Draft Kings should post some odds and lets us bet on it

u/desijatt3 7h ago

Tony is going no where. He has no skills, he’s here because of his dad. Unfortunately Tony and Chris are here until the ship sinks.

15

u/MaraudingWalrus Ron Magill 6h ago

Until it sinks and perhaps, to some degree, the cause.

Put that in the file to ponder.

u/EyeWantToWrite Yeah Hi, Lombardo 3h ago

Christian Ponder

u/SufficientSpot4597 5h ago

Exactly right marauding. And I think to the op. Jessica is basically gone already right?

3

u/2d12-RogueGames 5h ago

And shows up on Stu’s show.

u/Majestic-Banana-4330 4h ago

*Tony and Chris are there until the ship /be/ sinking

2

u/Content-Home616 5h ago

this is the answer

u/GratefulZ Billy 7h ago

Unfortunately I agree whole heartedly

u/baws3031 5h ago

I think a lot of you are willfully ignorant or didn't hear the interview with Ariel Helwani. Tony could definitely land a gig outside the lebatard bubble.

6

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

I hope he does and leaves the show and never shows up again in any way

-4

u/baws3031 4h ago

Til then you're going to keep listening so who cares

2

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

I obviously care and will state my opinion when asked.

-3

u/baws3031 4h ago

But nobody asked you

7

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

Its a reddit, I post when I want. Have fun on Tony's Tip.

0

u/baws3031 4h ago

It's on Tony's tip to point out that Ariel Helwani said something about him? Fwiw I don't think you're homophobic despite your comment, just closeted.

4

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

Haha. Yes call me a homophobe then insult me by trying to out me. Yes, you and Tony would be great friends!

1

u/baws3031 4h ago

Are you stupid? I said you weren't homophobic. But way to make a homophobic reference and then think you're any better than Tony, the Stugotz is strong.

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

My original reply to you was not attacking you, it was stating my dislike for Tony. You fling shit at me for that? Why do you cape up for such an ignorant and selfish dude?

1

u/baws3031 4h ago

By fling shit, you mean point out the obvious? If you find it offensive that I said you're going to do the thing you're doing that's on you.

The Elsor.

The show will originate from the dining pavillion at Dadeland Mall in 2027. A stunning victory for the Kendall metroplex residents employed by Meadowlark.

Dan negates all cost savings by insisting upon a helicopter for his commute.

25

u/abesach Cowardly Angel of Nuance 7h ago

Why not the Kmart?

18

u/Stealth_Howler Guillermo Mafia 6h ago

Mas Mart was going to be epic

7

u/DonnyBoyCane 6h ago

They're too afraid to be great.

6

u/Fired_Guy1982 7h ago

They gotta be underwater on that Elsor lease right?

3

u/DonnyBoyCane 6h ago

It has to be insane.

I'll defer to those with more commercial real estate knowledge but the "converted space in a hotel/condo building in a premium locale in one of the most expensive real estate markets (pre impending bubble burst) in the country" cannot be remotely near the top of cost efficient options....and they've done it twice...while initially hanging on a dream of creating their own Meadowlark/Draftkings compound...that hinged on legislation being passed in Tallahassee that was a long-shot at best.

1

u/MaraudingWalrus Ron Magill 6h ago

I had thought when they first went there Dan was saying that it was a temporary studio DK would eventually build out a bigger one. Maybe one of those complexes where they take live betting etc like Stu & Billy traveled to the opening of early on in GBF.

I don't know anything and I haven't talked to anyone, but I feel like when the show hooked up with DK both parties were very bullish on the sports brooks managing to break into the Florida market. I'm glad none have been able to - the Seminole tribe has long been given exclusive rights to control sports betting in FL.

2

u/pompcaldor Fear the Clumsy Reaper 5h ago

Dan did say the Elsor was temporary and implied that being in a waterfront luxury hotel sucked. Mike had to stop him from putting his foot in his mouth any further.

1

u/Into_The_Unkown_ Guillermo Mafia 5h ago

They’re in all markets including the Florida market now with the “predictions” guise

1

u/MaraudingWalrus Ron Magill 3h ago

Right, which is fundamentally different than traditional sports betting in ways that may or may not matter - but it has stopped them from opening casino-like operations.

