it's stupid, but that's about it

it means absolutely nothing

I haven't seen anybody else say it so it might be wrong, but Mike and Mike said Lee and his producer were the ones that brought up him changing to avoid jokes and memes and whatever. Could be wrong..

Makes sense when you see it explained here: https://www.facebook.com/JohnOurand/posts/2041353469425927

Sounds like an EEOC case to me.

But I see EEOC magically having no interest and the broadcaster changing his on-air name to Bob Lee.

ESPN president John Skipper is....


a UNC grad

8/24/2017 8:35:02 AM

john skipper re-signs due to substance abuse

12/18/2017 12:23:28 PM

I don't think you need that hyphen, brother ^

and UNC grads suck!

12/18/2017 1:21:05 PM

there has to be more to this story. Skipper just signed an extension within the past couple of months. Was this Quid pro Quo to get the Fox deal over the finish line. One of Murdoch kids taking over ESPN?

12/18/2017 2:37:01 PM

The president of DSPN was a Tarheel?

Skipper was not only a tarhole, but from freaking Lexington, NC.

12/18/2017 7:43:45 PM

My initial thought was Disney just bought all of Fox's regional sports properties and me wondering if the two were somehow connected.

I don't buy that Skipper woke up one day, called Bob Iger, and said "I'm resigning". That's not how things work at that level of business.

12/18/2017 9:42:04 PM

Steve Young already hitting the O'Douls ahead of the firings.

12/18/2017 11:51:47 PM

Damn. Russillo out on the radio..

12/20/2017 3:06:13 PM

Sounds like it was by his own doing. I didn't get to listen in today to his show, one of the few i actually listen to on ESPN now.

Did he say they were making him leave the radio? They just did a lineup shakeup and he got screwed...I figured this was his own move to do this.

I get the feeling he was like nahhhh im good, barstool called.

He claimed it was super amicable and both sides just realized it was time to move on.

but i think you're right about:

Interesting list, 20 years is a long time. I guess Tiger at top is not to far of a stretch, but Tom Brady at 20 is way too low. Serena was also way to low. IMO Serena should be in top 5 she has been that dominate in Tennis. Of course this is the dead time in sports so lists will be all the rage.

We made the front page of espn.com! For all the wrong reasons of course.

Yeah, but her dominance rating is only a 9.5, so science doesn't really back this up.

ESPN is the fucking worst.

4/11/2018 12:26:16 PM

I can't find reader comments on their articles any more. May not visit ESPN.com again.

a fan of comments?

espn.com comments?

7/5/2018 4:39:08 PM

You know, like Golo or, whatever WRAL uses? People get to share their bigotry and semi-hide behind a screen.

7/6/2018 9:46:42 AM

definitely wouldn’t stop reading WRAL if they got rid of comments

7/6/2018 9:52:22 AM

never read the comments

7/6/2018 10:39:18 AM

They still haven't updated the score from the Brazil/Belgium match on their website

7/6/2018 5:33:42 PM

it’s very gross that there is nothing on your website about the Urban Meyer story

you’re doing nothing but giving the Clay Travis’s of the world ammo

anyone give in to ESPN+ yet?

8/7/2018 10:24:17 AM

nope...if they were to offer their entire espn platform as a standalone streaming service, i would pay for that (like $x/month for access to ESPN/U/2/etc). but doesn't espn+ have exclusive access to MAC games and MLS and boxing and stuff? that doesn't really appeal to me. i mean, if you're into tennis, boxing, MLS, then i think it does offer a lotta options there. but i'm not big into those sports.

8/7/2018 10:58:28 AM

I did to watch MLS and CFL. Probably won’t keep it past those seasons though

8/7/2018 11:13:20 AM

I did a month trial right when it became a thing, and never watched 1 single thing that was on +, so I canceled it. Since then, they've moved nearly anything that used to be on 3 over to +, so I have wavered back and forth on whether to sign back up. I haven't done it yet, because they pissed me off moving all the shit that used to stream regularly for free on 3 over to their paid + shit.

I'd probably do this too. As is, I probably won't sign up and will just continued to be peeved they moved formerly free shit over to paid.

8/7/2018 11:54:59 AM

i'm currently just using somebody else's log in to access watchespn. but it's kinda a pain and if i could pay for watchespn i would.

i'm wondering how ACC Baseball will be handled next season. A lot of our games were ESPN3. If they are behind the + paywall i'll be disappointed.

8/7/2018 2:45:13 PM

Next season they should be on the ACC network, correct?

Gonna give kudos to ESPN for their announcing crew at Wimbledon. Several times during the incredible Gentleman’s final were there multiple points or whole games when there was no commentary between points and you were able to just soak in the atmosphere.
