I just hope Will Cain doesn't get three hours solo. I remember when he substituted on Bomani's show when Bo was on assignment in Paris, and I (and all #therighttime listeners) wanted to give him the fade. He's a mess

He's a mess He's a clown He tries to hard to always take the opposite view of things just because which is irritating as a listener It's cheap Skip Bayless way of thinking without trying to be too controversial like a Colin Cowherd which would get him in trouble

Van Pelt did it right, get your own show and don't partner up with anyone b/c the moment shit hits the fan, someone is going to get screwed over. They pretty much built SC6 around Hill and Smith and after a year, the show is going to be done or changed dramatically.

I think it makes more sense for Hill to work at The Undefeated. It keeps her in the ESPN family so she can still do guest segments, fill-in cohosting on shows, and whatnot, and the Undefeated allows for a greater emphasis on the crossroads of sports, race, and culture than SportsCenter really does.
I feel for Michael Smith because he and Jemele have been a solid team since she first partnered up with him on Numbers Never Lie. But I think he's solid enough to host on his own. He has good chemistry with Elle Duncan, too, if they want to bump her up the food chain.

Yea, it sucks for Smith because he built up a real good partnership with Hill which furthered both of their careers in ESPN. It's a good move for her as it takes her more so out the spotlight after the rough 2017 she had For the short term they will have him do the show by himself as stated in the article and I assume with guest stars later until you get a permanent replacement. Any woman in the company trying to take a step up will def be gunning for that. I wonder if Molly from First Take will give that a shot.

Jemele Hill seemed more focused on other things at the end so fine.

I guess Greenberg is doing ESPN Sportscenter until he show premieres and he's horrible
Comes across like a person with no people skills

With Michael Smith being (for now) the sole host of SportsCenter at 6PM, they dumped the SC6 branding altogether and just made it regular SportsCenter again.

The weird thing is that the show really isn't different from when Michael Smith hosted SC6 solo, either because Jemele Hill was sick, on vacation, or suspended. Not sure if the SC6 branding will come back once Michael gets a permanent co-host.

Seems like they are ditching SC6 branding all together That must suck for Hill because that was part of his identity and they didn't need Hill for that to make it work

Smith is even dumber than Hill, apparently. Hill at least risked her platform for what she thought was right, even though I disagree with throwing your livelihood away for being insubordinate. Smith isn't even a martyr, he's just airing dirty laundry. The only big stance he's taking is to hell with ESPN higher-ups. He also went 3rd person in refering to himself. He'll be in less trouble than Hill, but why risk it? Esp after the fact. The show is dead, move on bruh.

Yea, I understand being salty about having your show nixed and them changing you guys as far as how the show went but Jemele stepped over the line a few times and basically put a target on you guys. Should they have kept the SC6 format with Hill and rotating guest, sure because he complained about how they didn’t have him and Jemele talk enough to each other but that wouldn’t have been a problem. She probably did leave because they changed y’all show so much but some of this was self brought on. I understand being mad because you’re back to square one essentially with your identity being taken away but show them your worth instead of complaining about it.

Yeah, Hill just kept crossing the bosses to the point where they would look bad if they didn't come down on her. If he should be mad at anyone, it's her. Like you guys have pretty much tied your careers together for a while now and she's committing career suicide and you're still tethered to her. But you're not getting whatever you had back, that was probably never an option (backing down) to Hill and ESPN just looks powerless if they tell her to stop and she doesn't and they just let it go. Smith got checkmated, nothing he could do. But move on, don't make it worse just because you have a sour taste in your mouth.
