Sodboy13 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We're about four months out from Clay denying the Holocaust for clicks, five months out from him co-hosting a debate show on FS1 for about $4 million a year, and twelve months out from his wife filing for divorce because he's banging co-host Britt McHenry. 4 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

The_Admiral Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well, I googled it, of course, he's a host on Fox Sports 1. GOD DAMN IT. Does anyone actually sit down and watch Fox Sports 1 in earnest, or does it only exist for people to get Mad Online about? That is its only relevance. It's self-parody at this point! So apparently he went on TV and just said "uhhh, I love boobs" and even that was enough to make everyone angry. Get rid of this stupid channel, no one needs it, it provides no service, it's only noise. The Jemele Hill story was bad enough without this guy. Go back to being the racing channel and put postseason baseball on channels that matter. F-ck Fox Sports 1 I hate it. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left last year as then boss, Jamie Horowitz offered him a TV show but under the guise he didn't talk politics. Travis declined. Fox Sports licenses its name to iHeart Media to brand their sports radio stations as "Fox Sports Radio". Before going out on his own circa 2013 on NBC Sports Radio and FS1 on TV, he was a co-host on a popular radio show Nashville and left as he thought Cumulus was low balling him. He's a cross between starter kit of Paul Finebaum + Sean Hannity (his radio show) and Barstool Sports (his website). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSBP naturally reacted immediately, demanding she kiss the tip of his gold-plated and likely toenail-growing metaphorical penis. ESPN then rushed to find a POC to fill her gap during the next SportsCenter. They all refused. She was then put out there anyway. There's a lot of weird quasi-apologies and mixed-truths floating around now, but ultimately it appears nothing came of it except for more arguments over the "Stick To Sports" movement that has birthed from mostly Twitter scum wanting to get their local sports beat writers to not make them feel guilty for being bigots/racists/general useless white fartknockers. Jamele's just looking for a way to stay relevant and generate some ratings for that 6pm SportsCenter that no one's watching. And if there's anything I've learned over the years, a desperate person will often go the "race route" to be their Hail Mary effort.

What prompted her tweets would likely get this thread locked, so since it's now a national story, her thoughts are pretty easy to find. To place it around sports, the weekend of the US Women's Open, "something else occurred" nationally. You live in ACC country, think "WaHooWa". She is employed by ESPN and is on the 6pm SportsCenter, that's always had relevance. Now, I agree with Yahoo's Pat Force as the Trump Administration (because the Press Secretary speaks for the President) has now made Jemele Hill, not infamous, but famous. https://mobile.twitter.com/YahooForde/status/908057704069033989 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your Penn State is off network TV will you just turn to radio and drink those Paterno endorsed brews, or will you watch cable? GTFO! Bob Iger's second follow on Twitter was Jemele.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Bill Simmons posted a podcast yesterday with Nathan Fielder of "Nathan For You." I'm only halfway through, but it's kind of interesting. Simmons gives himself credit -- deservedly so -- for introducing Nathan Fielder to a wider audience. At the same time, while Simmons appreciates Fielder for what he's doing on his show, I don't get the impression that he quite gets it. You'd have to listen to the show, but they go on a tangent about steampunk (and steampunk porn), and Fielder overall laps Simmons (and stupid Tate Frazier) in the discussion. It's to be expected, because Fielder is a skilled comedy writer and Simmons is not. But that's not to say the podcast is bad -- it isn't! I appreciate Simmons continue to bring different voices into the Ringer universe, even if sometimes they're a bit weird.

The_Admiral Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 We all love Katie Nolan but I'm gonna make everyone mad at me and say that Garbage Time was bad television. I mean, it was a bad format for television: it's tough to watch a show where one person sits at a desk and talks at you with no audience but a couple crew members giggling. I didn't like it with The Soup and I really didn't like it with Keith Olbermann's various shows, where I always got the feeling that gaffers who insufficiently reacted to Keith's "more like George Shrub" comedy bits would be the recipients of ten-page memos about what terrible employees and human beings they were. So here's hoping she gets away from FS1, which was always a dumb home for Approved Sports Thoughts in the first place, and goes somewhere where she can thrive.
