FS1’s ‘Wake Up Barstool’ gets hit with first dump button during Dave Portnoy’s conversation about cocaine
"That was the first one, right?"
"That was the first one, right?"
"I probably shouldn't have said that..."
"Now we're talking with you instead of at you."
Parkins arrived at FS1 last year with the blessing of Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright, but now finds himself shoehorned into "First Things First" without a clear path forward.
“We’ve built a community that talks about sports the way fans actually do, and now we get to do it every morning on national television."
"Support your team...Wherever you live."
“Every time someone brings up Jason Whitlock, I’m like… I can’t believe he’s still with us.”
The still-unnamed Barstool television show will seemingly premiere Sept. 2 on FS1.
The request was shot down by a judge last week, seemingly due to a legal technicality, meaning the case is still technically ongoing.
"If these are so important to everybody, I feel like we should find out why."
"It can be boiled down to, for the internet, as 'Joy Taylor is no longer at FS1.' And that's a simple way of looking at it."
Barstool owner Dave Portnoy said "White Chocolate" will appear on the company's forthcoming new FS1 television show.
McIntyre's new contract aligns with that of Colin Cowherd, as the two will shuffle between Chicago and Los Angeles to broadcast "The Herd" for at least three more years.
"I will do everything in my power not to mess it up."
...And podcasts haven't fully replaced them. We are in sports content purgatory.
The sports media veteran joined Fox in November 2018.
“They had to tear all those shows down. Because of not only the rumors, but the stuff they found out in the investigation. That thing was ugly…Had to happen.”
FS1's new daily lineup is now set.
"The Murdoch family is very comfortable with you having lots of opinions"
"I'll look him dead in the eye and tell him, 'This right here is nothing compared to the SEC.' I have no problem doing that."
"When we did the ESPN deal, they looked like they had a sour taste in their mouth every time they looked at me."
"They did it on someone else’s platform, so now you’re disposable to them."
"You're supposed to try stuff that you believe in, that you think is a good idea. Maybe people don't like it, fine. But you're not supposed to immediately go, 'You like this, here is this-lite.'"
"It's not going to take away from what we do here."
"It's an incredible opportunity."
Nothing is guaranteed, though.
Parkins is currently signed to a multi-year deal with Fox Sports.
Portnoy is acknowledging the reporting, and already starting to work an angle with the Ohio State fans who are sure to be cranky about his hire if it happens.
Dave Portnoy is headed to Big Noon Kickoff.
"I also saw where Craig Carton could be reportedly headed back to WFAN."
Despite network shakeups, Parkins is filling in on First Things First and is expected to stay with FS1.
"The lawsuit is the biggest indicator that this had to happen"
Reali is reportedly seeking opportunities in both television and the digital space.
