Today, ESPN2 becomes The Ocho. And at 4PM Eastern, we have corgi races.
I thought that was important to share.

I love that regardless of everything going on with ESPN and all the controversies or whatever, The Ocho as a tradition has been going for 5 years and almost 20 years since the source material.

I was expecting it on the 8th. Of course it wasn't that day. In the past it's been on the 8th right?

My guess is SAS wanted him gone. Max isn’t leaving the network so it prob wasn’t his decision. National sports media is changing. ESPN doesn’t have the power it used to. I think ESPN is doing everything they can to appease SAS because once he’s gone, the entire debate show format will cease to exist. Might as well milk what they can before SAS hangs it up.

I wouldn't say that I think higher ups see more in SAS vs everyone as opposed to just keeping Max. Max is rumored to get moved around and still going be a big presence but this is same thing like when it was Skip vs everyone before Stephen A came along. Now it is Stephen A vs everyone which is what will get old fast

When was the last time Bart and Hahn hosted Barn and Hahn, at this point just make Bart and Hahn, Bart and Carlin. Carlin has earned the job, I think him and Bart have good chemistry.

Nichols literally got cancelled because of something she said privately which wasn't even wrong. Not about Maria Taylor, but about ESPN. They are absolutely making decisions based on race, which is usually a sign of a network/company that knows it has been unfair regarding race in the past and are trying to make up for it in the least organic way possible. I don't even like Nichols, but she got shafted here. Which I guess isn't surprising since she probably wasn't going to live this down if she stayed on the network, especially when covering a predominately black sport.
I'm glad that she's gone while the guy who on one episode of First Take offended Asians, Nigerians, and mocked Hispanics in a span of about 30 minutes is teflon. Real quality company.

Michael Irving considered as a Max replacement. Imagine the volume of a show of him and SAS yelling at each other.

Nichols deserves better. Yes, what she said was dumb, but ESPN completely threw her under the bus to cover their own discriminatory hiring and talent showcasing practices.

Can we rename ESPN "the Stephen A. Smith Network"?

"we could not verify." if you couldn't verify then maybe they weren't telling the truth...... how can an entire network be that dumb?

This Bishop Sycamore rabbit hole is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in sports. I want a 30 for 30 about all of this because like... how does NO ONE catch any red flags in all of this and allow that "school" to play on ESPN? It blows my mind.

There was an absolute failure of due diligence somewhere along the way and it's real hilarious.

Yeah, I saw this earlier and I agree the 30 for 30 for this needs to happen and it will be glorious
