OT: How is "The Six" on ESPN an actual tv show?

Submitted by wolverine1987 on August 25th, 2017 at 6:08 PM

It's an old story now how everything not College Football on ESPN is bad (which as a guy that once really liked SportsCenter and other programs, makes me sad) but watching Jemele Hill and Michael Smith impersonate talented TV people is excruciating. In what world did an ESPN exec say "hey, let's appeal to the kids, get me Jemele Hill and Michael Smith!" ???

I've seen it once, while at the dentist's office. I was pretty numb, but it didn't seem like the worst show in the world

Million dollar response. Seriously though that show and Jamele are the worst. One would need to be brain dead to actually watch that shit

I actually enjoy Michael Smith, but since he is paired with Jemele Hill I refuse to watch this sorry excuse of a show

had a show on the Howard Stern channels called "The Shit Show".

Once The Six started showing on ESPN, he immediately stopped making the show. He knew ESPN would sue him for copyright infringement.

is unwatchable. Jemele Hill isn't qualified to do a sports report on a TV station in East Lansing. Michael Smith had a future before he accepted this assignment.

Michael Smith is actually one of my favorite anchors, so I hope he gets released from this before it ruins his career. that said, hill and Sarah Spain are the absolute worst. I cannot stand either.

Talented sports journalists cost money; money that ESPN no longer has to give out, so they settle for crappy programming while broadcasting sporting events. Naturally, this makes programming on during the daytime pretty much unwatchable.
