Chris Mannix is legit...enjoy his podcasts
Reddick is kinda boring despite his new tattoos

 

[pmatic]

I dislike when Mannix goes on his monologues.

 

[jpzx]

For a long time I thought I liked Chris Mannix.

Then I heard Mannix on The DP Show when Dan wasn't there and it was McLovin/Fritzy and I wouldn't say this unless I truly was sure it was accurate: Mannix is a ****.

 

[abubakr shaheed]

Recent updates:

Matt Hasselbeck joining ESPN NFL Countdown, reportedly replacing Mike Ditka

The makeover of Sunday NFL Countdown continues. After recently retired Pro Bowl corner Charles Woodson joined the ESPN set to replace a departing Keyshawn Johnson, another NFL player is reportedly making the move straight from the league to Bristol.

That would be longtime veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

The Big Lead reports Hasselbeck will be replacing Mike Ditka on the countdown set in a move that isn’t all that surprising considering Ditka is 76 and in the latter stages of his television career and his biggest contribution recently to ESPN has been tangents like this. TBL also reports Ditka will have an “emeritus” role at the network, which is also known as Whatever Happened To Bob Knight.

CBS/Turner unveil 2016 NCAA Tournament announcers

Here’s how the lineup looks for 2016. Once again, the top four teams listed will also call Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games in the second weekend of the Tournament:

Jim Nantz / Bill Raftery / Grant Hill // Tracy Wolfson*
Brian Anderson / Steve Smith // Dana Jacobson*
Verne Lundquist / Jim Spanarkel // Allie LaForce*
Kevin Harlan / Reggie Miller / Dan Bonner // Lewis Johnson*
Ian Eagle / Chris Webber / Len Elmore // Evan Washburn
Spero Dedes / Doug Gottlieb // Ros Gold-Onwude
Andrew Catalon / Steve Lappas // Jamie Erdahl
Carter Blackburn / Mike Gminski // Jaime Maggio

This year marks the first time that the National Championship Game won’t be on CBS since 1981 when NBC broadcast the game. TBS will air both the Final Four and National Championship Game. And those “Team Stream” homer calls will be utilized once again not just for the Final Four, but also the National Championship Game.

For the studio, Ernie Johnson and Greg Gumbel will co-host the first week in New York with Charles Barkley, Kenny “The Jet” Smith and Clark Kellogg. In Atlanta, Matt Winer will be joined by CBS Sports Network analyst Wally Szczerbiak, Seth Davis and college coaches.

Stu's tourney takes were hilarious

"____ has an underrated star putting up 12 & 3 every night, they got a real deep bench, real high character team. Don't be surprised if you see them in the elite 8."
