Le Bron hating on women. But it’s a “white” woman so that’s ok. The guy is such a hater of white people it’s disturbing
Beads!!!!!! An Ally and and always a person that stands for something💯💪🏿🙏🏿
One question before I listen to the whole interview. Does she get into any detail(s) as to why she doesn't like Stephen A Smith? Because I can't stand that clown and I'd love to hear what she doesn't like about him. To see if we agree on anything. On a side tangent.... IDK how anyone can watch him and mad dog yell at each other for 2+ hours. I get a headache just watching one segment on TH-cam.
Russo and Smith. Soooo contrived. The industry thinks this is somehow TV magic ... I don’t get it. And Russo so damn creepy looking
@@briankennedy2013 hell yeah man. That's the perfect word. Contrived. And the incessant yelling. Can't imagine people being interested in that for the long term. I feel it's gonna get really old really soon. If it doesn't then this country is even more brain dead than I thought it was.
Loved Michelle Beadle on SportsNation. When she left the show it was not the same. Nice to know she's working with the Spurs. I hope she's happy.
Kenisha Luby • Right; That sh•t was funny (A.F)
Look like Spurs gone have the 1st WNBA player suit up in the NBA as a spur 😂
She’s a leftwing nutjob. Did herself in.
Her and Colin were awesome together on SportsNation.
@@Kobe8DaGreat24 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Five though.
I've missed Michelle Beadle so much in the realm of sports commentary. She's so real, very much no BS compared to most other people on TV who are scared to say things. Always loved her on NBA coverage, miss those days of she, Paul Pierce, Rose, Billups and T-Mac
Facts
She pissed off the queen haha was on his shit list
@@anthonyhuskett7413 she pissed off a lot more ppl than Goat James. She is definitely one of the most hated personalities on television behind Rachel Nichols.
Leave her where she is
Yes, countdown. I also love how she got really annoyed with Pierce 😂😂😂
It's simple, TNT allows the whole crew be themselves no matter what they say or do. That is what gives the audience a relatable connection to continue watching every time they come on.
Except Shaq mumbles. Makes no Effort to try to speak clearly. Lazy
Good point about TNT…that crew’s flow, comfort and chemistry has been gold. ESPN’s teams often feel like they’re pushing so hard to take some sort of controversial stance or create their own battles and overtalk points they want to make. Chemistry is tough to create with out time on air and some longer term relationships.
ESPN is Disney too. Conservative company that wouldn't allow Barkley to get away with the stuff he says.
@@ocampbell1954 NBA Today don't have much of a filter too, like when Malika joked about Perkins weight 😂
@@ocampbell1954 Disney conservative??? Lol
You either have chemistry or you don't. And Barkley is the straw that stirs that drink. The day he retires, that show will be over too.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 They're going to give that position to Draymond.
When someone refers to someone else as"that person" nothing else needs to be said.
TNT let's chuck, Ernie , Shaq, and Kenny to just be themselves without the fear of being politically correct
Agreed
They’re also good people. Shaq and Ernie are known for treating everyone with the upmost respect. Chuck is the most genuine tv personality ever. And Kenny… is just Kenny lol I’ve never heard or seen a bad thing about Kenny ever. They’re perfect together
@@dantheman8152 and that's exactly why their show is award winning!
They don’t say dumb and inappropriate shit usually. I guess that helps.
Yes. U right ✅
I haven’t heard from Michelle Beadle in a while. She’s a great interview by being so candid & personable & and happy to answer all of his questions.
She's a pro. A lot of potential minefields in those questions and she answered everything directly, no avoidance but at the same time still sounded professional. Impressive.
Exactly! She could have been petty and took shots at certain ppl but instead kept it professional. Always had respect for Beadle since she went to my alma mater
Beadle isn't exactly professional though.
Ariel is a pot stirrer and I’m here for it 🤣🤣🤣
People like that get slapped- nick diaz
@@titancheat where I'm from *
I don’t understand how he’s stirring the pot. He literally just asking for her input and point of view.
@@REDANDSILVER741 he’s known for that among the fighters.
@@REDANDSILVER741
People say that he is stirring the pot are truly sensitive. He just wants insight.
