Sports Illustrated gives credence to the Beadle back to ESPN talk
What's more interesting is it says SportsNation's ratings have tanked since going to the two guy format
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/n ... index.htmlAfter Charissa left for FS1 ESPN was left without a blonde with a little spunk and comedic timing. Abc needs someone to host shows like Splash. I could see them plugging Beadle in that slot.
She probably shouldn't have said some of the things she did about NBCSN in the last couple weeks, but she was mostly right. They never did promote the show after it was retooled. I always found that to be so odd. They promoted the crap out of the horrible orginal version of the show before it launched. SN used to get moved around, but ESPN was smart enough to replay the show more than once to make sure people had a decent chance to see it.
The second part about SportsNation's ratings post CT only confirms something we all predicted months ago. The show isn't bad, but it needs a female co-host. I could even live with a trio like the old college football version on ESPNU saturday mornings. Cassidy Hubbarth in a skin tight mini dress could sit on a stool and read the yellow pages and get double the ratings of the current sausagefest.
