    And also, I mean, the B1G has actual coastal states. Part of #our rich tradition in the B1G is having shores, beaches and coasts.

    Yeah are they just giving him a list of front office contacts? I don't think that's how that works. Relationships are important.

    they’re just laundering news from agents and GMs. Passan’s rep is surely good enough to keep the self-serving gravy trains going.

    I don’t think it’s an “awful show” and I did use to enjoy watching it, but I haven’t watched much in the last 20 years so it’s not like I’ll miss it on TV.

    That said, it did allow for people like Pablo Torre and Mina Kimes to breakthrough at ESPN and it’s sad that particular opportunity won’t be there in the future.

    Yeah once they stopped doing solely the dinosaur sportswriters (Woody Paige/Tim Colishaw/Bill Plaschke/Bob Ryan/Jay Mariotti) and started bringing in the youth it got better

    It was a breakthrough idea when they started. Shame ESPN has basically given up innovation and just buys TNT talent now.
