Time to reimagine EOG
- Thread starter John Kelly

I wish more networks had people like Barkley for on air commentary. How many times do we see their half time show of a garbage game and Barkley will come right out and say "I have no idea why anyone in the audience would be sitting at home watching this trash"?
Barkley has no reservations or filter to give honest opinions. ESPN commentators seem to always be reciting talking points straight from a script to propagandize leagues/teams/players etc to toe the company line.
Bill Simmons was probably the most unfiltered and interesting voice the network had for years but they pretty much kept him on the periphery and even then still had to oust him for exposing the blatant hypocrisy with people like Goodell, the NBA etc

I remember Coach O'Connor at Thornwood High School in 1980 predicting soccer would be the #1 spectator sport in America by 1990.
I respectfully disagreed.
Same in every decade before and after. For most Americans Soccer is a great game to play, but a boring game to watch. It's basically a Hockey game played between the blue lines. Not enough scoring opportunities.

How about some sort of sanctions, how about kicking out Russian diplomats, how about doing something other than going golfing and holding pep rallies. Putin puts a bounty on our troops and Traitor Trump sits on his fat orange ass and does nothing, and now you know why Putin helped get him elected, he was able to install his puppet in the WH, Traitor Trump is Putin's bitch, I've been saying it all along, Traitor Trump belongs in prison for treason
We already have sanctions on them, we've already kicked out diplomats, any more and we basically end relations. Iran had bounties out when obama was president, what did he do except give them money?
We do the same thing to them, we were trying to kill russians in syria through proxies, not to mention back in afghanistan when they were fighting there.