She was great at ESPN.. SportsNation was such a great show.. I miss Michelle
Factz
I think they where both good
Man her and wiley were great. So many laughs. I loved her as a nets announcer too growing up.
Fact yeah I miss Michelle Beadle
Her and Collin had great chemistry. Stop watching that show when max, marcilus, and her were gone.
The closest thing ESPN had to TNT was Beadle, Jalen, Chauncey, and Paul pierce. They at least tried to have fun together.
💯
Yeah that was easily their best lineup
The fucking Mouse.
Bring back Paul Pierce
Yup!
Beadle, Paul, Jalen, and Billups were awesome and hilarious. Should’ve kept it going until Billups got the job with the blazers.
I was a huge MB fan when she came on the to scene. She had a Podcast back when she was with espn and it was awesome. Lame it got canned without notice. She was very open and upfront on and off air and I appreciated that. Glad she's still doing her thing in one form or another.
The original sportsnation was very underrated IMO. She’s a great host & a joy to watch. & Ariel always have to bring up pass beef with Dana lol
Weird to think of it being her and Cowherd. Time flies.
Why does she have beef with everyone
That laugh when Ariel first brings up the Countdown drama is hilarious. Just an release of pure schadenfreude.
Love Beadle. As a Spurs fan, it was so cool having her on the broadcast.
heard they got some big 'ol women down in San An'tonio
I love how Ariel picked up on her slight to Stephen A and followed up on it.
Michelle Beadle did a great job with Sportsnation. She was one of the main reasons i watched it. Her personality drew you to her. She appealed to the many men who watched the show because of it and her beauty is the icing on the cake.
Also, it's no surprise to me that she doesn't like Stephen A. Smith. He's not everyone's cup of tea and she might no what he has done to get to the top at ESPN & it probably isn't good.
That was GREAT show. Really looked forward to it when I get out of school.
Her and Marcellus was so funny and entertaining
Who cares if she doesn't like Stephen A. Smith? Michelle Beadle is IRRELEVANT. She's been irrelevant for years. She got fired from ESPN for being lazy. Enough said.
Michelle doesn’t have a great rep during her time working for ESPN so there’s a lot of folks that didn’t like her. Idk why she’s even still talking about this, she’s been gone for several years now
@@vincew4297 leave her alone Rachel we can see through your BS
Fell in love with Michelle when she was on SportsNation😍
Same here. Always set the DVR to watch it when I got home. Love Beadle
She was awesome with Colin. That show was never the same
Same man. I wish they still did it together
Then I stopped when I saw how big of a head she got. Sports nation went to shit after the first season because of that
IT WAS THE BEST!!!
The first 30 years of ESPN were great. It’s been all downhill since then because it was no longer about entertainment and sports.
That 1st 30 had a strong “splash” of racism 😆 When white people comment stuff like this, it just seems to come from a White Supremacist standpoint. But have at it 🤦🏽♂️
Honestly I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I’m 29 years old and I remember watching hours of ESPN shows when I was a teenager with my friends. Now I may watch an hour at max. ESPN has changed from let’s talk about sports to let me give you my opinion on the world. Which is completely different then what it was first started as. It says something that when ESPN executives have had to say enough politics to the on air talent that they even needed to say it in the first place. Other then college game day I don’t watch ESPN shows at all.
If you read the book You Guys Have All The Fun about ESPN in the early days the content was the star when they had real talent you could not be bigger than the show; that’s back when they had real talent Oberman et al now the personalities are the stars.
Just watch the sports, and not the talking heads and it isn’t bad
@@xftbllplyr2091
It’s OK but again not what it was; of course Greenberg and Wilbon are old school and Milisa Andrew’s is amazing; but personalities like Stephan A Smith who ESPN claims to be front line talent; when you listen critically to what he says compared to a journalists like Wilbon and Greeny and my all time favorite Stuart Scott; who took the ordinary and mundane and made it poetic; Who put the term Cool as the other side of the pillow and put it inevitably into the lexicon of sports phrases for future generations; his actual general sports knowledge is a less less than stellar.
When you can bubble wrap Shaq, make him do the 1 chip challenge, shoot water pistols, race to the board and go fishing, what can top that ? Then you have incredible basketball knowledge and analysis, it's a no brainer why it's the best NBA show ever.
