Who in, your eyes, is the Most Powerful ESPN Personality

[BlackxChild]

My list would go something like this:

1) Skip Bayless - Love him or hate him, he gets buzz like no one else... Everyone, even other people in the Sports Media, Hang on his every word.... He was a big part of creating the Tebow Phenomenon...

2) Stephen A Smith - Saturday Night live, McDonalds and Star Trek Commercials, 48% of first take (I'll give skip 52%)...

3) Mike Greeney - They have a syndicated radio show, and 4 hour tv show... So these motherfuckers got 2 streams of revenue from TV and Radio ads...

If you look up everyone's salaries (though I'm sure some are incorrect), you'd be suprised....

They say Greeney makes $2million a year...

Colin Cowherd 2 million a year (seriously?)

Skip Bayless $500k a year ( i know this can't be right... He probably got a massive raise over the last 2 years)

Stephen A like $400k a year (I know this can't be right either)

Mike Wilbon - $1.5 million a year... This was suprising to me... I guess PTI is doing big things.

Colin cowherd was the #1 most accurate radio host of last year that includes news sports music anything. He's spot on and he's interesting to listen to.

Skip...simply for the amount of hate he generates..

Pretty much... This man have other sports media people (like colin cowherd, and bill simmons), talking and tweeting about shit he does....

Simmons got suspended from twitter for 3 days by ESPN, because he said something about the Skip vs Richard Sherman thing...

Love him or hate him, people value this man's opinion... If they didn't, they would just ignore him and not give a damn what he say.... but EVERYBODY gotta tune in to see "what skip got to say about tebow or lebron"...

It's going to be a little tougher on him now that Lebron has and ring and Tebow is out of a job, but he'll find something else to be his calling card lol.

In the USA, the NFL is king and Adam Schefter has the inside scoop on everything. Chris Berman is the man tho and I am a fan of "Gruden's QB Camp". On a side note am I the only one that feels like only the white guys get the behind the scene stories in the NFL?

You answered your own question in your post...

"In USA, NFL is King"

US population: 70% white ... 15% black (roughly).

That's it.

anybody who pics skip bayless... is petty

he bandwagons and trolls more than oohla...

this is the only guy kno who pics against his favorite team for 2 and a half rounds jus 2 hop back on @ the end... and his reason is "i didnt want 2 jinx the spurs"

the only guy who says he lost respect 4 durant cuz he had 1 bad series...and says "he is not a clutch player"

Powerful is one thing.

Quality reporter is a whole nother.

Skip IS still who people tune in to see at the end of the end of the day. Stephen A is there to actually make sense.

Most of the time I would agree with this but what the fuck was Stephen A on when he reported the Clippers were offering Griffin, Jordan, Bledsoe and Butler for Doc River, Pierce and KG?

 

[damobb2deep]

Skip = obvious answer.

He says shit just to provoke people. He's also the person I least respect on ESPN at this point. He literally just spews nonsense trolling now for ratings, I hate what he has become.

lol he is good @ trolling i will admit.... this dude had me HEATED when he was saying he lost respect in Durant and said he isnt clutch...

 

[Mister B.]

Bayless is the ultimate troll....

Steven A could be if he was so wishy-washy....

Grantland>>>>>>>ALL.

 

[Cigarello Slim]

Stuart Scott... BOOYAH!

 

[usmarin3]

To me the best dude at ESPN is Scott Van Pelt

 

[BlackAX410]

Skip Bayless be havin athletes mad as fuck trollin them on 1st take lls he's not da best but he garners da most attention he had athletes explaining themselves nd wantin to fight him, he makes people hate certain athletes "Tebowmania" for example love him or hate him hella heads say "I cant wait to hear wat Skip Bayless has to say tomorrow" when sumthin happens in sports

 

[thefabmd2dc]

First take gets the most attention on the network

all the athletes catching feelings pulling richard shermons embarrassing themselves on live tv over Skip Bayless.

How is he not the most powerful person on that network?

 

[5th Letter]

I say Skip Bayless

 

[tha bause]

Charissa Thompson. She can do those glorious splits while sitting on my face

 

[Jdilla26]

Scott Van Pelt he's a goat on ESPN

 

[its....JOHN B]

Giving you a goat for that sig, that shit has me in tears everytime

 

[THIRDSUPREME]

First Take is the best show they got. Used to be PTI. and Around the Horn.
