Michelle Beadle on the Gauntlet of Sports Media, Career Highs and Lows, & Her Bond with Her Parents

[@xjayfromva7730]

I loved Michelle on sports nation with Marcellus. I’d watch that all the way to the end of pti at 6 everyday. Miss those days

[@Josh-pf9qx]

Always loved her. I was super pissed when she left ESPN the first time

[@michaellee8816]

Sportsnation with Beadle and Cowherd is such an under-rated show, one of the best.......

[@steveknick1978]

Reports are that she's about to join FS1 to work with Carton, so she could have a Cowherd reunion as well

[@Christian-eq6pq]

@@steveknick1978I don’t think they ever liked each other or don’t anymore. Just a business/coworker relationship

[@steveknick1978]

@@Christian-eq6pq ah, okay. I don’t know where Carton does his show…if it’s in NY then she wouldn’t be around Cowherd in LA anyway

They both sucked

[@TRIGAMANIA]

I love Beadle!!!

[@TheEbo34]

Will always have a soft spot for Beadle. Finding out so much about her made me respect her even more. Great conversation.

[@ZareefPusha]

Always been a huge fan of Michelle Beadle. Great episode Dan, thank you for being such a good active listener and interviewer and thank you Michelle for being so vulnerable and true in this hour together.

[@garth0120]

SportsNation was the best daily sports show of all time!

[@Christian-eq6pq]

What’s crazy is, the show was elite during 3 different iterations which is super rare for any show let alone sports show. They continuously changed the hosts and format yet were still one of the best shows on ESPN.

Oh yea i forgot max was on there too he was more serious and Marcellus was more playful

I used to dislike max till they replaced his show with that scrap in the morning now

Oh man, I totally forgot about Marcellus! They were so fun together.

[@s_vincent6942]

This was an excellent discourse!

[@sherigirl47]

Wow, what an amazing, generous, honest & intimate sharing of life experiences by these two special human beings that are so much more than sports media personalities. I will be saving this interview & rewatching it again & again. It is so real. Thank you both so much.

[@AllenInRealLife]

I always loved Beadle on ESPN and this interview made me love her more. Wasn't even planning on watching this but once I started I couldn't stop.

[@HookEmATX1]

This was an excellent show and I loved every minute of it. And also GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nealdranoff6426]

Definition of a fantastic interview: an interviewer asking insightful questions and genuinely listening to his guest combined with the guest not shying away from any questions while providing concise, thoughtful responses. This is it...

[@discostu-e1k]

South Beach sessions is therapeutic for Dan and It is is beautiful. Lost my my mom recently

[@semi6544]

Beadle is awesome. She is so easy to identify with for such a unique personality. Great guest. Can't wait for next season of Run it Back.

[@brettmiller6463]

Michelle Breadle is such an authentic, open-book. Thank you for sharing what are normally really tough stories of family and loss. Really good interview

[@dwaynelee1789]

Great interview. Always loved her passion reporting on sports. Best of luck to her.

[@mattlau95]

Still remember growing up listening to her do traffic for Michael Kay Show on 770 every afternoon in the mid 2005s to see her do SportsNation later on, she was great 😊

Another awesome SB Session

[@ChuckAngelHawk]

That was a blink of an hour an eighteen minutes. Absolutely terrific watch/listen.

[@yuppystick]

In 1997, Michelle was 26 years old and I was 15. We met in a chat room on AOL. She sent me some tantalizing photos. I knew she'd make it big one day because all she ever talked about was sports

[@kristydanielson9677]

I've always been a fan of Michelle, I was legitimately sad when sportsnation went away & ultimately she left. I watch anything I can that she's on. Also miss her podcast, it loved the kayne rants lol also this was a great insight to Dan I watched him on ESPN also but never kept up. This was such a great episode.

[@discostu-e1k]

Thank you. Nothing solved, but you did help

Another great Session of South Beach.. In LA. Best podcast out there, imo.

Great conversation

[@M_A_R_K_23]

Man my dad died last month and I’m handling it like MB at the moment. I work in emergency healthcare I’ve helped saved lives and been in many codes but seeing my dad in the hospital loosing his mind, was completely different and having to tell the healthcare team to stop CPR because he’s in double organ failure is so hurtful. I don’t know the correct way to handle it but man it’s a different kind of pain and having to go back to work and see people twice my fathers age with multiple health issues still living I’m happy for them but human nature makes you just realize how unfair and random life is. Music has been my how I’ve dealt with it so far. Good episode

[@luka_2477]

This was such a great session. The part about loss made me choke up. Botg Sportsnation and Highly Questionable were two shows that I would always record and watch right after I got home from school

[@vincentmendola70]

Great piece

[@semi6544]

Losing people sucks but I feel as an introvert it feels more terrible. I don't know how extroverts deal with grief but as an introvert you only let so many people in and losing them feels multiplicative. I'm not going to replenish the pool of loved people. Each and every death is so painful. Maybe it is worse for extroverts too because you may lose even more loved ones because you created relationships with more people. Death is just so bad. I wish everyone grace in dealing with it.

[@DJDOGG31]

Lebatard does a really good job on this interview.

[@davidcombs8458]

I didn’t expect to be crying, but here we are. I’m the exact way about my wife’s death. I’m more pissed than sad or depressed. And yeah, dark humor gets me through. And it freaks some people out. Me and her family though? We laugh to heal.

Scary yet also funny how much I relate to this person. Miss her on tv. I think this interview highlights a coin being two-sided, but you try to be a good person & go.

who doesn't love Beadle!!!

[@mike-r575]

I started watching SportsNation for Colin Cowherd, but I kept watching for Michelle Beadle. That show worked because it allowed her to be silly and funny. Michelle is not at her best when she's a correspondent (e.g. - NBCSN) or a moderator (NBA Countdown). Instead, Michelle is at her best when she's given the space to ad lib. How about "The Dan LeBatard Show with Michelle Beadle" if Stugotz bolts for WFAN?

Sorry you’re a victim

[@KingdomHearts29]

I don’t think race and being in America has anything to do with connections… it’s just luck. If you knew the president of the Spurs personally, regardless of skin color, you could definitely get an internship. lmao not everything is racism buddy it’s just a matter of connections and luck. Nobody hired her cause she’s white 😭