The TNT crew does not have incredible analysis lmao. They are just entertaining. Sometimes Chuch will spit out a gem but besides that there's not good analysis.
@@mith2946 Name a crew that does it better.
@@beachhunting69 Lol what? There's only two crews... Three if you count NBA TV. They are trash there's no competition. I love the TNT guys, they are entertaining. There's no good analysis though. I could name individuals... Tim Legler for example
@@mith2946 So you don't think those 3 guys, with all their experience in the NBA and winning championships, don't contribute in terms of game analysis ? They just entertain. Kenny Smith never has anything good to say ?
@@beachhunting69 Lmao Kenny Smith is the worst, he just rambles without saying anything of substance. If you think Kenny Smith is great, I pity you. Just because you are a great player doesn't mean you can break down players talents or strategy. Michael Jordan would be the best GM in basketball if that was the case, instead he's the worst.
The older I get the harder it is to watch ESPN. Beadle & Wiley were great. Beadle with most pairings I recall seeing her do shows with were pretty good. Still some greats at ESPN but quite a few gone as well. Glad she’s happy where she is now though!
Of course fuck espn
Bradley & Wiley was terrible to watch
Wiley not so much. Hes pretty annoying and takes 10 minutes to comes to a pointless conclusion. MB is great though
@@jpcoqueran Dude you don't watch Marcelus Wiley to get wiser... you watch him cause it's fun hearing him say hugely exaggerated things in a very colorful way... Marcelus and the others made Michelle laugh a lot and that was the whole point of the show... have fun while talking sports... not to teach the audience about the art of basketball...
Not really
Stephen A and Greenie have already been on ESPN for 4 hours during the day. Who wants to hear them rehash the same takes on NBA Countdown at night? Ditto for Jalen and Wilbon to a lesser extent.
Exactly. I can't stand half the people on national shows. If I want a laugh I might watch skip and Shannon but that's about it anymore. Idk why I like their show and not the others but I do
@@stompingpeak2043 "Skeeeeee-illl-up" 🤣
@@bingram2011 TSSKIIIIIIUP!!*
@@stompingpeak2043 skip and Shannon have such great chemistry, definitely far more entertaining than any of the bozos on ESPN even Stephen A has became less entertaining
@@stompingpeak2043 then by not knowing there lies something in you
Michelle beadle is always good to watch. Seems down to earth and genuine. Never noticed how I stopped watching espn around the time she had her issues there til now watching this.
We she said “she is the one who plays the game” I understood exactly what she meant and it’s sucks because there are people who actually go to work everyday to make a honest living without fucking over the next person to get by or to make themselves look good or make a name for themselves. Good riddance Rachel.🤡🤡🤡
Don't forget she was being passed around in the nba bubble
back when the warriors were dominating the league and rachel kept saying that klay deserved to be on the all nba team over and over again on television but then was proven that she "as a voter" never voted for klay..is the moment i knew she was full of it so i just never enjoyed watching the jump...
Ooooooh $h!+!,
I didn't know that!
What a BS contradictory move by her on camera in front of millions 🙄. Yikes
I remember when she was like literally the only female that was smack talkin with the players. I loved it so much...miss you Beadz
You definitely missed her lol
her disdain for Stephen a only deepened with how he treated max on first take
She seems to be messy. She is always speaking about other people.
@@danieljenkins7951 your soft
“Steven A Snitch”
@@EclecticEngineer604 I am soft because I don't do gossip? That makes you lady like.
Saw Beadle way back in 08 for YES network doing the Nets games. Great times, she was awesome. Great person, keeping things straight.
I've been so outta the loop in the ESPN drama and I don't know why I care😂😂
TNT claims to "know drama" in their slogan but ESPN is where the drama is at lol.
Sportsnation with Collin & Michelle was a goated show.
Need her back consistently
That sportsnation one with max kellerman her and I think there was black guy. That was awesome to watch
ESPN sounds like high school.
Loved Michelle Beadle on all of her shows. She was the one you'd wanna talk sports and have a beer with.
you want to get her in the sack...admit it dude...she didn't bring anything to any show.
Yeah ok
She lied on people
she's like a version of joy taylor that is actually good at her job. joy is all looks and no content but the simps treat her as if she has the biggest sports brain in history.
