ESPN needs to fire Dan fat turd

[t-wizzle]

He can be annoying but good for him for saying what needed to be said. ESPN is run by cowards.

[packerd_00]

Only time I watch ESPN now is for a game, then I may keep it on if SVP is up next. I used to have it on 24/7, and watch the same highlights over and over. Such an easy business model that they blew. Have no interest in turning it on in the morning. I’ll just keep it on the news. The same fckin news I’ve heard 100 times already, is somehow better than ESPN now. It’s unreal. I need Saved By The Bell reruns or some shit.

Do they even show much in the way of games anymore mate, seems more like a chit chat channel now. CBS and Fox seem to be where its at for games now.

The talkies all sound like they invented the NBA, they show a few NBA games a week.
They show a ton of NCAA hoops too, Dickie V's passion for the game is genuine but I can't listen to his schtick any more.
The baseball coverage is ordinary at best, Jessica may have been a standout player herself but she's barely ordinary at best in the booth.
A-Rod may know more baseball than most humans but in the booth he does nothing for me.
The NFL is what? One game a week now, and their coverage blows.
God forbid ESPN should do a hockey game or two.

[POISON]

Kick them both out. Neither are American. At least one doesn't support Al Qaeda. Guess which one?

That's a no brainer. Plus the pos married her brother to get into the country...

These are interesting.

Baseball Hall of Fame vote[edit]
In January 2014, it was revealed that Le Batard was the member of the BBWAA who gave his baseball Hall of Fame vote away to sports news site Deadspin^[8] allowing them to use it as a public opinion poll. On January 9, 2014, the BBWAA imposed a one-year ban on Le Batard after learning that he did it because of his criticism over the BBWAA's voting process of selecting baseball players, especially concerning players involved in performance-enhancing drug scandals. Le Batard has spoken out against the "moralizing" of the voting. Le Batard was also forever stripped of his Hall of Fame voting privileges.^[9] His ESPN colleagues were mixed in their reactions, which ranged from support to condemnation, with some wondering why Le Batard did not use ESPN.com to conduct the vote. LeBatard regretted not delaying the revelation of his involvement with the vote, as it deflected attention away from the announced inductees. He also said he "had a blind spot" about the level his colleagues were hurt by Deadspin's involvement.^[10]

LeBron James billboards[edit]
On August 7, 2014 Le Batard was suspended for two days from his duties at ESPN for allegedly taking out a billboard in Akron, Ohio which read "You're Welcome, Lebron. Love, Miami" and pictured two NBA championship rings. The billboard referred to LeBron James' departure from the Miami Heat and return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.^[11] On August 11, 2014 Dan Le Batard addressed his two days off air was not because of the billboards, but because he was going to fly a plane banner with the (You're Welcome) banner at the homecoming of LeBron Friday (August 9) and do a live radio transmission to “mock the homecoming”.

How long till they lose the rights to March Madness,someone like NBC.

They've let everything else slide.

Minus a couple of you boys, but Lebatard isn't going after the raciest-far right-woman-hating demographic, so there is probably a good reason you don't like his shows.

Watch your Fox News and cry on this, or any of the other numerous boards you seem to have endless time for, about how your little male white privilege is getting taken away. Find those who ONLY agree with your opinion, then rinse and repeat.

[MinnesotaFats]

The guy is hillarious

Owns Miami market

Drives ratings w controversy

Bomanti Jones and the crew from ATH are more political imho and more provocative

Dan attempts to bring 2 sides forward.

As for HOF voting its ridiculous

Games all time HR leader, hits leader not in HOF and a slew of guys w 500+ hrs and 3000 hits never gonna get in....but Edgar Martinez and Tim Raines do?

Dooohkayyy

[packerd_00]

He's a dummy for calling racist statements racist?


FUN FACT:

WHO WAS A U.S. CITIZEN LONG BEFORE MELANIA?

That's right, Omar.

Guess Melania better book a flight.

You Trumpers are morons

Next time Melania says this won't be a country for white people you can talk.

[Jayvegas420]

If you're not listening to VSIN you're wasting your Time!

[kyhawk]

Everyone relax. It's just a dumb talk show. I do like PTI.

[msutter]

BTW, the others, can go back to where they were born?

Guess where? That's right, the USA.

You guys need to drink more, lift and get laid.

Get off the faux news channel.

GUMMMMMMMMO. What's up man?

I don'r watch the show because it's terrible.
I don't listen to his radio is because it's not very good and he'd a blowhard that doesn't come up for air. And he's a talking run on sentence.

Doesn't March Madness belong to CBS/TBS?

[stevenash]

Doesn't March Madness belong to CBS/TBS?

Yes.
ESPN owns all the college bowl games.

[thomorino]

Nobody owns the college bowl games, the TV networks bid on them every couple years and the highest bidder wins, it usually rotates.

[packerd_00]

Doesn't March Madness belong to CBS/TBS?

I thought ESPN had some of the games. Their you go then,they dont have much going on as far as live Sports go.

[Nitrogen]

Yes.

Nope. They own the playoff (for now) - but the rest are bid on.

ESPN has become almost obsolete to be honest mate.

[convick]

Nobody cares what his fat oval face has to say about politics

No one cares what brown Canadians have to say either...

[daneblazer]

I don’t watch espn for politics. Nobody does. Lebatard has a unique show, but stick to sports.

[jjgold]

at least new Pres of ESPN said no politics

People do not watch ESPN for that

[icecapper]

I miss Cowherd and Russillo.
