His first guests should be artie lange and joe buck. Re-live the first episode of joe buck's hbo show. Was one of the biggest tv disasters i've ever seen.

 

From 2:00 on is the best worst television of all time

 

[abubakr shaheed]

It's like

@BillSimmons: They actually had to change the rules for this season's Bachelorette. It's like when the NCAA banned dunking to slow down Lew Alcindor.

I don't watch he show but I know the new girl is hot and people were criticizing her for getting her cheeks clapped in one of the episodes and doing slurping noises.

 

[cashbanks]

Artie killed Joe Buck that was brutal.

 

[RyGuy45]

The Joe Buck show what a joke that was.

This is the reason we need guys like Simmons around - if not we get stuck with the country clubs and Joe Buck everywhere we turn on national TV (he's now FOX's lead golf announcer).

Olbermann also looks to be gone.

Deadspin:

Source: Contract Talks Between Olbermann And ESPN Are "95 Percent" Dead

Contract talks between ESPN and Keith Olbermann have almost completely broken down, a source familiar with the negotiations tells us, and the controversial host seems nearly a lock to leave the network after his two-year deal expires in August.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter today, ESPN executives were uncomfortable with Olbermann’s critical commentaries—especially, a source says, those ripping NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and former MLB commissioner Bud Selig. At a second round of contract talks, ESPN again pushed Olbermann to drop the commentaries from his show. We’re told Olbermann refused.

Ronald Jenkees is back. New BS theme?

 

[jpzx]

Haven't been up on it lately: traction on the HBO bit?

 

[RyGuy45]

More leaves:

The Big Lead is reporting that ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd will be leaving the company. The Hollywood Reporter says Cowherd’s last show will air next Friday, July 24. All indications are that he’ll move to the West Coast and join Fox Sports for a reunion with former ESPN producing wunderkind Jamie Horowitz who created SportsNation and Colin’s Football Show.

The Big Lead cites that Cowherd was frustrated over his radio simulcast on ESPNU and wanted it to be on either ESPN or ESPN2 but it wasn’t going to replace either SportsCenter and First Take.

Colin will be on foxsports but I can see him transitioning to FoxNews down the road.....he'll fit well over there

Perhaps he will continue to be the Bill O'Reilly of sports. Johnathan Wall might agree that he already is.

Wow. ESPN really is cleaning house.

Unfortunately First Take pulls big ratings so those 2 trolls aren't going anywhere

[IATT]

Not like she added much to the show beaides her cute laugh and saying "shots fired".

Surprised my boo, Molly Qerim agreed to be on that show. She looked good when she filled in on sportsnation.

From articles it sounded like she always wanted to be a sportscenter anchor but had to pay her dues first hosting the show with those two buffoons. I feel bad for Molly now.
