She's a Trumper moron.  This isn't news.  Hopefully they all farging die terrified, alone and gasping for air.

I have a creeping suspicion that we're going to die like that because of them.

He deleted it but former 975 guy Joe Staszak got really mad about the sixers hiring a woman to do PBp. All of his tweets after that are still on his timeline though lol

can someone who watches tv explain katie nolan to me

shes like funny and stuff, and cute, but shes never generated an audience and has bounced around from thing that doesnt work to thing that doesnt work. why are so many people up in arms that espn dropped her when they never sought her out to begin with

[ice grillin you]

she funny in a youtube video kind of way not a major network kind of way

i like her but espn was a way too big of a platform for her...shes not in that league...i cant believe they paid her a million bucks a year

[MDS]

i know a lot of it is woke liberals having to ride for a woman in sports media...but like what does she do

mina kimes absolutely lapped her, she doesnt generate ratings or online discourse like stephen a, she doesnt have the broadcasting chops to host a pregame. i dont know what shes supposed to do. just like host a podcast and tweet?

[ice grillin you]

its not right to compare mina kimes to her...mina kimes was an award winning journalist...shes an amazing writer and now she is the lead nfl analyst at espn...katie nolan was a blogger and youtuber

nolan had her own show similar to what she did at fox that was pretty bad...then it got cancelled and she became a regular guest on lebatards show and then hosted it a lot when he left...other than that to my knowledge she did nothing

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah Nolan is a niche where as Kimes is more Andrea Kremer or Jackie Mac. Kimes has range.

Nolan is good on the goofball shows or doing some podcast type stuff.

[ice grillin you]

kimes' arc is pretty incredible when you think about it...she went from being a financial investigative reporter to lead nfl analyst on espn as an Asian female