She could get a beer and something else too
ESPN pushes a narrative, that's the difference
You mean WokePN
They need to stop that. If they want rating to go up, stop picking sides divisive issues that you don't have all facts on
@@Raphell28 The shareholders of Disney are fine with that, they preach the same message in their movies. Like with most marvel/Disney movies, the agenda comes FIRST before the quality of the product
Chuck would call that shit out on ESPN and they’d let him cause he brings the numbers.
Big personalities can overcome that.
@@Shelbycountysniper “WokePN” sounds like a VPN service 💀💀💀
She's clearly not pulling any punches on how she feels. It's probably liberating.
This is probably your 1st time seeing her speak
@@sluglow6357 Actually it's not. It's probably your first time looking too deep into a simple comment.
@@TempeSoldier123 it’s actually your 1st time being caught in your own bullshit & not knowing how to respond
@@TempeSoldier123 by your logic she must feel liberated all the time lmao she never pulls any punches
@@nickhundoran2060 I don’t listen to her every word, so I wouldn’t know. I don’t have that much time on my hand. Judging by your logic, you clearly do.
Kenny, Chuck, and Shaq, have known each other for years from having played against each other during their careers. Ernie, is there to really only make sure Chuck and Shaq don't kill each other. So, having friendships that goes back over 20 plus years, definitely is the main reason why their chemistry is so good.
That's not why Ernie is there but ok lol
mestizo311 Ernie has known Shaq since 89,when Shaq was going into his freshman year in LSU.He inteeviewed him and spent time with him.
It's Ernie's show
One of the reasons those guys are successful is they were basketball players and now do live commentary. They don't have that crappy media background and they are not scared to say what it's on their minds. ESPN have way too narrative control for their employees.
Honestly, its just natural its that simple
Michelle makes a good point. ESPN gets too impatient and loves changing lineups too much.
Exactly. They would have something good and get rid of it in a flash
ESPN is the microwave network
Espn is garbage as they are too controlling of their crews. All the way down to making them wear suit as tie
Sportsnation was my Jam! I missed Michelle Beadle so so much! Was def a highly underrated run she had
This is why TNT is leaps & bounds ahead of ESPN! Chuck, Shaq, Kenny, C- Webb, & Ernie Johnson( greatest host ever), is able to speak there minds, let there opinions out, they are entertaining, funny, well spoken & have great chemistry! TNT should host next year's finals, & show them how it's done! ESPN has so much high school drama, it's becoming like the Kardashians, so unwatchable!
Ariel stirring the pot and Michelle telling us what we all know already about Steven A! I’m here for it!
Wondering why this is being reposted today despite the original interview airing months ago.
Because Ariel likes to start shiiiiiiet
It really helps that both Chuck and Shaq are 2 of the genuinely most spontaneously hilarious dudes of all time. I love all 4 of those guys, and they all play an equal part, which makes it so unjarring or strange when one of them is not there no matter who the sub is.. Definitely the best sports related media show ever.
Great interview, enjoyed hearing both of your opinions
"somebody taped it. somebody leaked it. people don't do that when they like you"........that's facts though
When Michelle was first on ESPN she was good and entertaining. When she left and came back for the second run. She came back like she thought she was too good for her spot. She became insufferable in my humble opinion. Not to say ESPN doesn't have other anchors we huge egos though. But in this instance my take is just on her.
She was extremely toxic and I'm glad she's off the ESPN roster.
Exactly never heard anyone defend her absence at least Rachel Nichols co-workers actually liked working with her!
@@ATS21198421 Dude, if nobody defends her absence then it means that she was actually a good and honest person... places like ESPN are corporate jungles of all out warfare... everyone is literally like Rachel Nichols... they talk behind each other's back and try to sabotage each other... they sell their souls to get ahead and the whole thing is that all these people are programmed to dislike honesty...
The difference of Michelle is that she didn't need her job at ESPN... she was working there because she liked it for fun... from what I've gathered her family is very wealthy and getting fired for her meant nothing for her personal life... which is why she spoke her mind without caring much...
Whether you like her or not is one thing... but I'm sure she was very genuine and honest... Paul Pierce likes her a lot from the time they were together on that show they did... and Pierce is certainly an honest guy that doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck about corporate politics and lies...
