We continue to get dumber and dumber as a society. I stopped watching ESPN shows a long time ago and now I can't stand any of ESPN's pregame sports coverage anymore. The last one I used to like was ESPN college gameday and even that has gone significantly downhill the last couple of years.
ESPN only wants to keep "personalities" AKA clowns.
It's hard to understand why ESPN would fire Zach Lowe and keep Kendrick Perkins.
This!!! ^^^^ Perkins is a buffoon who continues to embarrass himself.
What's hard to understand? Circus audience come to watch clowns, hence circus hires clowns.
@@D.A.P_100unfortunately I have to agree with you. In today’s social media world, you don’t have to be good, but if you’re loud and outrageous, you get rating.
BRAIN ROT ERA. 🙄
Godspeed to Zach Lowe. Always love his insights with his writing
Great video and analysis Joe…we’ve been seeing this TikTok-ification of sports media over the last few years, coupled with an ever increasing focus on sports betting
Sports media is becoming less about the game, and more about capturing your attention throughout the day
It makes sense from a business perspective, everyone is chronically online and we consume probably more entertainment on our phones than any place else
I miss the 90s when would wake up, went to school, came home, did homework, wondered around for a few hours, ate dinner, and then watch the Lakers game
I’d be glued to that TV for hours 😂
Now I can catch any game or highlight at any point of the day and although convenient, the games themselves are hardly an experience anymore
“JAYSON TATUM GON GIT A FITTY PIECE CHICKEN WING DINNA WIT DA SAUCE”
Thank you for the riveting breakdown Perk
because he makes sense
A mil for Zach doesn’t seem like an overpayment. What’s ESPN doing?
Right, I do not think it was due to pay. Comparatively he was not making a crazy amount.
A mil for Zach is a bargain!
I've said it elsewhere, clearly Zach did not shout loud enough like the loud mouth Stephen A. Smith, nor did he have controversial enough viewpoints. Stephen A Smith is by far the most OVERPAID broadcaster at ESPN at $12M per year 🙄 Stupid thing is Zach is one of the best at what he does, insightful, balanced and methodical. All you are going to get at ESPN are useless pundits that just have viewpoints based on who they root for and NOT facts. I'm switching the channel as soon as the loud mouth comes on anyway.
lowe is the goat bball journalist, the GOAT, the ringer will throw him the bag im sure, espn is a joke nowadays
what makes him the GOAT? Admittedly, i don't watch as much ESPN these days, but my fav has always been Michael Wilbon
It’s so interesting the depth of brainwashing and sheep-think. People regurgitate terms they hear from their idols..and misplace it. Everyone is a “GOAT” to anyone who likes them. This is such an odd era.
Zach Lowe is the best sports journalist out there. Incredible knowledge, insight, writing, best podcast, you name it. If he’s not the GOAT he is GOAT-like. It makes no sense for any company that wants to be the best in their industry to let go of the best.
Man, we all need Inside the NBA right now🧘🏾♂️
World Wide Destroyer of Sports.
Great points. I’m just waiting for Zach to reappear so I can support his new adventure. So smart, great analysis, witty humor, and great person. Wishing the best for Zach
I don't watch ESPN anywhere and don't follow any of the clowns they promote as "analysts".
Let them fire everyone and keep the yelling Stephen A.
Good luck.
Wow. A lot of people liked this guy, and he did his job very, very well.
Never heard of him! I wish they could get steven a to retire !
Two of the guys you mentioned are NBA head coaches.
I only watch sportcenter. I don’t care about the commentary. I just want to know the scores and highlights and interviews
Nice shotout to Jamie Foxx, an underrated talent 💯
For me, I will always be crushed with them letting Jalen Rose go. I learned so much on his show about basketball and different perspectives. Hate Malika.
And the Ringer will get more and more of my time and money.
In all fairness, if Stephen A. got sacked, people would blame him and not the network. So I am not sure it is the media company’s job to monetize Zach’s content. Anyone would stop investing in a stock that does not accrue interest or pay dividends.
That said, he has talent and will likely find something else.
They had the most talented journalist, writer, podcaster in the business for a bargain, while paying insane money for loud people with click-baitey takes. Either it’s their fault for not making it work, or most of us are all too stupid to deserve real content anymore.
DO NOT WATCH ESPN!!!! CLOWNS!!!!!!!!
Is rich Paul still running ESPN?
So, people are smart enough (barely) to know what stupid, click-baity content IS, but it's what they can't get enough of anyway. Of course.
More Stephen A is horribly disgusting and we Knicks Fans can't stand him
I'd a; always wondered why they hired him
The number one jordan attack dog. Steven A Smith is asking a 100 million.
That's capitalism for you: profits over product quality.
The stephen a money walk 😂
Do people want intelligent , well thought out writers? Is he on tick tock? ESPN is poison to sports. I quit watching many years ago. I'm a NBA #1 guy. Put Stephen A on NBA games I'll quit watching that also.
Perk
Because he’s not as handsome as Rob Lowe.
Espn??????,
I wonder if Brian Windhorst is on a hot seat
The entire hoop collective trio
He's Klutch's man, so no.
Windhorst primarily cover LeBron James and now Wimby. He’s not going anywhere 😅
I think he is. He’s smart, insightful, and provides real content. They are definitely going to fire him soon.
Hernandez William Gonzalez Helen Anderson Steven
They need to start over and fire everybody and higher regular people!
Simmons pretending he begin as the same hot take artist as SAS is comedic gold
lol
He was boring, no charisma for tv, u can only go so far as a stat nerd
$1 million salary is pretty far though 😅
I had never heard of Zach Lowe until he got fired. He, like even those I've heard of, does not deserve the money he was getting.
Perhaps you should volunteer to give some of your salary back to your employer, if you even have a job...
He's the type of sport journalist casuals wouldn't know.
ESPN needs to hire a trans person who knows sports. Id start to watch when they finally do this
Yeah no
