Yahoo made a great move by buying Sporting News Radio from SN. I agree with what you said about getting a deal with CBS, NBC or FOX. Out of those, three I think NBC would be their best option.like_that;933243 wrote:Yahoo is def gaining talent. I have been using Yahoo alot more than ESPN lately to get my sporting news. It would be nice to see Fox, CBS, or NBC strike a deal with Yahoo sports to get this talent on TV and legimatize themselves as a media sports provider.
I don't like Dan Patrick, but props to him for for leaving ESPN, and starting what seems to be like a trend. Hopefully this teaches ESPN to get their act together.
As for DP, I am a fan of his radio show but I get annoyed a lot when he mentions his emmy's or the fact that he's in some movies(I dont think he is in a movie that doesnt involve Sandler). He is pretty cocky. BTW...Does anyone know where he is from? I know he is an Ohioan and have heard Zanesville but have also heard the Cincy area.

I don't blame Simmons for starting to leave ESPN, he's assembled a better group of writers on Grantland than ESPN could ever do

What kills me is having to listen to Jesse Palmer and Dan Polluck as if they actually know something.
