Can't say that I am dissappointed. I never much cared for Ward.

I'm more stoked about Craig James no longer being on ESPN.

I remember hearing her try to call some games....I needed counseling afterwards.

Erin Andrews just left them too. I hope that means more Sam Steele.

Well, ESPN definitely catches all the "fluff" awards in sports broadcasting. And, not just for the females.
In my opinion, I wish they didn't have such a monopoly on good sports games.
Swamp Daddy,

I am also relieved that she is no longer with ES*#. She will fit in with the pom pom girls at FOX, I'm sure.
You must mean Sage Steele, and I can't wish for more airtime for her. Certainly much less grating than Andrews, but I would prefer Lindsay Czarniak.

Swamp Daddy,

I wish ES*# would do an experiment that NBC tried once in 1980 with one of their NFL games; no play by play announcers. I would suggest to keep the important matchups with announcers. The rest of the games would sound better without.

Well, it's my understanding, via a recent visit to ESPN.com, that their name now stands for Every Sports Person Naked.
However, one of the more abrasive commentators, is also gone. In the person of Trevor Matich. I cringed every time he did a game.
Life is full of change, Swamp daddy

No I meant Sam (Samantha) Steele and she got the gameday gig plus sidelines on the Thursday games.
