    Agree @alam1108 -- they've weakened Woj and his hard work in an effort to push ESPN's brand. I understand, but don't like it.

    Hearing an ESPN podcaster's frustration about people not really liking LeBron used to be the most fun thing on the ESPN site for me.

    I don't enjoy saying it but the organization deserves it.

    Source?

    No. He and Max just scream at eachother across the table for 2 hours every day. They’re occasionally joined by that tool Will Cain and then they all scream at eachother, or even a better guest like Damien Woody, and then they all scream at eachother from across the table, while poor Molly tries to talk over them and say who’s coming on the show next or what topic is after the commercial break. Can’t hear a word she says though as the men shout and shout and shout.

    I like Molly. A lot. Jalen Rose is dating her, which almost makes up for the 81 game. ESPN better not fire her.

    So the FOX aquisition helps or hurts ESPN?

    Disney taking over the only conservative media? It hurts conservatives.

    Not a fan of such massive conglomerates, but having a diverse portfolio can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

    I’m not sure anyone can hurt ESPN more than they hurt themselves. They need to evolve or go extinct.

    They do not own Fox News. They just bought the movie studio and the TV Entertainment division.

    I just saw an article in the L.A. Times a couple days ago that said Fox would hang onto the studio and had a diagram of where the property sits. Maybe for just news? Or did the deal change to no longer include the studio in total?

    My understanding is it will take a year to sell for whatever regulatory reasons.

    They'll rent FOX studios for 7 years and then it'll be revisited at that point.

    Disney acquires all the television stations that might qualify for "entertainment" (includes National Geographic for instance), but they will not acquire Fox Sports, FS1 or FS2, or Fox News. Those will be spun off into their own company.
