Someone said in another thread that ESPN is basically MTV now. I only watch ESPN for the sports. When they scroll "breaking news" on the bottom such as "Johnny Manziel to stop using the money sign..." you know it's reached a new low.

Cowherd grew on me the last 3 years. My job starts at 10:30 weekdays, and I always tuned in for his first 20-25 minutes as I was heading to work. Personally he won me over as a fan of his because he doesnt come off as a fake, and is actually very smart. He is a moderate overall on everything which is what a national host needs to be.
That said their national radio slots will change big time this year, other than Mike & Mike starting the day off. Cowherd will be gone. Van Pelt already left his 1-4 show as what's his name is taking it over, Van Pelts's on-air partner last couple of years. Van Pelt is doing a new show on ESPN, and from what I gather will be like a late-night show (ala tonight show) with him as host and have guests etc.? Might be pretty good actually as I am fan of Van Pelt. He also has the best espn commercials too.

Cowherd is nothing but a "button pusher" who says whatever he thinks will stir the pot.
I heard him rant for an hour about how NASCAR was stupid because the drivers were obsessed with revenge and retribution like all southern rednecks. But when a caller asked him about the big city Red Sox and Yankees throwing at each other he just cut the guy off.
