Bomani Jones' producer Shannon.... nah man, can't stand the dude. I know Bomani had to go to great lengths to get him and apparently they have a prior host-producer relationship, but man.

 

[mr marcus]

Haven't listened to Bomani in a month or two...Shannon dude is annoying now? He didn't say too much when I listened

He's the 'making up the take while he's in the middle of the take just so he doesn't get caught without a take' guy.

Richard Deitsch:

The fascinating life of André René Roussimoff would make for a great documentary but last week’s report that Bill Simmons and well-respected sports documentarian Jon Hock (Unguarded, The Best That Never Was, Survive and Advance, Of Miracles and Men) have teamed up for an HBO doc on wrestling icon Andre The Giant is false. Reached on Thursday by SI.com, Hock confirmed that he’s never talked to Simmons or HBO about such a project and he is not working on any Andre The Giant film.

ESPN confirmed that commentator Stephen A. Smith, who hosted SportsCenter last Friday, will host SportsCenter again in the future. Given Smith has the backing of ESPN executive vice president of programming and production John Wildhack and Rob King, the company’s senior vice president of SportsCenter and news, as well as a large, long-term contract, he’s become one of the most powerful on-air people at ESPN.

ESPNU and SEC Network have hired six new analysts and four new play-by-play commentators for the upcoming men’s college basketball season including analysts Glen “Big Baby” Davis, Andrew DeClercq and John Pelphrey (SEC Network) and Jason Capel, Antwan Jamison, and Chris Spatola (ESPNU) and play by play voices Ted Emrich, Alex Faust, Kevin Fitzgerald and Jenn Hildreth (all ESPNU).

It's been up for almost a week, I think. It is a little strange considering the cold nature in which it shut down though.
