Not to mention “scapegoat for cordcutters”, ushering in the inevitable collapse of cable.

You cut the quote short.

“Around the clock? Sports? That’s never gonna work.”

My first assumption was Skipper is about to be accused of heinous actions of sort and he wants to lay the groundwork now that he’s not a bad person, just a drunk or something

This person has created everything that exists here at ESPN

I like Dan. But I’m worried he will look like an idiot when the true reason for Skipper’s resignation emerges. Cynical. Sad. But probably likely.

+1 you’re with me, weather

+1 screaming jackass

“Wow, when he said he was hooked on the white stuff I had no idea...”

This is quite a shock, since there has been virtually no substance at ESPN for many years now.

Continuing to let Kornheiser and Wilbon on the air.

Maybe it’s just because this has been such an absolute shitshow of a year, but something tells me that there’s a bigger reason behind his leaving and that coming out first with admission of substance addiction will lay the groundwork for a future excuse when past behavior gets brought up.

It’s pretty weird for him to refer to underage girls’ bodies as a “substance,” but my thoughts and prayers are with him in this trying time.

Substance = dirty underwear of female employees

I had John Skipper in my office pool.

Since it is only a calf injury, must have been bovine intervention.

American culture has filtered in a weird way over there.

Before we leap to condemn him here we have to remember that Griezmann is French and therefore was raised in a different culture. A cowardly, racist culture.

I feel like this is maybe one of those things were Europeans don’t have the self awareness like Americans do that blackface is wildly inappropriate today. I’m not excusing it, but clearly no one was around to tell him why this might not be the greatest idea. Don’t they still have a holiday/celebration in the…

It’s also Rex Ryan’s pet name for his wife.
