I'm not saying like the sports talk shows are bad, just that ESPN has too many following some type of gimmick that regularly fails to grasp an audience, when it would make more sense to have three primary shows, one at 11 AM, one at 3 PM, and one at 6 PM, presenting quick, concise news, some speculation, and scores as old Sportscenter used to

Put Sports Science back on the schedule as well

Wish they could the guy who did that is dead (suicide maybe a year ago now?)

Sadly, John Brenkus passed away last year.
