    PTI is much less of a “debate” style and more just regular discussion. Some things are cut and dry and you don’t need an asshole to be the devil’s advocate about mental health issues.

    ESPN offered him $4 million/year to stay with them and continue spouting bullshit that makes you want to throw your remote through your television. They just got outbid. :idk:

    Eh—Horowitz leaned into it but he’s out. I don’t see much daylight between the two networks other than ESPN being a vastly bigger and longer-running brand, so they’re going to have more room to try other stuff. ESPN’s highest-paid employee is Skip’s old partner in crime, so they obviously still place a lot of emphasis on the outrage model.

    It’s probably because the show has been stale for years, same topics, no new material and most people have stopped watching because Skip act is played out

    He’s not paid to know sports. He’s paid to entertain/get viewers. Him, Stephen A, etc are entertainers before they are sports guys.

    If Dak got a dollar for every time they talked about his contract then he really would make as much Mahomes.
