This is crappy. I hope we don't get stuck with some worthless piece of junk like the last guy.

Sheil was solid. ESPN in general is terrible, however, I have zero expectations.

Yeah we will get some guy that used to cover the Little League world series of something, they let almost all the good people go already, this sounds like something similar, leaving to pursue new opportunities hmmmmm. Didn't say what which is unusual since it was on his Twitter to route viewership.

Dang, he was almost as good as Sando who was probably the top guy during his time.

I just hope it is someone who enjoys covering football. The hack before Sheil was horrendous.

ESPN has just totally lost the plot.



I am sure Sheil has lost any confidence in the organization to be objective and be about sports. It really is too bad.

This. ESPN has fallen so far, I'm curious to see who will fill the void as an actual sports reporting network.

I went to Foxsports and puked...so no there.

Went to this one and was able to keep my food down. http://247sports.com/
Seemed to be dedicated to sports, not BS. Dunno about the msn nbc or abc or other nonaffiliated ones. 247 is a cbs product.

Sheil was my go to guy to get twitter updates on the Hawks. He was a great source for someone who lives far away. On that note, can you guys give some suggestions on other good twitter follows for up to date info? I am guessing there must some decent guys in the local media there.
Thanks

When he first started he was bad. He got better for sure. I suspect ESPN will plant a Pats' fan in his place.

Check out Bob Condotta and Gregg Bell. Both are local media guys that cover the team, and both do a really good job in my opinion.

This does blow. I remember the dark days of whoever the heck that was who preceeded Sheil.

Little League World Series of Poker...

ESPN is collapsing, and I enjoy it.
