All Things Sports Media Thread!!

I heard the Rusillo show today and Sarah Spain was co-hosting. I dig her, she like legit knows what the hell she is talking about, maybe that can be the way the former SVP and Rusillo show should go.
 
Good for him though. I hope he brings back the pre season preview.

Clairvoyant Bill :lol :lol
 
Another recap this one on college football upcoming season:

According to Sports Business Journal, ESPN is moving Mark May off College Football Final.

ESPN will reportedly name a new trio for the much-maligned program that once featured Rece Davis hosting fake grade school courtroom debates between May and Lou Holtz. But with Holtz retired and Davis promoted to hosting College GameDay, ESPN has finally (thankfully) decided to go in a brand new direction for the show. Adnan Virk will host and be joined by analysts Danny Kanell and Joey Galloway. The trio will appear on both ABC and ESPN for halftime and postgame coverage.


Now we have the official announcement on the new hosts for each studio show. One interesting development is that Joe Tessitore will no longer be calling games on Saturdays. He’ll host SEC Nation on SEC Network from various game sites on Saturday mornings, then fly up to Bristol, CT in time to host College Football Final after all the games are done.

Other highlights:

- Mark May will join the ABC studio team of John Saunders and Mack Brown.
- Danny Kannell goes to ESPN from ABC joining Adnan Virk and Joey Galloway as the pregame, halftime and postgame studio on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
- Chris Cotter will become the daily host of College Football Live on ESPN at 2 p.m. ET with a rotation of various analysts.
- Cotter will be the pregame, halftime and postgame host for ESPN2 games. He’ll be joined by Robert Smith who returns from last year and former Miami, Cleveland Browns and North Carolina coach Butch Davis.
- ESPNU’s games will be hosted from Charlotte, NC and be fronted by Matt Schick and Brendan Fitzgerald. The analysts will be Charles Arbuckle and Kevin Carter.
 
On Tony's radio show he was saying that he and Mike were taking time off for the summer and he would be on alot. But he also said that they were getting him ready to take his (Tony) spot whenever he retires/leaves. Not a fan of that at all.

Pretty sure Tony is joking when he talks about Whitlock taking his spot. He says that about every fill-in host when they do extended guest hosts during the summer. I just wish Tony's radio show wouldn't take two months off every summer.
 
As long as mark May is permanently off my tv screen I'm ok with whatever move they make
 
Interested to see how Colin does without ESPN

I know Dan P. will be waiting in the cut with the shotty loaded if he doesnt do numbers

I don't listen to sports radio but when I see colin's radio show on espnu, I think it's weird having a one person radio show for a few hours. Like how can a show just be one person talking the majority of the time. I like when someone has a co-host and they can actually have a discussion.
 
Francesa does a great job but he takes callers. Does the herb take callers? I never listened to that clown.
 
He host a show by himself 15 hours a week , that's no easy task ..he worded that baseball thing horribly though . I enjoy listening to him .One of the first dudes championing college football on espn , his blazing 5 in I think 2012 or 2013 was absurd :hat made alot of people money .
and he takes callers but not a absurd amount .

I know it's not easy but you must really enjoy talking that much if you're going to host a show by yourself. I saw he rustled jimmies a few days ago with his comments about Dominicans.

he does and when somebody disagrees with him, he tries to big time the caller like hes so much smarter then him.

Francesa bugs out on dudes but usually it's warranted. Sometimes you could tell when he's had a bad day or is frustrated and he's a jerk for no reason but for the most part he's the best out there.

I didn't think it was that bad either but media people probably saying they didn't like it to be safe.

'Baseball's just too complex.' Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world-class academic abilities. A lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have.
It's an incredibly stupid thing to say. 
 
crazy thing is like a week before that he was discussing soccer. Somehow he got on the subject of how basketball and football players come from lower academic backgrounds, or something to that effect. Its clear what circle he targets and speaks to.



dude is constantly begin offensive and im perfectly ok with espn letting him go.
 
He's s pathetic shock jock that will say anything to conjure controversy and draw attention. His melo nonsense his wall nonsense this academic nonsense. He's a hack who's a joke.
 
Can't say I'm shocked by those cowherd comments...he always came off as an elitist to me...

And being a big fan of sport talk radio I love Francesa..I try to DVR the telecast whenever it airs on fox sports one..
