You either get a voice or a head with a lot of sports content on the internet these days, and the pandemic really exacerbated just how close a lot of the really big news/reaction shows whether its sports or politics were to your average internet production other than the budget put into the set and graphic design (which some producer went on record during an episode of The Press Box podcast a few years ago as admitting most sets are purely the result of C-suite dudes and producers trying to one up other networks) so they think, let's lose the desk or the tie or SOMETHING


'Cause it's either that or turn up the volume and make everyone Screamin' A. or Woj in their eyes. I've already seen bars in the mid-damn-west playing Twitch streamers (yea, of video games) or Youtube highlight packages rather than ESPN/Fox/etc. There's a big reckoning coming with media rights and the dudes that have to think hard about that are trying, incremental as they can, to figure out what if any solution there is. Exposed legs is, like, an IDEA, right? You can sell sock and shoe sponsorships off that, y'know?
