OT: New ESPN Radio lineup (starts January 2nd)

So with Mike and Mike ending, ESPN is reshuffling its line up. Here it is:

Good lord that's terrible. My biggest complaint is the Russillo Show completely gets the shaft. Not only does it get a worse time slot due to ESPN promoting the hot garbage take spewing Stephen A Smith show, but they made Will Cain the permanent co-host for Russillo. As a fan of the show, Cain is the WORST possible option. Damn shame. The Russillo Show (and before SVP/Russillo then Russillo/Kannell) was the most fun, well thought out and intelligent show ESPN had. I still might listen to Le Batard for some laughs, but it looks like I'll be dumping the ESPN app for radio during work now. Damn it, now I have to work.

Ugh, looks like I don't have to turn away from Rich Eisen during my drive to work.

Oh, and one less clicky:

Rusillo is awesome..needs to get out of trash network that ESPN is becoming.

Ugh. Will Cain is the worst. The few times I've heard him fill in for hosts on other shows he has been a complete trainwreck. But apparently being polarizing and pissing off viewers/listeners is apparently what ESPN considers "successful".

"11-0, bro"
-Hunter Carpenter (probably)

So... they're looking for a new Colin Cowherd, you say...

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

I haven't noticed any of that with Will Cain, he just seems . . . blah. Like, he's just a guy, and he's there.

But I also only listen to ESPN radio during the 20 minutes of my drive to work (I work evenings), and I'm bouncing between that and Rich Eisen. Or, if I time my drive wrong and I get ten minutes of ads.

I would have at least preferred le Batard to be right after Stephen A Smith, cause now we'll have to wait a whole day for the highlights of the most ridiculous things he said.
