A Dennis Miller sports program failing was as inevitable as the sun rising. Miller is as smarmy as Joe Buck and hasn't been funny since Weekend Update in 1991.

It would have to show the flubs and dumb things that people can get at ... Awful Announcing, already.

I was going to say the same thing Hank said above... doesn't it sound like it's going to be basically what we get here?

Thanks to the love of my life making me watch shows I hate.

Matt Iserman is from the Style Network's Clean House. He makes the show tolerable. He is a funny bastard and can handle what is being asked of him. The question of this show's success will be based upon writing and quality of material they are making fun of.

I think people do want sports and comedy, it's just that no one has done it right on TV yet. Look at how many humor/sports blogs there are out there? There is a demand, it just has to be quality.

I can't see ESPN allowing their clips to be used. Or do they not have any say in the matter?

LOL it's going to be home video of skateboarders cracking their nuts, dumb bull riders, etc.
it will be NOTHING like we talk about here or spoofing shows like the real talk soup! they know that nobody cares except us that pam ward is terrible.

A dude who hosts on the Style Network? Really?

I have a feeling it's going to be like Blog Show but Anon 1:52 could be right.

I met Dan and Jamie once and they said that the original vision for Blog Show was something along the lines of The Soup.

You always hear about "The Daily Show with Sports" projects being made but they always fail. The problem is that it's always ESPN or other sports networks who are trying to create them. A big, possibly the biggest, part of the Daily Show is pointing out the idiocy that occurs on the "real" news shows and networks. Because The Daily Show is on the relatively independent Comedy Central, they show no favoritism in their snark. But since a sports-focused comedy show is almost always on ESPN, FSN, or Versus, they cannot achieve the same level of impartiality and will always suck up to the parent network. Remember all the serious promoting Dennis Miller had to do for Versus' bull riding coverage?

That said, I think this show will fair better than any other recent attempt. Since The Soup is one of those few shows not afraid to make fun of its own network, it's possible that this one may have the same ideology. However, I do think twice a week is too much (once is enough), and I think they could have gotten a bigger comedian. (Although who knows how well-known Joel McHale was prior to The Soup.) If the people behind this show are smart, they should get some bloggers who are well-versed in sports snarkiness to help write for it. I think they could pull it off.

He has to be funnier than Joel McHale who still holds the world record for the least funniest person in the world 2003-present.

Gmoney: Guess you've never heard of Dane Cook?

I thought CBS owned E!. and NFL FILms Fottball Follies is good.
