For all of you who HAVE NOT seen the show and are sports fans, I suggest you sit down and watch the half hour that it is. With the revamp and Jalen, and Hugh as full time co-hosts, it is awesome!!! I find myself glued to the tv to see what they are going to say next and then find out the number..it is not as good as say PTI or Sports nation but it is definitely worth watching if you are a true sports fan.

Never heard of the show, I’m sure it has a lot of diversity though

That may be true, but unfortunately for the show, it isn’t full of mouthbreathers whose idea of a sports conversation is regurgitating one stat after another.

Analysis = moutbreathing. Good to know.

Agree. The general television-watching (ESPN)public is full of moutbreathers.

This is an example of ESPN being burned by assuming a popular basis for a show based on the internet. The sports numbers love is much more prevalent on the internet than it is outside of that realm.

ESPN has plenty of smart, talented numbers guys who could break down trends and stats in a fascinating way. So they bring in two ex jocks and turn it into a debate show?

Thompson, a rising star at the Network

Yeah, the only way up is probably through Berman’s legs. Isn’t that how it works for vapid bimbos?

I assume that at the end of the memo they said they were moving NFL matchup to ESPN Ocho to air at 4:00 AM EST on Mondays.

Ben, can we use any of this? These debate things are GOLD.

I think if we put a web series together, it would get picked up nationally after about 4 episodes.

Wasn’t Aaron Schatz supposed to be on that show? Must have realized people would rather discuss quarterback toughness than the real reasons teams win games