@@sportschool3537 Blah blah blah you don't work there so everything you said is conjecture & speculation! Yes of course you can only "speak your mind" if you have money! 🤦♂️
@@sportschool3537 Dude cited Paul Pierce as a character witness! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please stop!
What was the issue with Rachael Nichols? Michelle Beadle was very vague. Michelle is well known for,Bringing Drama to her,Co-workers. She is not missed.
Used to look forward to watching Sportsnation every afternoon and was glad it aired here in Canada. I miss Beadle!
Yep… have to admit that Beadle, on Countdown, was entertaining, down to earth and not stuck on herself. She had great chemistry with the male crew of Jalen, Pierce and Chauncey. Countdown now - well, Jalen is good and Greeny is tolerable.
As for Rachel Nichols- of course capable of the jobs she held but she also had this air of entitlement because of how she got into the business and it’s unfortunate/fortunate that her “real” self was exposed (just how some white folk feel when a co-worker is in line for a promotion)- and the ESPN managers fucked up handling her and Maria Taylor - who is good- but quickly got a little full of herself- asking “Stephen A.” money instead of taking the $5 Million annual contract that was initially on the table. Now - Rachel is out of work (albeit with a settlement)and you hardly see Maria Taylor anymore after extremely high visibility at ESPN. Folk don’t realize how good they have it in a volatile industry.🤔
Maria Taylor left ESPN… and is everywhere on TH-cam.
@@MrNeutralParty 😂🤣 That’s the point! She left a very high visibility position (ESPN) handed her part of the house not occupied by Stephen A. and big 💰 and she left for NBC sports where she’s virtually invisible (outside of NFL and once in a moon Olympics)- shiiiit - if you go to NBC - might as well be the TODAY SHOW or msnbc. She should’ve sat at ESPN - took the money and asked for a MNF role as well! You see the brinks truckload they’re paying the white boys lured from FOX NFL?😂Shiiiit…
@@alexrichrevue5731 😂😂😂
What do you mean unfortunate lol that’s how Rachel is..she’s fake AF. She would always cut off people and rant for days. You could tell she thought she was the shit. Like Beads said, karma is a bitch. There’s no doubt she treated the lower level employees like trash. Anyone that actually paid attention to her is glad she’s gone. She was beyond annoying.
Rachel Nichols is an ethnic Jew, not white, just an fyi
I like beadle's honesty. She flat out said she didn't have a relationship with Stephen A and they treat people differently. This speaks volumes for how Stephen A treated Max.
Stephen is the nba's dog, to push down the black players worth close to renegotiate time, so they can low ball them. He couldn't handle that more black people liked max, and I don't like max and his pandering woke stuff. PS I am African too.
@Markel Hill, what also speaks volumes is the number of people that “she didn’t like”. Says a lot about her and that maybe she was the common denominator/problem
That’s true, but to be honest, Beadle may want you to think her and Stephen A don’t like each other because they’re different. But it could just be they don’t like each other cause they’re similar, cause I remember a lot of folks at ESPN not liking Beadle, either. I just think she wasn’t the “smile in your face and talk shit behind your back” person like a Rachel Nichols, and she certainly wasn’t willing to conform to ESPN’s standards like Stephen A was.
The man went on the radio and bragged that he got a man fired. My issue is he always saying he looked at the show and realized things needed to change why aren’t you the problem SAS? Why is everyone else the problem
Bruh SHUT UP!! MAX was on a contract and it wasn't renewed S.A.S also got him plugged on another show after no bad blood it's only you silly viewers make this B's up. MAX WASN'T THERE TO STAY LIKE S.A.S GOT IT?
Outstanding interview. She's great.
She needs her own show. Say on a streaming provider
@@Hakeem990 Didn't she have her own show?
Her and Colin Cowherd were a perfect match on sports nation!
Man I miss Michelle beadle too . I used to be excited waiting for Sportsnation to come on when it was max and marcellus Wiley on there . Even when it was her and Colin Cowherd I was excited 😭That show won’t be the same again but I’m glad I grew up with those guys doing their thang
The emoji game always had me cracking up.