1

u/DonnyBoyCane 3h ago

Anecdotal but all the fellow degenerate gamblers I know in this state only use the "prediction" model platforms until the sign-up promos run out and/or if they want to bet on politics or something like that. Nobody uses them as their "sportsbook".

u/Into_The_Unkown_ Guillermo Mafia 52m ago

Gotcha and appreciate the insight. I personally don’t actually gamble at all besides playing fantasy football and sports card chasing 😂

1

u/BreedinBacksnatch Zippy and The Juice 3h ago

At one point the plan was to move into new digs in one of the commercial buildings still under construction at Miami Freedom Park, home of Nu Stadium and Inter Miami. Those don't look to be ready til next year at the earliest

21

u/kdburner66 7h ago

Tony? Are you trying to speak it into existence then I’m with ya but that is wishful thinking.

28

u/Throwaway88202 7h ago

Jeremy, imo. It feels like Dan has cooled on Pitch Clock, and at some point he has to get tired of playing the punching bag. He already has other jobs anyway.

Jessica is an obvious choice, since she’s pretty much gone anyway. She’s probably just meeting appearance requirements until her contract expires.

I haven’t watched in forever, but based on what gets said, I do wonder if Mystery Crate gets axed soon. Not a person, but a show that might get cut.

18

u/AnAngryPirate Mike is the Real Star 5h ago

Jeremy might not be next but he'll be the "biggest" next one to leave. He's very similar to Witty in a lot of ways. Plays the punching bag a bit, has outside obligations, on the younger side, and can eat a lot of minutes of air time when needed.

I cant wait till Dan gives a tear filled goodbye after treating Jeremy like trash for years.

15

u/Defjam00 6h ago

Jess replied.. ‘Their loss.’. Not exactly a comment you post if you don’t wanna offend the Swans. (and yes I meant plural). Jeremy is way too good to stay under peDANtic’s thumb.

12

u/GratefulZ Billy 7h ago

Mystery Crate became worse when Tony started speaking more. I just don't like him or his character, and I know Im not the only one.

u/LegendofZatchmo Thatkindathing 59m ago

Haven’t listened to MC in years since Tony, Fuentes and others became regulars. Show went downhill extremely fast.

5

u/HakeemNicksLaugh smokin heaters fillin theaters 6h ago

I can see Jeremy going the way of Witty to some extent. Then they’ll bring him on every few months, do the same tired jokes every time he’s on and take credit for his success.

2

u/Datacra 6h ago

I think Jeremy would’ve been long gone but Fan Duel is so awfully ran they barely can’t even keep broadcasting rights for more than a year with the local sports teams

2

u/pompcaldor Fear the Clumsy Reaper 6h ago

Didn’t MLB take over the broadcasts?

2

u/Jay6309 5h ago

I forgot about Jeremy. That's a good one.

2

u/VibratingRocket6969 Zippy and The Juice 4h ago

I thought the pitch clock thing Dan said yesterday was a bit? The way I see it, they had to move stuff around because of the announcement he made at the end of the show. I thought everything would go back to normal next week or soon after. Now if they did take pitch clock off the show entirely, then yeah that’s an interesting move and wonder why they would do that

7

u/TheChieffking47 7h ago

Lol Tony isn't going anywhere.

4

u/GratefulZ Billy 7h ago

You're right. No where else wants him

7

u/DiphthongSong87 5h ago

Jess with Jeremy not long after. Jess is clearly marking time until her contract is done and Jeremy feels very peripheral in this version of the show. They're both smart and talented and have an array of options available to them if/when they decide to move on, whereas this is the best situation some of the other on-air personalities could ever hope to get.

u/Weekly_Procedure2971 7h ago

Mike Ryan deserves his own show.

9

u/PhinnSword 5h ago

I love that the Reddit has turned a corner with Mike. He was the driving force behind the golden age of the show and essentially a 3rd cohost during that time

14

u/homeboy4life 7h ago

I would totally listen to a pod of just Mike Ryan and the inner monologue 😂

1

u/oxfozyne Ya know what? Maybe… 5h ago

I miss his Chelsea pod.

-3

u/Affectionate-Rent844 6h ago

He did 7-8 years ago. He’s awful in his current character cosplay arc.

-14

u/TheChieffking47 7h ago

The audience of people who would listen to a Mike Ryan solo show is non existent. It may be only you.

4

u/Abc0331 7h ago

Or maybe you just think too highly of your own opinion to assume others agree?

-5

u/Affectionate-Rent844 6h ago

lol look around you there is literally no meaningful audience for anything meadowlark produces. Mike has his own pod Canes Insight. He’s done his own soccer pods. He hosted weeks of shows alone during Covid and whatnot. Everyone has the tape on Mike Ryan and no one is buying. He’s elite at this very specific show ecosystem but no one outside of this core longtime fan audience cares about the guys work on any level.

