I don't get it. Guys like Patrick, Eisen (granted he comes off as smug on those commercials and in interviews...but he's one of the best on Sportscenter) and Ley are so good that they need them to build other parts of their programming. After CNNSI and FoxSports proved they can't compete with Sportscenter, the network put it on what they think is cruise control, with lesser talents like Cohn and Scott. Wait. I guess I do get it.
Also, and I'm using this word a lot today, the guys running ESPN do not recognize Stuart Scott for the
fraud that he is. His catch-phrases are old and stale and when he tries to be street, it rings about as true as Hank's "sex-rap." The producers are just out of touch. My gf thinks he's offensive and wrote a letter to ESPN about the "Oh my gudness," "He made his kin-folk, Pookie, Ray-Ray, so proud," "Oh poppy, I did not know you could do it like that," crap.