Sports Nation with that crew of Michelle Max Wiley was one of my favorite sports shows. And I only watch a couple of shows
Her and cowherd playing those games like BS meter were the jam
It’d be rad to have a beer or two with this chick. She’s so real and authentic. So refreshing these days and tough to come by.
Rad?! Gotcha lol
@Khalil Cook did you really just take the time and go out of your way to make fun of someone using the word rad?! Great contribution to the discussion smh
Totally tubular, dude!!
FAR OUT, LETS GO SHRED SOME GNAR. SHAKA BRAH!
@@MoldyWzrd Were all here because we like Beadle, but somehow narrative gets deflected smh. I'm convinced ppl are hired to race bait on TH-cam. Or new generation doesnt know how to communicate. Either way, worlds going to shit
Edit: I thought I'd mention I 100%agree with you if that wasnt obvious..wanted to keep it short
Wasn't she the one on a sports show that said she didn't watch the NFL so they moved her to the NBA show ? Or I'm mistaken
She said she quit watching it or something to it
Yeah she got tired of the NFL not handling violence against women properly so she didn’t wanna cover it anymore
Bob Costas said the same thing which led to him leaving the Sunday Night Football pregame show!!
@@williamrichardson57 most employers don't handle it at all but I don't see women walking off those jobs....privilege at its best

Good stuff Ariel. Really enjoyed this interview
best chemistry moment on ESPN was when Jalen was roasting Paul Pierce and Beadle was like "ooh that's rough"
LMAOOOOOO I was about to make that same comment
That last line is good talk: "...I don't bother saying it, if it's not true".
Loved her on air so much cuz she always laughing and having a great time.
Huge Beadle fan -- she always managed to be entertaining and yet insightful, plus definitely not afraid to speak her mind. There's a void in sports talk TV with her not there & ESPN is the lesser for it. Glad she's hooked up with her beloved Spurs tho. Old Pacers fan who remembers the Spurs from the ABA days, even before they were the Spurs, back when they were the Dallas Chapparals, with Steve Jones and Donnie Freeman at guard! We will always root for you Beads.
She was a shitty person also
I miss her when she used to work with the YES Network. I liked her on NJ Nets broadcasts back in the day.
That’s when I first seen her on the Yes network, Vince cart and Jkidd days.
Ariel, creme always rises my friend! Great to see you on your podcast and love Michelle Beadle keeping it real!!

Its one thing to be knowledgeable about sports, its an entirely different animal to be entertaining. *Thats* why the TNT Inside the Nba Crew is at the top, they bring both every single night equally.
She wasn't whining about ESPN when she was cashing those checks!
O she was. She is a never married woman, whining is her specialty.
@@trashbun2 😆😆😆
I think she is still cashing checks , hence the reason she's not on Some show now
@@trashbun2 facts 🤣🤣
Yup. When nbc universal crashed and burned she went right back to sports nation. She had no problem cashing checks and taking 5 million to host get up. And I’m a beadle fan but let’s keep it 100. Nothing like vip access on planes, in hotels, first class dining, and vip access to parties on the company dime. And being able to expand your brand on a major network everyday
I have ALWAYS loved Michelle! Seems like such a truly GENUINE person, unlike soooo many in that business.
Just a real person. World needs more Beadles. 💗
People are quick to believe in people
I had a 74 Beetle back in the day
🤔🤔😏😏
To the people missing out on Michelle Beadle I'll say I've loved seeing her every game on the Spurs pre game and on occasional commentary during games
U one of the VERY few
Clearly you’re on an island by yourself lol
This witch is filled with hate
Don’t think she had much impact yes she was cool on SportsNation for besides that nothing much I guess the NBA countdown eh there better with Jefferson better if they continue to replace them with former players
Meh...I found her to be annoying last week when I tuned into Warriors at Spurs. Didn't realize who she was at until something about her voice made me realize it was Beadle. She added nothing to the broadcast but complained about a few things as usual. But Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy annoy me too with their constant complaining and mindless banter. The NBA really does have an issue with their coverage regarding those who cover the league and in game commentary.
