Replaced by Michelle Beadle, who increasingly looks like a person who hates her job.
YoloinOhio Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Nooooooo Anyone else remember when Beadle was dating Matthew Barnaby
Maury Ballstein Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Never been a fan of Sage. She seems uppity and I doubt she eats carbs.

Replaced by Michelle Beadle, who increasingly looks like a person who hates her job. Smart move by Sage. She can now increase her salary ten-fold at Fox News now.

Royale with Cheese Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Nooooooo Anyone else remember when Beadle was dating Matthew Barnaby Didn't he verbally abuse her or something?
PromoTheRobot Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Didn't he verbally abuse her or something? Made her watch tapes of him playing.
YoloinOhio Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Didn't he verbally abuse her or something?it was nasty, can't remember specifics.
FireChan Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Ridiculous. If I'm Sage, I scream hate crime. Edited April 5, 2017 by FireChan
RyanC883 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Sage was good. Loss for ESPN to remove her from that show. And she is not the only ESPN person making political comments. They all do it, and it's annoying. Unless it's sports related (kneeling during the Anthem) I prefer to get my political news from news channels. I watch sports to relax. Yes, sometimes they intersect, but not that often.
dwight in philly Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 ESPN = Disney = MSM = liberal garbage. Well said ESPN is dying..

BADOLBILZ Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/04/05/sage-steele-replaced-on-espns-on-nba-countdown-amid-networks-decision-to-limit-political-commentary.html I wasn't aware any of this occurred. Replaced by Michelle Beadle, who increasingly looks like a person who hates her job. Yea that job typically goes to a model-type with a sleek look like Steele and the jowly Beadle probably tires of the hours of makeup prep to look like somebody she's not.......which kinda' undermines her "one-of-the guys" shtick.
Jauronimo Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 matthew had ex-wife and ex-girlfriend troubles michele was likely advised to move on That's speculation. What we do know is that Barnaby hates garage doors, thinks driving on the right is completely arbitrary, and believes three wheeled performance vehicles are the future of automotive engineering. Lets stick to the facts. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/espn-matthew-barnaby-dui-sabres-269919
BuffBillsForLife Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I can't believe Disney is still keeping ESPN around. It's been hemorrhaging money for years. It really just needs to be nothing but actual sports broadcasts and sportscenter. Y'know, the two things people actually turn to ESPN to see.
VirginiaMike Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I think Sage was good at her job and knows sports. That said, when you work for someone and represent them, you have to toe the company line, or at least not slap it in the face. I've never been a big Michelle Beadle fan as I think he tries to cover up her lack of knowledge by making strange, unrelated comments.

It really just needs to be nothing but actual sports broadcasts and sportscenter. Y'know, the two things people actually turn to ESPN to see. You do realize that "actual sports broadcasts" are what is making ESPN hemorrhage money, don't you? Broadcasting rights contracts have killed it ESPN, they have way overpaid and they over-saturated the market. Sports on tv used to be special, now it's every single night on 7 different channels. Should have kept it simple like the 90s: 12 am - 2am: 30 min - 1 hour shows focused on sports that are currently active - ex. baseball tonight, nhl tonight, nba tonight, etc. 2am - 12pm: SportsCenter. Record the 2am SC and replay it over and over again with pretty much all highlights of the day. Get rid of all the crap commentary, contributors and extra junk. Show me highlights, some interviews, top 10 plays, etc. 12pm - 4pm: Random recorded sports. Think world strongest man, ping pong, darts, curling, whatever. 4pm - 6pm: Various talk shows: PTI, Around the Horn, Up Close (remember when they actually did 30 min interviews with athletes). This is all the talk show crap this station needs. 6pm - 7pm: SportsCenter. Not this SC6 crap that is absolutely unwatchable. Best highlights from day before, news of the day (the business sides of sports really), and setting stage for biggest games of the night. 7pm - 11pm: Live sports (not same sport every single night...see College BB season and FB season currently - 2-3 nights per week max of same sport). Original programming (30 for 30 for example - this used to be every Tuesday and a lot of Fridays) etc. If this was the schedule again, I know I would be watching a whole lot more. Instead, I get my sports fix from MLB Network, NFL Network, live games, and the internet. Edited April 5, 2017 by Mark80

Yeah, get rid of First Take, Dan Le batard show, and whatever else there is.
