Someone needs to give this chud some ivermectin for his brain worms because the woke derangement syndrome is thick.
Although, before you do that since he is such a fan of owning up to his mistakes then he should be notified that Randle has played in the playoffs both times the Knicks have been in during his time with them, His claim that Randle is 'never available' for the playoffs is flat out wrong, not played well in them, sure, IF he had said that but he didn't.
Also, no, a media personality isn't a representative of one media outlet no matter where they go to voice their opinion. What he says on his own podcast is his own opinion away from ESPN, he's explicitly said that's why he has his own podcast because he can't voice it all on ESPN. Just because he can't separate this in his sides cucked mind doesn't mean it's true.
I'll never watch another thing from that clown again, I just wanted to see his criticism of SAS and if it had merit. He stated the obvious about this SAS situation, wow, congrats.

If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Guess what, since you watched it, it's in your algorithm now
YouTube thinks that's what you want to see, so it's gonna keep recommending it for you
That's how the alt-right pipeline works, that's why you gotta be careful what you watch.

I don't have an account I'm logged into and my tracking/cookies get cleared all the time because I browse anonymously. So, youtube thinks I'm new every time I show up and my feed is filled inane BS I'll never watch. Though, the feed is still filled with mr beast and creepy alt-right pipeline stuff anyway which tells me how sus the algorithm is even without prompting.

Yep. Anytime I end up stumbling across some nazi BS I have to cleanse my algorithm with searches for music, sports, or nerdy stuff.
It's also pretty insidious. There were times where gaming walk-through vids ended up recommending some real horsesh*t to me after it was done. Imagine being a kid and that happens?

My gut feeling is that it is deliberate. YouTube/Google wants that stuff to be seen because it drives engagement and ad revenue.
Tech bros are also sympathetic to that garbage.

Money and profit is 99% of the world's ideology and it takes someone making a considerable effort to not have an ideology that revolves around personal profit as the highest ideal which most don't do if they even recognize that it is this way.

I am totally fine with him since I can easily ignore him. Reggie Miller, on the other hand, is a different story. Dude forces me to watch the game on mute

I go back to when Bill Russell did color commentary in games. But was that for CBS or ABC? Trying to remember.
ABC right after he retired. Later CBS

He's right about one thing, ESPN's coverage of the NBA is abysmal especially the studio show.

I remember Steve "Snapper" Jones and Bill Walton banter with a lot of nostalgia....those were fun times.

Re: O.T. Stephen A. Smith (and ESPN) fallout
I have mostly avoided him since he picked up the tight end from Skip's show. I don't like Bayless either, but to be so dramatic about the split is petty and childish. I get that they are in entertainment and gossip/tea sells, but I am not a fan of that nonsense. Talk about the sport, rant if you want, but pundits are not the topic.