@@feliciasanders2066 Van Gundy is literally the only good color guy the NBA has, because he's the only one to call bullshit when refs are garbage (yes he goes overboard sometimes but 1) he's a former coach, of course he hates refs 2) NBA officials are generally always shit) and when the players start flopping too much. The flopping is a big one, bc no one else dares bring any attention to it, but is blatantly obvious to any fan that's been watching the game more than 15-20 years. Beadle is fine, and was honestly the only good host The Jump or whatever that garbage show is/was called has ever had. Nichols offered nothing, bc she was more concerned with which one of the players' d*cks she was gonna be riding later that night.
I don't understand how ESPN promising Nichols a job if she went to the bubble and then giving that job to someone else after Nichols did what ESPN told her to do (packing up and basically locking herself inside a hotel in Florida for like 2-3 months) is the fault of Rachel Nichols just cuz in a PRIVATE CONVERSATION she got mad at her employer for giving an opportunity she was promised to someone else. Personally I like Maria Taylor more than Nichols but I just don't see how this makes Nichols look bad.
ppl were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird about that entire thing. they could've taken woj off the show (he's not even good at tv) and just let them both be on the show, but instead they tried to renege on what they offered nichols bc of what was going on at the time.
It's because we live in a post-logic society now where knee-jerk emotion is what dictates everything - people aren't incapable of understanding basic conversation, they just choose not to. Even a clear and obvious 'Freudian slip' can fuck you over today, not because you "meant" anything, but just because you slipped and some vile people on this planet get off on burying others.
'Willful ignorance' - the phrase you need to know to understand society today
Those were networks controlled by rich Anglo-Saxon men that made a decision with a Caucasian woman. I have no feelings about this situation.
I didn't understand it myself. Everyone knew why they were pushing Taylor, and Taylor ended up demanding big money and leaving anyway. I hope she's doing well, this isn't personal or anything, but Nichols was one of the best parts of NBA coverage on ESPN. Now, was she someone who had some cutthroat to her? It wouldn't surprise me in the least, but she would have been FAR from the only one.
I'm glad to see so many Positive comments about her on here. I always thought she was Great, but I heard so many people thought she was "annoying"...ta hell w/ them. She's so cool. 💚
ESPN is a 24 hour channel and she said there's not enough time for their countdown show
This woman is such a badass. Never change Michelle Beadle. Your'e the absolute best.
Then why did ESPN axe her??? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
ESPN is pro LeBron. His PR Manager works there and knowing Beadle is known for being against him and saying stuff about him, probably got his feeling hurt 😅
@@loulsicar2155 well she just was disrespectful to him sometimes 😂
So yeah I wouldn't like her either.
@@timonriehl8707 Hahaha. If LeBron could really do that then he definitely could also kick out fans like he did to those Pacers fans 🤣
@@loulsicar2155 Really do what?
So he kicked out a fan who reportedly said racist things and a disgusting comment about his kids. Yeah the NBA has fan rules and If somebody tells a player I hope your Kids die they are taking it to far. It's only right to have then kicked out of the game. Just because you sit Courtside doesn't mean you can act like a Asshole. I really think it's strange that you are defending this kind of behavior from fans. I mean would you do nothing if people say does things about your family? I would fck them up. I know some NBA players would throw hands.
No to mention that fans get kicked out on a daily bases.
I mean Russ, Kyrie, KD, Melo, Curry, Rivers have done that.
And yeah he kicked out 2 fans at a Pacers game that's one game. But what about the other 1500 games he's played in. Doesn't seem like a thing that happened that often 😉.
He got his feelings hurt you do know that he is maybe the most hated athlete of all time. I don't think he gives a Fck what people think about him on Twitter. And he gets shit talekd every game he's played 😂
I truly miss seeing Michelle on ESPN. I'm happy she's happy now.
She ain’t happy look at her hating on everyone lol! She really missed espn but she failed!!
@@Ashish-k7s she really enjoys her time with the spurs. She hated ESPN not the Spurs media
Stop watching espn
I don't
@@S200. of course she got kicked outta Espn lol
I love Michelle Beadle! She should definitely be back on TV
Bot alert
Think she does spurs commentary now
So glad you landed on your feet, enjoyed Michelle on previous shows. All the best.
"that person" lmaoooo
I miss her on ESPN
Chemistry was Beadle, Wiley, and Kellerman on Sportsnation. Don't know how they got along behind the camera, but they were a lot of fun to watch together.
