[5] They recently made room for Mike Lupica for an hour or two before Kay. Talk about the blind leading the blind (not to mention the obvious and phony setup for a radio cockfight)

This is a station that employs both Colin Cowherd (radio) and Jim Rome (tv). And fired Harold Reynolds.

‘Nuff said.

[3] Ditto. It was once the coolest thing in the world for a sports fan. It hasn’t been that for a very long time.

I’ve read a few of the excepts here and there, and while its interesting on one level, on another level, its boring. Are people really surprised that in a giant media corporation where a huge ego is almost a requirement for success, some of the personalities don’t like each other? I don’t understand how this qualifies as news in 2011.

I only watch the ESPN channels when a game is on. I haven’t watched a minute of their other programming in years.

Yeah, ESPN announcers since the 90s occupy their own level of Hell. I did read the SNL one. Addicting and depressing. Just the subject matter–reading about talented, insecure people. Lots of egos. Some of it is interesting, most of it just feels like one long hangover.

The smug, jokey style of ESPN anchors is so annoying. The schtick is also lame..listend to 30 mins of Mike&Mike once and wanted to vomit. Wow, the nebbish-girly-man and dumb-jock football player!! How cutting-edge!! Not sure want to read about all these people though maybe good to poke through while killing time in a bookstore. Would like to check out the SNL one, anybody read that?
