OT…Have sports debate shows run their course?

They exist because sports networks need to fill airtime. I think the first on TV was probably Cold Pizza with Skip and Woody Paige. That started back in 2003. I think that the model is Mike and the Mad Dog. In any case, with the rise of podcasts and shows like Pat McAfee's I can't believe that anyone watches those things anymore. ESPN was better when they filled the dead air with replays of Mountain West CBB games and Australian Rules Football.

There isn’t a right or wrong answer but it just seems like they’ve kinda run out of ways to argue with each other.

Skip Bayless new show is barely watchable anymore 

Skip Bayless has been unwatchable for years.

I don’t watch any ESPN unless they have a game I want to see. A bunch of guys all talking/yelling over each other at the same time has ZERO appeal to me. 

 

I find Dan Patrick to be the best option in terms of that type of entertainment. He didn’t do the same flawed formula, and I appreciate that.

I really enjoy Colin Cowherd but NOT his cohost Jason McIntyre, who is insufferable and says some really stupid things sometimes.

 

I also enjoy the new First Take now that Shannon Sharpe is on the show. It's the one show that ESPN actually got right now...

 

Other than that, the others are full of Jets cheerleaders and washed up talking heads.
