maybe they can get jenni carlson to guest on the show.

i gotta admit, though, i find rachel nichols kind of hittable. just me? i doubt it.

but look how cool jeremy schaap is! he wears JEANS...with a BLAZER...and NO TIE. oh jeremy.

Doesn't that photo look exactly like every single "diversity photo" you find on the cover of every college handbook?

"E:60."

Quite possibly the worst name ever for a newsmagazine-type show. This is just an attempt to make a "hipper" Outside the Lines. I give it a month.

Teach Rachel Nichols to blink.

So how in the hell is this different from every other ESPN show?

I'm so sick of this shit about looking to sports as a social construct that does something for somebody.

It's still people running around throwing a fucking BALL.

Why all the post grad English department bullshit?

ESPN == better than you.

What? No Andy Rooney?

S2N is right. CBS tried the same thing with "West 57th" a few years back and it failed miserably.
God, I feel like Grandpa Simpson today; yelling at the young people to get off my lawn..

They look like the stand-ins for How I Met Bob Saget or whatever that shitty show is called.

man,

I was gonna make the West 57th joke. Didn't think someone would beat me to it.

Sadly, they scrapped the Bill Simmons =Andy Rooney idea.

Why do we need this when we already have Real Sports, which doesn't shy away from topics because of rights partner issues, which you know will happen with this show?

If they can get an Andy Rooney wig on Jeremy Schaap and have him attempt to talk in Rooney's voice, I will definitely watch.

Especially if he does a segment about what's on his desk and how he didn't know how so many things were on his desk (something Rooney did a few weeks ago which was simply amazing on many levels).

Maybe Jeremy can channel his dad and finish the show with some Sports Reporters-esque "parting shot."

Of course, if he channels his dad, he'd finish the show every week talking about the 1967 Packers.

Hey remember when Dick Schaap wasn't dead? Yeah...

If Dick Schaap were still alive, I'd still eat at Don's Steakhouse.

Oh, too obscure for you? Tough titties.

My idea: More hard hitting questions from Rachael Nichols.

"Roger Goodell, how did you feel when you found out about the spygate scandal?

"Michael Vick, how did you feel when you found out that you were going to be indicted on dog fighting?

"PacMan Jones, how did you feel when you were making it rain?"

RAY-chul NICK-oles, E-Ess(Pause)Pee-Eeeeeeeen.

Is that Steve the Pirate in the middle?

ill fukk rachel nichols and lisa salters
other than fuck espn
another bullshit show

The show features Lisa Salters. While she's a magnificent reporter, that's not the only skill I appreciate about her. Anything with sexy Lisa on is must-see TV.

Bring back the "point; counter-point" segment from original 60 minutes and parodied by SNL.
Perhaps Harold Reynolds and Woody Paige can debate about sexual harassment with Steve Phillips as a moderator. Maybe Golic can call Greenie "an ignorant slut"

West 57th was actually a good show, but hardly a few years back. Try over 20 now.

Anyway, unlike some others, I think I'll hold off on what I think of the show until I see at least an episode. I think that might be a good idea...

For future features, I'd like to see:

Why is Don Meredith a recluse?
Will Formula One rookie star Lewis Hamilton have an effect on sports in America, being the only successfull black driver so far?
Disabled NFL veterans, are they getting a fair shake from the league?

Good luck on the show, I'm looking forward to it!

The piece tonight on the mascot and organ transplants was "realer" than you could ever believe.

This from a former reporter and a liver transplant recipient -- now five years post transplant. (Lahey Clinic, Burlington MA)

What a tremendous piece of reporting. How could anyone watch this story and NOT sign a donor card tomorrow ?

Anyone Else angry over Lisa Salters comments on the recent E:60??? In referance to the story and sport she was given to cover, she dismissed it saying "this is not a sport, this is something white people do" Shoe on the other foot and she'd be ran outta television and radio ala Don Imus, but since she's a black woman insulting whites it's acceptable? I will NEVER watch another second of her reporting, ever.