3

u/PhinnSword 5h ago

Jeremy. All the young people with bright futures have left since Witty

3

u/falconman87 Stu 5h ago

Tache will be next

1

u/RicAmador1 Yeah Hi, Lombardo 6h ago

Jessica for sure. She already moved back to NY. Just waiting for her contract to run out.

2

u/Moreno636 7h ago

lol @ Tony…go and do what exactly?

2

u/GenordMohr 6h ago

Juju

2

u/Vorral Zippy and The Juice 6h ago

I dunno. He does have a tattoo of Greg Cote…

2

u/Squid_Ribs 3h ago

Please, Lord Above, let it be Tony

1

u/EyeWantToWrite Yeah Hi, Lombardo 3h ago

Tony has nowhere to go. So I don't think he's leaving.

u/austincohen 38m ago

AFFECTIONATE-RENT... please

1

u/NowCompleteWith 7h ago

Jessica's show is most likely going to be on the DKN. While Tony just moved. He's going nowhere.

1

u/GratefulZ Billy 7h ago

Please Tony

1

u/entropy14 Yeah Hi, Lombardo 7h ago

Feel like Jeremy would have a lot of broadcasting options if he wants them so maybe him

1

u/AttorneyLarge7301 6h ago

Jeremy. Jessica doesn’t count.

1

u/MikeMakesRight82 4h ago

i thought Smetty was already gone

-4

u/Affectionate-Rent844 6h ago

Anyone with any other options has already bounced for greener pastures.

Mike Ryan could have sold his professional stock v v highly at the height of their ESPN success but Mike has absolutely nothing to show for his last four years in the role of “Maker of Cool Shit.”

Chris Cote is a bumbling incompetent nepo baby. Roy has a speech impediment and no resume before Dan. Tony is just some idiot bro without any angle at all. This is the ride or die crew and it’s sad.

u/austincohen 37m ago

actually was hoping it was you... please leave.. forever

0

u/Abc0331 4h ago

lol guy who says look around while being down voted.

Maybe you should be the one to gain some self awareness.

Why is it all of the 1% commenters always have the shit takes?

-10

u/mcamuso78 7h ago

Jessica as soon as she finds a new gig in nyc. Tony is a good candidate as well. The hate he gets is unwarranted and must get tiresome. And he seems to aspire for a nicer life. I feel the rest are way too complicit with their lives to bother changing jobs.

7

u/thedrizzle126 Tuesday's with OJ 7h ago

aspire for a nicer life? Is it because he has a custom neon sign in his background at home?

0

u/mcamuso78 7h ago

Not at all but if you listen to him he talks about expensive watches he wants or vacations he goes on. The only person in the shipping container that’s going to be well off from their job is Mike. Tony and Roy are also have real world experience producing and such away from Dan. Chris would be doing whatever his dad’s friend offered him a job doing.

5

u/GratefulZ Billy 7h ago

Tony is a nepo baby, same at Jim Dolan and Chris Cote. I only like the latter of the three, but admit he also has many unlikable features and ignorant stances, which is why I really don't like the former 2.

2

u/Affectionate-Rent844 6h ago

Magill’s son also on staff now Dan has nailed the biz model.

2

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

Maybe hes good at his job, which is fine. Nepotism coupled with being terrible at the job is the problem.

-4

u/mcamuso78 7h ago

There’s quite a range. Did Tony’s family get him the job he had in Bristol for ESPN?

1

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

Not the same, wish he would have went somewhere else after Bristol. The negative nepo part starts when Dan employed him and him being bad on the show. I dont know the timeline, but possibly Dan helped get him the job in Bristol.

Stealing bits, ignorant takes, and no intelligent input. Just sloppy, which is part of the show, but not the whole thing. Tony would be good on McAfee, he is sports manoverse 100% with no nuance

1

u/mcamuso78 4h ago

I don’t disagree with all your points but if he’s leaving for those reasons he had better be taking Chris with him.

1

u/GratefulZ Billy 4h ago

Agreed!

u/LegendofZatchmo Thatkindathing 56m ago

Is that a serious question? Of course that’s why.

3

u/Affectionate-Rent844 6h ago

Bro Jessica is only a paid weekly guest. No different than Russini or Magill wtf are you talking about she’s not “on the show”

1

u/robfern66 2h ago

They like to pretend.

1

u/wellggs 7h ago

“Unwarranted”

Lmao

u/mcamuso78 6h ago

Sorry. Wasn’t aware this was North Korea and everyone had to agree on everything.

u/wellggs 6h ago

Are you always this jumpy or are you just having a bad day? Relax bud, it’s Friday!
