Keith Jones kicked out of the studio to do Pierre's job. Is he on ESPN?

Biz and entertainment value should not be used in the same sentence.

Did no one offer Patrick Sharp a job because he apparently likes to harass sexual assault victims?

Entertainment value.

Also, he's apparently really good on AZ broadcasts. Just, no one sees him there because it's Arizona.
He's not. He's still stammering and disorganized. But I like him for being like the most prototypical jock character imaginable...

This is uncomplicated. Give Mike Johnson and Anson Carter blank checks.

Anson Carter...? No...no way.

Mike Johnson is first team all pro in terms of broadcasting and turning your house from dish dryer to dishwasher...

I'd rather have Bissonnette over Olczyk or Jones. Frankly over Gretzky or Carter too.

Me too. Asterisk on 99. Never heard him on a broadcast...

It’s so we don’t wind up on some list.

The "Contributors" section makes it look like they hired everyone and realized they forgot the diversity so they quickly wrote some checks.

There's not a big pool to pick from.

If you don't have imagination or an eye for talent, that's definitely true...

Ex players and professional broadcasters (all white men). That's the pool they are picking from.

Who do you have in mind?

Mleczko, Botterill, I think Naoko Funayama is better with the Red Sox, but I'd be curious there, Sara Civ, I'd give Alexa Shaw from NBC Sports Washington a look as a potential desk host one day...etc.

I don't know, it's been months since I've seen a local broadcast, so not all the names are fresh in my head...but if you're really trying to hit a quota, you can and you can still be productive and at least have upside...

The year is 2050. Analysts no longer exist and we wonder why they ever did at all.

How about the ability to select from multiple analysts or none?

That would be a grand slam for the NHL. I like that they’re trying something different. I think they wanted JR or Milbury to be their “controversial” guy but didn’t like JR’s swinger life style and Milbury is an old man yelling at clouds without the charisma of Don Cherry.

Good move by COL. Having black with the burgundy was a bad bad look.
