ESPN won't be the same

NBC Sports’ Dan Patrick says he expects Mike Tirico to eventually replace Al Michaels

The Football Night in America host says he and Al Michaels’ contracts both end after the 2018 Super Bowl in Minnesota, but he has no idea about any succession plan involving the departing Monday Night Football play-by-play announcer. PLUS: Why Tirico dumped ESPN for NBC.

Why Skip Bayless leaving ESPN is bad news for sports fans

Bayless is considered the "Michael Jordan of garbage sports commentary,” as Sam Laird notes. And that kind of commentary could thrive at Fox Sports. PLUS: Fox Sports personalities don’t particularly like Bayless.

I prefer Skip's brother Rick who has a Mexican Cooking show "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"...

Is it me or does he seem to whisper a lot?
