This isn't Wisconsin tho

He worked on his jumper

Eh I guess we'll see how it pans out. But I'm not a believer
 
He shot below 30% from three in the D-League last year and in both last year's preseason and this year's preseason

FS1 isn't bad. Undisputed Is just their rip off of first take.

 
With the lone exception that it's much less gimmicky than First Take, at least so far. I was worried Skip was just taking the antics somewhere else, but he seems much more reserved and reasonable (except about the Cowboys, of course), and Shannon Sharpe is actually attempting to enunciate his words, so that's nice, too. I thought Undisputed would be part Skip being a friggin' homer, part Shannon Sharpe chewing on words so badly that you couldn't understand a fucking thing. Both are doing better than expected, thus far.

First take is completely atrocious now. It was bad before but now Stephen A is just being a fucking prick the whole time. He literally says something awful to Max Kellerman every ten minutes. Poking and prodding at each other is fine but Stephen A outright insults Kellerman on the reg.

It's so obvious what Stephen A is doing that it just comes of as silly.  Like, dude... you're trying way too hard to be this character.

If you guys are sick of the generic sports talk just give LeBatard's radio show a shot. The overreacting, hot take sports talk is exactly what he hates and that's why his show is good. Plus it's actually funny if you get into their style.

I don't understand how they think this character is beneficial to viewership. They'd have twice as many viewers if he'd act like a fucking human being instead of a caricature. The guy should stick to writing and get off TV.

Nah, ESPN knows what they're doing.
 
People watch just so they can go onto reddit, or some other message board and talk about how much they hate him.  It's happening right now.
 
He said something about the Redskins after they beat the Eagles, and the Redskins subreddit had several threads about how much he sucks, and linked to his rant, just giving them more hits.

Would the 05 Pacers have made it to the finals if the Malice never happened?

Still feel like Pistons beat them like they did the year before

not interested in the Miami slant since they still hate Cleveland

 

[buzzy]

They only really talk a lot of Miami in the local hour and Dan never really bashes anyone, when the other people on the show do it's more in a funny, half-heartedly way anyway. 
And there isn't much to bash the Cleveland for right now anyway, the hate is much more Warriors oriented.

sad that our 3best bigs won't even come CLOSE to the playoffs

AD, boogie and KAT

Here I thought Minnesota picked up a great win last night. Instead I find out they pretty much played the Grizzlies D-League affiliate. 

 

[Paulius]

Wins a win

 

[Mexi]
