I don't wanna broach the topic too much or break forum rules, but wow, I wonder how much trouble Dan could get in trouble for his rant today. I'm biased, but I thought that was awesome, he just skewered ESPN.
He also has a habit of strategically planning these things around scheduled vacations to make it look like he got suspended, but that felt a bit more organic lol
They are gonna have to take a stance, and no matter what they do they are certain to piss off a lot of people.

Dan is nowhere near as funny as he thinks he is, but when he is serious, he is arguably the most compelling personality in the industry of sports/sports media.

I noticed he saved it for the end of the show. Also yes, he's not in today. edit: He came back after missing the first national hour fwiw.

Dan was 100% right in everything he said about the subject and ESPN's cowardice in the Pitaro-era.

I do wonder if this doesn't work out and Dan quits or lewves eventually, does Papi stay with ESPN? He is one of their most likable personalities.

Lol that was an ominous opening to Highly Questionable just now. It started with just Stugotz & Papi in the kitchen (I mean 'at the beach'-- I mean on set ) and Dan sent in a camera phone video saying he's stuck at LaGuardia and can't make it to the show today, adding that he didn't really want to mention why he was even in NYC today. ...And the ominous-ness continues, as Dan sends in more camera videos giving his expert opinions on each sports story of the day as per usual (just in a much quieter tone of voice, since he's saying these takes WHILE RIDING ON THE PLANE!)

He was supposed to co-host Highly Questionable today, but his plane was stuck on the tarmac and he couldn't make it back in time. So he gave takes from 30,000 feet high.
This was the best one because of the captain over the plane's PA mid-Odell take.

What's weird is that it's Friday. Odd enough that he would have to fly up there mid-week to begin with, though I guess maybe not all that weird considering the hot water he's probably in with the higher-ups. But if you have no radio show tomorrow, no HQ tomorrow, and you already know you're missing HQ today, why not fly out later and film your takes literally anywhere else? I like the radio show and HQ seemingly laid back, but this just honestly seems unprofessional.

Yeah, all the radio show starter-kit memes. Very cool, guy. It just comes off as Dan not giving a shit or being passive aggressive towards the higher-ups. I don't understand how any and all negative views of anything LeBatard falls under them being on-brand as some sort of trump card (no oun intended) for any criticism.

Because it's literally the most on-brand thing for Le Batard to hastily give his takes from his delayed flight whispering into his phone under a blanket while being interrupted by the pilot over the PA or the flight attendant. It's the very essence of the show.
At least you admit to not getting the show. Now stop making yourself look foolish and stop posting about it.

Just because I don't think that everything under LeBatard is above criticism, or rather below criticism, isn't an excuse to be continually snarky. It reminds me of the smartest of the smarks type discussions in wrestling. Fans who try and annoint themselves above other fans, like some sort of badge of fandom.

And you're acting like the guy who tells wrestling fans that wrestling isn't real.

And you're acting like the guy who tells wrestling fans that wrestling isn't real. Yes, the tired cliche that everyone hates. Listen, there's not a catch-all for everything.

www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article233441347.htmlSome pretty major shakeups on the Gravy Vampire's home market. Le Batard's own show is being moved from its original home of 790 the Ticket to 560 WQAM, which Entercom (who owns both stations) is trying to turn into a more national vehicle while keeping 790 as more a local one. As for how this affects the show, this will effectively kill the Local Hour. So South Florida locals and podcasters just get the 10-1 national show. RIP Local Hour.

Mike assures that the local hour will continue in some form:
I would assume it'll be podcast-only.

Where Dan been? He wasn't on HQ all last week, and wasn't on it today.
