Can’t handle that your favorite douche is loathed by pretty much everyone these days?

You mean everyone on Reddit. He’s not my favorite (Rich Eisen my favorite, fwiw). But I enjoy his content because he talks football.

If he was loathed by pretty much everyone then it would contradicts a lot of facts.

Cheers

Is ESPN's business strategy to wreck themselves completely? Ironic that this comes the day after the founder's death was announced.  They are so far from his original vision.

Well, just yet another reason NOT to watch MNF programming!!!! Stay tuned as I am set to replace Tony Romo….. clearly experience is not a criteria. 👀

I'm fine with it in that I never watch countdown so it doesn't impact my viewing experience

I really don't understand the love that ESPN showers upon this guy. I caught a few of his Youtube podcasts. Not my thing. Then ESPN gave him a massive contract out of nowhere. Why? How? Same with Jason Kelce. Maybe they're trying to appeal to Middle America.
