Unproven in what way? He's unproven in terms of someone who gets ratings on an ESPN platform. He's proven in that people were already going to pay him that kind of money based on what he had done with his show for years already. He just decided to take that money from ESPN instead of someone else. This isn't like the FOX deal Tom Brady got or something along those lines.
I couldn't remember the exact numbers but remembered it being something like that. I don't particularly like the guy or his brand, and I'm definitely not going to try to convince anyone else they should. But he was getting that kind of money from someone because of what he and his show have already "proven". And a big part of why ESPN wanted to be that company to do it is because the things he's already done in terms of YouTube/social media traffic are what they wanted. Especially when he and his people are doing all the work in that department.
It’s probably an effective par on that for him. He would have been paying staff, production and overheads from that $120m. I’m sure ESPN are paying for all of that now and he doesn’t have to run a business. Can’t imagine Fan Duel didn’t have a lot of incentives in their deal as well.
I wish he could’ve made 2 chip shot field goals in the biggest game of his fucking life. But that’s in the past. I’m not bitter.
Yea gameday is now unwatchable. I tried but it’s over. McAfee and his whole thing doesn’t bother me. That whole act is what it is. I choose not to watch or listen to his show. But $17 million for this bullshit Vince McMahon hype show? I hate to keep beating a dead horse but Corso makes it as bad as McAfee.
I haven't watched it in like 8 years but I flipped it on yesterday. That crowd looked pretty thin vs what I remember. They tried to hide it with camera angles but they did a few zoomed out shots and it was mostly empty. Also, ESPN is largely unwatchable now.
Cripes, just went through his timeline. Does he wear a black tank top every day? He’s also posted like 50 clips from this afternoon. Who is watching all of those?
Culture is currently being dominated by people who are good at one thing so either they or others think they’ll be good at anything. In this case punting. I blame the EGOT.
I saw that. I went thru The Rock ones and found them to be kind of interesting/entertaining because it's the fucking Rock. Zero desire to watch any of the zillion Aaron Rodgers ones tho
Yet chuds call ESPN liberal and don't realize that the brand is bending over backward to be in their orbit.
Just my opinion but he is terrible. It's not just his takes its his x's and o's break downs when he can produce them. And for the record I thought Reggie Bush was horrible on the big noon kick off.
Espn should give The Rock 50 gajillion dollars to come on the GAMEDAY set every week and insult whatever city they are in like he did Sacramento
team i literally want corso to die on that set because it's clearly what he wants fire off some more muskets and have that big coronary champ
Maybe because we're the gameday generation. You all had to watch it. And now seeing the show drastically change. Corso breaking down so rapidly. I don't know. Not a barstool guy. not a McAfee guy. never watched the show but he doesn't bother me. The tank top thing is Yeah that's a choice.
