If Gil is Skip Baseless, then Rashad must be his Shannon Sharpe. Is it obvious?

Nobody can know the game better than the player they understand the moments the pressure the skill level and the work to get there.

[@snomelc920J]

Nothing can replace the fan's perspective. Podcast by players provide better insight. But we can never have y'all perspective. We aren't pros. Your insight is needed. But fan perspective is a pivotal part of sportscasting.

Podcasts are a throwback to Talk Radio, so the older folk get drawn in by the nostalgic feel of it. The young folk are drawn in because of the engagement through social media, so they get to feel like they can stay connected and they get to feel like their opinions are heard and matter. 🤔🎙️📻🤷🏽‍♂️

[@johnnnydemerson7194]

when skip left ESPN I was back and forth when Shannon came on I never watched first take again but he left I left and never watched undisputed again

[@UppurMGMT]

The disrespect got out of hand and it was only a matter of time before Shannon had enough. The minute Shannon started bringing props and doing club shay shay I stopped tuning in to see skip. Instead of grooming Shannon and letting him take over the show he started resenting the hire and he sabotaged the show. Shannon needs to bring Night cap to prime time and do a real late night tv show for sports.

[@KevinLuna]

Kay Adams is great and asks about the family and kids and is so fascinated with their lives and gives us great info. She stays curious and never acts like the expert. She asks questions like it's her first time learning, even though she knows the answers. Gets the players to open up in a unique way.

[@keithkapphillipjr191]

My only issue I have with players saying a journalist never played but if someone has done the research and put the time in to learn the game and has covered the game for a lengthy amount time played or not they also share perspective that players don't have. If we went on this philosophy then there wouldn't be no news because that's how this world works. People study to talk about topics that they have covered for decades. Now my issue is not every player that has played needs to talk either because of the lack of journalism skills it's more emotional talking than actual facts and that's what players say journalist don't have so which one is it cuz it can't be both.

Gil’s face on the thumbnail was my reaction when I heard the news 😂

[@parlangua89]

watching sports my entire life and never playing at a professional level. i can say i've never been a fan of the debate format shows. Gil's Arena, JJs podcast, All the Smoke, and The Pivot is what i would like to see on TV. I'm a fan but i love the stories yall give. Keyon was my favorite player growing up and hearing his stories on The Pivot was soo good. Love what yall are doing and wish this could be the norm on main stream television. cause the debate stuff going all the way to Cold Pizza was just and is just terrible. But i understand a lot of the fan like that cause they see people that are talking about a team or a player and know that that person never played and are saying the same thing they say and can relate. I find commentating of sports games to be the same way less with the NBA by some, but narratives during a football game is wild to me and if you listen to a game your opinions of the teams change based one what the commentators are saying. so i just mute now. But love yalls show wish i could watch it on Foxsports 1 or ESPN but till then imma rock it on YT.
