hammerva Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The latest 30 for 30 podcast is called March 11 2020 which is a great recap of the day in which the NBA was suspended because Rudy Gobert contracted the COVID virus They even have Gobert in the podcast talking about the day although he doesn't talk about the rubbing hands on the mic shit. Lots of other people on like Anthony Fauci, Scott Van Pelt, the governor of Oklahoma, some Thunder players, and other ESPN personalities. The 30 for 30 podcasts are always great but this is one of their better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a lot of better sports programming anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Details are still light, but Dan Le Batard and John Skipper are starting their own media company. Amin Elhassan is leaving ESPN to join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The first week of the Le Batard free shows were interesting. First you had "drunk" Dan on air and then Dan going crazy after the Capitol riots. Looking forward to where this Skipper thing goes. I'm guessing the route of a Dan Patrick type deal. I wonder who else jumps ship to join Dan down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Sounds like the "big stuff" (like NHL and NASCAR) will migrate to the USA Network, but I'm going to guess that Peacock is about to get a whole lot of sports programming here shortly.

hammerva Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 MASN Sports Network in the DC and Baltimore area basically did a major purge and got rid of a ton of broadcasters. It sounds like they are getting rid of all the pre-game and post game stuff for the Nationals and Orioles. Plus it looks like the O's lost most of their in game team as well like Gary Thorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeah - though Gary Thorne seems more like a contract dispute than an out and out budget cut (though you probably be considering that splitting hairs) Both teams were told that if they wanted the shows to continue they would have to pay for them themselves. The Nats put out an angry statement to get good PR from the fans but notice they aren't actually offering any money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Oh man, the reporter who tracked down Ricky Williams back in the day when he quit the NFL and dropped off the face of the earth to get high is writing some background about how it came about on twitter. It's one of my favorite pieces of sportswriting so this rules for me, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith. It feels like Shannon and Skip are capable of having an actual conversation. Stephen A.
