ESPN to give Sage Steele morning role, perhaps with Mike Greenberg

By Michael McCarthy, The Sporting News

ESPN is poised to announce Sage Steele is returning to Bristol in a morning anchor role, sources tell Sporting News.

Steele could join Mike Greenberg on his new solo morning show that will air on ESPN, said sources.

The new "Greeny & Friends"-type show will be shot in New York. If ESPN is willing to break up the 17-year partnership between Greenberg and Golic, you better believe the Worldwide Leader in Sports going to throw massive marketing support behind Greenberg's new program.

Previously, ESPN tried to recruit Fox Sports 1 rising star Katie Nolan to work with Greenberg, with ESPN president John Skipper himself personally wooing Nolan.

Steele also could slide into a morning "SportsCenter" anchor slot on whatever programming replaces the current "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on ESPN2. "Mike & Mike" will likely morph into a radio-only show with Trey Wingo teaming up with Golic in place of Greenberg.

Of course sportscenter is talking more than they need to about aaron hernandez. 5 minutes is all that was needed. Now they're analyzing and talking about how good he was on the patriots.

Why shouldn't they lead and speak on this for more than 5 minutes? Not understanding your gripe here. A former Pro Bowler killed himself under the age of 30. It is clearly news

 

[nt-criminals]

The media need to tell real stories about players. Some players could have a criminal history of charges and been holding pockets at a prison and no one watching the games would know unless they can remember decades ago.

"A murderer hanged himself". That's all that needed to be said. They were analyzing his murder cases and his playing days like it was all new. It didn't need to be covered all day. nfl network mentioned it a few times but returned to their regular programming.
