odessasteps Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 I saw something about some White Sox fans complaining about him leaving.
Brian Fowler Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Well, the Matt Shepard era was... Something that happened for five years? (Of course, Shepard only got the job after the previous commentary team got into a physical fight and both are fired years back.)
hammerva Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 So Charissa Thompson for some dumb reason decided to tell us that some of the time he is just making shit up on the sidelines of NFL games. I guess your level of outrage is based on whether you care about sideline reporters to begin with. But saying out loud is pretty stupid while still employed.

Here is the clip https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1725147205827252330?s=20 It is going over about as well as you would expect with her colleagues
Gonzo Posted November 17, 2023 Author Posted November 17, 2023 Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but isn't Charissa Thompson one of those people that nobody in the industry really likes but nobody was willing to say it out loud (until now, obviously)? But yeah. . .this doesn't seem like the best way to go about remaining employed.
Brian Fowler Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Apparently this is the second time she's admitted it on a podcast, and the previous time Erin Andrews also said she had done it once to not throw a coach under the bus.
supremebve Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 I'm not surprised by this at all. Coaches are either openly hostile or dismissive 90% of the time during sideline interviews. I'd be more surprised if a sideline reporter didn't make shit up some of the time. Not to mention the fact that I've been watching sports my entire life and the only sideline interview I remember is Joe Namath asking to kiss Suzy Kolber. 2
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 Remember when Sports Illustrated was the peak of sports journalism? Me, neither. But still...

SI responded to this and said the articles in question were done by an outside vendor (you know the type that says You'll Never Believe How Beautiful Kane's Wife Is!). SI says that vendor said all they're articles were written by humans, but even a cursory glance at the company (AdVon) says their entire business model is "AI solutions for media".

You'll be shocked to learn that the SI Union is pissed about this.
Infinit Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 I hope the union takes them to the cleaners
SirFozzie Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 So.. 40% upgrade in price for NASCAR's next deal. 1.1 Billion a year over 7 years (previously was 10/8.2 Billion, so 7/7.7 is huge) https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/39007786/nascar-include-streaming-new-7-year-media-rights-deal
Raziel Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Let me save some of you the effort because I was too dumb not to click... The reason you see Jason Whitlock trending, is because he doesn't know how targeted ads work and he thought he had a dunk on ESPN for a particular banner ad he had show up. 1

Counterpoint: click because it's hilarious how dumb Jason Whitlock is.
