they can’t rein them in.” Is Kay having flashbacks to 1986? Sounds like he’s suggesting the Mets are running wild on city streets. Or how about: “The Mets players - how do I say this - are not reined in that well…. Like when Kay said: “There’s something wrong in the water that surrounds the Mets.” Was he referring to the fact that chop shops in close proximity to Citi Field have an inferior sewage system? Very interesting. Kay showed so much passion one would think he was talking about his Yankees.

It’s always an event of great historical significance and balance when Michael Kay, the TV voice of the Yankees, goes on a Mets rant on ESPN-98.7. So maybe Nichols could return to Turner Sports, where she covered the NBA (and had her own interview show) from 2013-2016. The spit hit the fan and Taylor wound up leaving ESPN for NBC Sports before ESPN placed Nichols (albeit while set to collect the $2 million ESPN owes her) in dry-dock last week.ĭespite the static that erupted in the wake of this jive, NBA boss Adam Silver said Nichols should not have her career taken away over the secretly taped comments. ESPN suits knew about the audio over a year ago (what were they waiting for?) but only took action after it was brought to light in July by the New York Times. Almost forgot that an ESPN employee secretly taped, and released, a private telephone conversation where Nichols inferred that Black colleague Maria Taylor got a sought-after hosting gig because of her race.

Considering her background as an NBA reporter and interviewer, Nichols would have been a sure shot to host ESPN’s “NBA Countdown.” With a year left on her contract, Nichols won’t be a part of NBA coverage next season. On Wednesday, ESPN announced it was dumping “The Jump,” her daily hoops show. And if certain players and coaches were wearing microphones, the productions would be even more entertaining.Įspecially for NFL addicts who would love getting a closer look at how coaches conduct these sessions.ĭon’t expect Rachel Nichols to be out of a gig for too long. It’s becoming clearer these practices have more action than preseason games.

The league should sell the TV rights for teams holding joint training camp practices to local stations. Here’s one the suits have probably already kicked around. The NFL is good at finding ways to make money for its member clubs. Maybe this serendipitous formula will actually work.

Get it? These three Gasbags were thrown together by a combination of circumstance and ESPN suits managing by the seat of their pants, or jeans, or dresses.

Williams, who mostly brings a low-key presence (except when he is delivering Kevin Durant’s off-the-record comments) to the microphone, might actually wake up if both Johnson and Kellerman can “inspire” him. MeShawn’s often outrageous, yet original, opinions can be a springboard for listenable back and forth. With Kellerman now coming on board, the morning show should be less formatted and more free-flowing. The answers to both questions should be “no” and “no.” In its current state, even with Alan Hahn hosting (he would have been named permanent host if Kellerman stayed on “First Take”), the show had too much structure. Kellerman is leaving one Human Filibluster behind and picking up a former diva wideout whose credo is: Give Me the Damn Microphone! Where does Kellerman fit into this? Will he spend four hours in the backseat while MeShawn drives the bus? Or will Kellerman play the role of setup man for both Johnson and Williams? And there’s the rub. Johnson like Smith, loves glomming airtime.
