ESPN’s flagship shoutfest, First Take, has long and rightly been reviled for degrading everyone and everything it touches. Until co-host Skip Bayless departed earlier this year, that didn’t seem to matter at all to its loyal core audience, which happily tuned in each day no matter how repulsive or just plain stupid the proceedings were. Compared to same point last year, though, its ratings are down six percent (ESPN contends that it’s actually only four percent), and that actually masks how bad things are. Until June 21—Bayless’s final day on the program—ratings were actually up six percent compared to the same period in 2015. Since his departure, the show’s ratings are down a whopping 26 percent. Meanwhile, Second Take, the First Take, has drawn a respectable average o…

Miller (@Indymmiller) January 5, 2020"Put aside all the hurt feelings. Put aside all the egos. Put aside all the issues and politics and concentrate on great wrestling matches and big business," Jericho said. "I haven't been doing this at the highest of levels for 29 years, as what some people say as the greatest of all-time, as a stupid businessman. I can see the amount of money that…
data-mm-id=”_iqmvthfgq”>The NBA must be pretty annoyed by the way the New Orleans Pelicans are using Zion Williamson in the Disney bubble. Williamson playing 15 minutes a night cannot be what the league envisioned when they went out of their way to include the Pelicans in the league's restart and heavily feature the Zion and the Pelicans with six prominently televised games. So far, the amount of time, effort, money and resources it has cost the league to include the Pelicans has not been worth it.When the NBA put together this Disney bubble to finish their season and crown a champion, they made it a top priority to have Zion Williamson involved. That meant bringing his sub-.500 team which had a slim chance of making the playoffs. In order to invite the Pelicans, they also had to …
data-mm-id=”_gjhewfy10″>Deshaun Watson, who is in the next-to-last year of his rookie deal, is criminally underpaid. He's set to make just $4.4 million this season after quarterbacking the Houston Texans to the playoffs in both his second and third years in the NFL. As a reward, Bill O'Brien traded away DeAndre Hopkins. So now Watson has to do more with less while he tries to stay healthy until he can sign his own version of Patrick Mahomes' contract.https://t.co/d7EoYdbx7k pic.twitter.com/KLVskTqrDS— Deshaun Watson (@deshaunwatson) July 6, 2020Then there is his backup, AJ McCarron. The former Alabama star signed a 1-year deal with the Texans worth $3 million in 2019. He started one game last season – the fourth of his career. He completed 21 of 36 passes for 225 yards…
data-mm-id=”_cxfzrlc2i”>Whether he read it or not, the Eagles tried to pump Carson Wentz up before he faced the then 2-7 Giants. Instead of instilling confidence in the signal-caller, the news leak looks as ugly as Wentz's performance this season following another dismal display against a lowly opponent. Coming off a bye week and with most of the Eagles' primary offensive weapons returning from injury, Wentz put together arguably his most disappointing showing in the worst season of his career in a game the Eagles needed to win. While he didn't commit a turnover, he did fumble the ball twice and wasn't able to generate any offense. He completed only 56.8% of his passes and finished with 208 passing yards and zero touchdowns. The Eagles lost 27-17 and are now 3-5-1. …
data-mm-id=”_r4fn5ygsu”>The New York Jets tweeted three images of head coach Robert Saleh golfing on Thursday morning in celebration of the start of The Masters. Well, kind of. The pictures were more in celebration of Robert Saleh's incredibly jacked physique. Guy looks like Arnold is about to interrupt his round to go on a mission in the jungle.It’s Masters week. What’s Coach Saleh shooting at Augusta? #themasters pic.twitter.com/oAsmtHrvfK— New York Jets (@nyjets) April 6, 2023Check out Bryson DeLambeau over here. NFL Network's Kyle Brandt certainly did. For at least 10 minutes that we know of because that's how long the video was that he released yesterday celebrating Saleh's action figure arms. There were no cuts either. This was just Brandt firing off tho…
