Get rid of all the so called personalities...Do shows with professionals; such as line makers and professional bettors and/or casual but regular players...Do stats and analytics and the like... These people they have now just laugh, smile and/ yell, try to look pretty, etc....It all turns me off 100%.

That's what niche sites and podcasts are for. That stuff does not appeal to a mass audience. The % of people who watch sports and bet the games is very small.

ESPN used to have a show called Numbers Never Lie focused on analytics. By the end of it is was Jalen Rose and Hugh Douglas and like every other show.

The avg fan does not wanna hear how good the Jazz are when they play Gobert and Jae Crowder together.

I agree with you about the "average fan".. Maybe they just need to add some belly dancers and comedians. I enjoy watching the games and have my own stats, so that's why there is no appeal for me on these shows....not your average fan.

highly questionable is my favorite espn show at the moment

HQ is great, have been watching since day one. I wish Bomani Jones stayed on as co-host. ESPN removed him so they could pair him with Pablo Torre for an hour long midday show but it's been postponed. If ESPN is not going to do the show they should bring Bomani back. I know the HQ producers have this in mind because Highly Questionable doesn't have a permanent co-host. They keep rotating hosts through the show. Israel Gutierrez makes the most sense as a permanent replacement. Katie Nolan and Sarah Spain are weak. Mina Kimes writes for ESPN The Magazine and is an actual journalist. It's a hobby for Sarah Spain who came from Chicago and became popular because of her huge cans. She is married to a billionaire real estate developer.

Just wait until states legalize gambling. Programming like what is currently on VSIN will be all over television and Beadle will probably be on that too as long as she keeps quiet about whatever she must know. Why else would she possibly have a job other than the brainless courtside reporter.

Bomani Jones' radio show was cancelled because it lost 90+ affiliates and had the worst ratings in the history of ESPN radio. He's horrible.

I heard Mina Kimes say yesterday on First Take turnovers are part of the Golden State offense. I knew then she wasn't a person to be listened to ever when it comes to sports.

His radio show might have sucked but he was good on HQ. His banter with Dan when they showed clips of those crazy drivers in Russia was priceless. I never think of HQ as a sports show just two guys and Papi riffing over video clips and TV shows like The Bachelor.

Twice within about two minutes that morning show empty head named L referred to the state of Arkansas as "Ark-Kansas," and unfortunately she was not trying to make a joke.

Good thread. The idea was a trainwreck, the hiring of those three was a trainwreck, and so is the show. I will enjoy watching all three of these fail but the last laugh is on everyone else with the salaries they are making.

They run this Get up show for 6 straight hours.

7-10 on ESPN then they replay it on ESPN2 from 10-1

At the same time you have First Take on ESPN from 10-12

No Sportscenter from 10-12 what a joke.

Replaying this shit show from 10-1 will change real soon.

6 hours of pure garbage.

I could be wrong.....but seems like the show is written for them. They bring people on all the time who are clueless and all of a sudden have some fluent shit to say on sports.

I watched a little bit of the Greenberg show and thought it was ok but i hardly watch tv (what i want to watch) in the mornings.

I hear "good morning football" on the nfl network is really good.

I like Bomani but his radio show was AWFUL. Actually used to like him when he was on Lebatard's radio show as a guest co-host (stan van gundy used to be awesome as well).

I cant see ESPN pulling the plug on Greeny's show just yet.
