Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre took a smart approach to TV sports chat shows, and they averaged 330,000 viewers. But that number -- which is more than double the viewership of FS1's top sports talk show -- wasn't enough to keep ESPN from canceling (https://twitter.com/Ourand_SBJ/status/1232114133589536769) High Noon on Monday. "The narrative that High Noon's ratings were abysmal just isn't true," says Jimmy Traina. "No matter what the spin is, I believe the cancellation was more about fit than numbers."

I'm glad it was cancelled. Bomani Jones is bigot and doesn't know much about sports. If you don't believe me, just try watching this scumbag for 5 minutes...if you don't throw up first.
