I didn't see this one coming. Not this quickly. ESPN just spent the $ to move production to L.A. The network seems commited to the show. Cassidy Hubbarth co-hosted the Saturday version on ESPNU this past CFB season. Maybe she'll get a shot. Maybe Sara Walsh. ESPN has no shortage of attractive women, but SportsNation requires chemisty/timing/humor between the host+hostess and guest. Beadle had it. Charissa had it once she got settled in on the show. I like the mix of youtube videos, highlights, infomation, interviews, and lighthearted debate. We can get scores and injury/trade updates from the internet and social media. SportCenter shifted focus a few years ago to try and stay relivent. It's hard to watch now. I hope SportsNation can find another female co-host and stick around. I don't think any of us want another hour of ESPN presents Skip Bayless yelling and arguing. :Tantrum

Wonder if the WWL would pick someone it knew wouldn't bolt
Thinking specifically of Linda Cohn, who easily could handle the format

No offense to Linda Cohn, but the Sportsnation format is a better fit for a younger peron

She said she's off the rest of the week at the end of the show yesterday. I think she'll be back monday.

Technically she's headed back to FOX.

Does this mean Cassidy Hubbarth moves up to the regular SportsNation?

The question is does the show stay in LA or go back to CT? That could be a factor on who is the next co-host.

Guys I wouldn't be too upset the new Fox Sports1 channel has a very good chance at being better than ESPN.

Charissa and Erin, it should be fun.

It is just a matter of waiting for further announcements on what type(s) of show(s) they will host or report on.

This makes sense as ESPN just stole Jaymee Sire from CSN Bay Area. She will be the next rising star behind Cassidy Hubbarth

Yes. It. Did. And as much as Cowherd annoyed me, he and Beads were good together.

She's cute, but I don't know if she's got Hubbarth-level star quality. Haven't seen enough of her yet to tell. More like Linda Cohn maybe, whom I really like, by the way. I look forward to checking her out.

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Reischea Canidate?

She looked great too.

Nobody has Fox Sports One yet. Fox Sports One will take the place of Speed Channel.
