Smith's dominance and the way he is getting power during a contract year at ESPN, how the Mannings, Pat McAfee, and Stephen A. Smith are leading the programming of ESPN.

I actually enjoy Dan’s thoughts on sports media. He’s been there done that.

[@anotherelvis]

I love that Pat McAfee tells positive stories. Let's celebrate greatness instead of putting people down.

[@Realcool1525]

Cam and Mase, MacAfee, sharpe changed the game for sports media.

[@AngelRivera-hh1mr]

McAfee Show puts me in a good mood. This show along with Highly Questionable use to do the same but these days, it's hit or miss with miss being the majority.

[@jerryminta9678]

Last couple of years of HQ were 🐕 💩

[@jasonmoore5824]

Skipper should force Dan to watch 3-5 episodes of new heights, McAfee for 2-3 days...and he'll see why he has been passed by The most fun and likeable guy ESPN had for a decade, Dan and his crew, now just sounds part angry and bitter, part sad & reflective. This show is just depressing now.

[@vinnym1596]

Dan, you can talk about sports media without apologizing. We like your show for a reason. Stop apologizing to the dolts.

[@micahbinns2740]

Shannon Sharpe to me is different in a way. Hes the only dude i can think of in sports that has a bigger career outside of talking about sports with his interviews on club shay shay

[@chri6393]

Man, Dan's segment start is about 60% too long

[@anca3028]

Kenton need to be hired as Player/Coach. That way he can get all the shine or all the blame

[@youngair24]

I think we see through Doc The generation before loves him

[@TheRealMichaelP]

Don’t forget Cam and Mase …

[@omardevonlittle3817]

Dan doesn't respect black men

[@EssAhrBee]

They're trash

[@EssAhrBee]

​@@omardevonlittle3817 Roy? Amin? Stephen Jackson? Matt Barnes? Bruh, grow up.

[@bigr2305]

​@@EssAhrBeegood thing Cam and Mase couldn't care less about your opinion 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@EssAhrBee]

@@bigr2305 And apparently Dan and co. care even less about theirs 🤣😂 **Mute**

[@dsel307]

I can understand why Dan has an obsession with his own profession, perfectly logical. I just don’t understand how he thinks it makes good content. I’ve heard these same lines from him 100 times now 😭

[@jasonmoore5824]

100? you must have started listening last month? Lol I swear he's said the exact same lines about the exact same people about 1,000 time in the last 3 yrs. The epitome of 'the broken record.'

[@jamesbingham1007]

AI is going to put these guys out of business.

[@4biz]

DAN.YOUR RIGHT ABOUT MOST OF THIS.I DONT EVEN LIKES ESPN ANYMORE EVER SINCE YOU&SOME OF THE OLD GUARDS LEFT ESPN.YOU.SARAH,BO,PAPI,KAITE,EVEN JEMELE.ATLEAST IT WAS FUN BEFORE THE MOUSE BOUGHT IT OUT&YALL WASNT FUN ANYMORE

[@strawhatsanji4985]

This just sounds like pure hating. Y'all so call journalist gotta remember, athletes always said and I quote "We can do what you can do but you can't do what we can". The reason why athletes grow fast is because people want to hear it from someone that did it. Not people that trash athletes when they have a bad game like you can do better. Plain and simple, Stephen A realized that, which is why he mostly hires past athletes because he understands how to stay relevant. The saying goes don't hate the player hate the game.

[@user-hf4wp3tx6o]

With everyone having podcasts no need for espn

[@veenom1979]

McAfee is just positive, that's why I watch his show. Everything else is stupid takes on a day in day out basis.

[@johnny_cakes]

stephen a. has become a meme

[@edfa3706]

Stephen a smith and skip are no longer needed. Stephen will get a reality check on been He try’s to leave ESPN. His podcast numbers is small compared to the retired athletes. Unk and reddick are the future

[@Pittie21]

TOXIC

[@pve6041]

Bro sounds like a hater stills

[@xxphactor]

Ok, a lot of Athletes are starting to take off in the media space. But at the end of the day, they also are starting to be the same. For example, if something happens on Sharpe's podcast, then EVERYONE is eating off his plate for content.The allure of athletes platforms are BTS stories. They need to deliver that because they ain't no damm journalists.

[@tedmich]

LOL the little children these old bitter non athletes used to make their careers are now eating their lunches! Hilarious!!!

[@CatNip555]

Pat killed Stephen A. Pats a football guy the number 1 sport in america and on ESPN. Who cares about The NBA. There all be second fiddle to pat in the nfl.

[@bigr2305]

Guess the McAfee show is for a targeted audience cause that 💩 is corny as hell to me.

[@anca3028]

I am so tired of Stephen A. Smith.. He just so much nonsense... Sounds like your Ex just needing to hear himself..

[@KingGreqo]

I’m not. It’s interesting seeing how he navigates all the new changes to retain/maintain his spot. Dan has educated about how much is happening in this media business behind the scenes

[@Acepilot12345]

Then don't watch his shows?

[@anca3028]

@@Acepilot12345 I don't!!! Just nonsense!!! BILLY Gill for President