I miss seeing her on Sportsnation with Max & Marcellus Wiley
Obviously ESPN has gone downhill over the past couple decades, but it's really funny to watch two people who would have no face or name recognition without the network trash it after leaving. So disingenuous
Don't miss her, life goes on...
Exactly. I hate how she sits here and acts like some kind of victim.
@@nsmith3128 what happened to her
Beadle was one of the guys, I miss her🙂
I actually hated more then any other female on ESPN, She was way too feisty and toxic.
I loved her on ESPN !!!! Such a loss to the network. I valued her opinion. I don’t with many.
Your probably a Jason Whitlock fan too. Which days allot about you as a person.
@@fukyofeelings4234 can’t stand Jason. He never ever agrees with anyone else’s reasoning. Its okay to be conservative but also understand other peoples views
She got a good buyout too after they terminated her contract.
I see someone doesn't like people who think for themselves.....
I enjoyed Rachel and I enjoyed the Beetle during their time on ESPN but that company is not what it used to be I miss the old days when they actually talked sports and not just what a certain few teams with deep pockets have to say. RIP to Stuart Scott you left before you had to watch your profession become the joke it is now
He was as cool as the other side of the pillow!
All the best to you Michelle Beadle. like you with the boys thought it was great show and that you did really well. Your take on SAS is GOOD TAKE!
Not a fan of Stephen A, especially the past few years. However, I lost respect for her for how she misstated what Stephen A said and called him out over Twitter for it.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!!! I do not like Michelle at all I've had the misfortune of meeting her three times in my life and all three times she was completely a bitch.
Wait, I missed that...
@@koreypaul6698 It was after the ray rice situation. Stephen a made a comment about how with his family and his sisters how he knows that if anyone were to touch them he would lose it but he also tells them to also be concious to not also provoke the wrong actions I.e. hitting, attacking, spitting etc.
Michelle took that as Stephen a saying women shouldn’t provoke men, blasted him on ESPN and they had him suspended, this is back when he did first take with skip.
There’s a reason VERY few people like to respect Beadle.
@@Thunderbolt210 Oh wow!
@@Thunderbolt210 thank you for telling the truth brother. Cause everyone is in these comments acting like Michelle is some kind of saint lmao.
I think of Michelle as the CM Punk of ESPN. Super popular with the fan's, not popular with some of her coworkers 😅
She's the female version of Keith Olbermann!!
Voice of the voiceless! I'd love to hear a pipebom from her!
@@wilnerolivier7971 WHO
Beadle is one those women that Cam Newton talked about
What u mean
The points about the that goes into that TNT show; i think it is one of the best shows on tv period despite not even being that long realistically. I watch highlights sometimes and it has me laughing for hour’s
She got Stephen A suspended after the Ray Rice fiasco where he misspoke on domestic violence where she herself is a victim of and she called him out on the air at Sportsnation
She also mentioned she doesn't like the way SAS treats people. Even though this happened after she left, she probably saw how SAS basically kicked Max Kellerman off First Take (even though the show was doing good ratings at the time) as further proof of that. When she was listing people she does like, she brought up Max's name, so she probably considers him a friend so SAS pushing him off the show, that was probably another instance where she went, "Yup, that's why him (SAS) and I don't get along."
@@EACru2002 thats a good point
So
I could see her doing work with UFC I always loved her
I wouldn’t count on it. I don’t think she would ever want to work for Dana.
nah they have Laura Sanko for that and Laura sanko is a dime piece
She finessed ESPN outta Millions talk about robbery 😂😂😂
Or smart business
Stephen a is also doing the same thing
Phuck ESPN..
Good 4 her
@@chuyozuna2398 nope Stephen A actually works for his $$ he’s the face of ESPN
Thanks
When Beadle and Colin had SportsNation it was perfect. Marcellus and Max were good as well and Beadle coming back were solid. Once that nucleus left, it was over and done with for SN
This Beadle promo is over 9000! 🤣
Michelle ty for your service :) we miss you!
Can’t stand Steven A Smith he’s always annoyed me with his fakery… your a real one!
Sports nation with her and Colin was my favorite show on ESPN
Ariel was like:
👋 “could I ask…”
💣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
