The Ocho returns Friday.

My kid was eating cherries with his lunch today and randomly told me, "Cherry pit spitting should be in the Olympics." I did see it on the Ocho once; I'll have to check the lineup to see if it's gonna be on this week.

Max Kellerman expected to be removed from ESPN’s ‘First Take’

On “First Take,” ESPN does not plan on replacing Kellerman with anyone in particular. Instead, a rotation of verbal sparring partners (which will always be POCs or LGBTQ) will likely make the short walk over each morning from another ESPN show, “Get Up,” which is located in the same Seaport studios. Molly Qerim is expected to continue to host, but Smith is the undisputed star.

Honestly espn is total trash outside of College Gameday (CFB) and their college football coverage in general. Everything else is terrible.

Any word on if College Gameday will be euthanizing "The Bear" so that I can start watching it again?

I don't think the Bear is great, but he is fine and can say some fun things.

Do you know how the Bear got his name?

He was housing food in a restaurant like Jike does a hashed brown bowl. Corso said to him, "Damn it Fallica, you are like a bear. All you do is eat and shit"

Crew: "Oh my God!!! Where does he find things like this?!?!?!"

Bear: "Also, their head coach went to Liberty High School, which is where the opposing team's running back played."

I don't mind the Bear but I get where UEM is coming from. They've been adding bits and pieces to College GameDay and slowly over time it's evolved into something that doesn't resemble the original concept. Still watchable and very good but it's not as great as it used to be. Right now they're living off banked hype.

My biggest complaint about GameDay is that they should return to a 2-hour show instead of a 3-hour show. To much filler for that long of a show. Multiple segments showing players warming up is not necessary or riveting content.
