ESPN reviving “The Sports Reporters”

[manyfaces]

Does ESPN Zone still exist? I remember when I went to NYC as a kid it was the first place I want to go to as a sports head.

I remember going to the one in ATL like 20+ years ago. Places was dope as hell at the time.


Regarding Sports Reporters, I don't know know how many talented JOURNALIST there are out there now that can talk sports, be charismatic on tv, and not take it to some dumb ass hot take land that the sports discussion media has become. Sports reporters was never that. Intelligent journalistic discussions (before Lupica started being a real hoe) that came right before or after another real journalism show in Outside the Lines with Levy hosting. Once nikkas arguing dumb shyt got the ratings they threw all that shyt in the trash to chase more of it. Sports reporters is how I became a big fan of Wiley. Really talented writer and I'd like to think he'd throw up at the thought of what fatlock has become.

The grandaddy of all the stuff we see today. PTI is the daddy. Skip is the shytty stepfather.

As others have pointed out, its gonna be tough getting people that fit the bill. We have had an entire generation raised on hot take, just throw some bullshyt out there and stand by it no matter what culture. So can you find legit journalists that arent 60? And if you do, will people respond to it?

Of course you can when you remember the fact that a lot of those journalists and TV people are just playing characters for entertainment purposes.

it's an H&M now

If they base it out of NY they'd go to that new building Disney got for ABC/ESPN

You won't. Much like that classic Twilight Zone episode, their mask have become their actual face. You gotta get a whole new crop of talent, or you gotta get some of those guys that actually write real articles, like Zach Lowe or somebody, but most of them don't have the charisma to carry ATV show discussion.

Fukk Yes. Gimme:

Li’l Schapp
Mitch Albom (so he can quit writing them weird-ass novels)
Howard Bryant (checks 4 boxes)
(If Jackie Mac or Linda Cohn won’t come back,) Courtney Cronin or my Bew-Thang Mina Kimes
