Eh, its a TV studio. Find me one where people arent always moving. They have to work also. Those studios are just set up in the middle of rooms. TVs, desks, cubicles, computers, coffee makers, water coolers etc are all around.

I think the best part is the Director or Producer who says into the intercom to everyone working "and you guys thought I was a pain." lol.

I don't mind Berman but I can see how he could annoy some people. I believe it's ESPN policy to hire the most annoying people on the planet.

Jamele whoever, Hill I think ( the black chick) on First Take- tries to hang with the fellas when it comes to Talkin sports and usin' that half street/ half educated lingo. Fails though. Sounds like a fuckin idiot.
Rob Parker- EVERYTHING is a race issue
Dana Jacobson- just straight up dumb. She should be a blonde. I can't fathom the idea that there aren't an infinite # of people who would want her job and be sooo much better at it.
Van Pelt- perhaps the most annoying dbag on the air
RyEN whoever- Van Pelts butt partner and biggest competition for most annoying dbag
Chris Mckendry (sp?)- hate her. So dry. Seems like a smug bitch. This is the best they could find for SC?
Mike (black guy who hosts first and ten sometimes)- uggh. Another black guy playing up the Stewart Scott slang and blaccent. Is that not tired by now?
Michael Smith- pretentious moron. Needs a new field cuz he sucks at talking sports.

There are countless others but it would take a week to list em all. I hate ESPNs personalities but there's nothing else to watch to get sports.

Versus (soon to be NBC Sports) is starting to roll out more compelling shows - college football, NFL, live sports talk weekly shows and the like. I doubt they'll have the breadth of coverage that ESPN currently provides, but it's looking like a more and more viable option.

Oh and Dan Le Batard. Caught an episode of his own show yesterday. I think it was the debut. Wanna talk about fail in action. Any network who thinks it a good idea to put his fat face on the air let alone give him his own show is obviously clueless.

This. I was actually showing a friend the background to this story and read that some kid asked him if he ever read Deadspin and Berman said... "Why would I go and do that? That is such a stupid question. What are you, stupid? That is so stupid." It wouldn't be stupid if you weren't so stupid to do shit to get on that site.
