Spears & McElroy were pretty good together, but good grief, where in the world did this new crew come from?

SEC Network talent has all been gobbled up by ESPN. We never should have partnered with them. That said I didn't really care for ToL even when Spears and McElroy were on it.

Yeah we really should’ve. At least until the money is better elsewhere.

Is that the permanent lineup? I was hoping they were just filling in for Spears and McElroy.

It's permanent and it sucks. I had high hopes because I like Spencer Hall. But where did they find those other two guys, at a freaking job fair in Cumberland Mall?

I think the girl hosting is fine - she's just coming off a little too dominant because the others are virtual. But geez, this show looks like it's going to be the king of the unfunny scripted hot take.

Well that sucks. I really enjoyed TOL, but this lineup is unwatchable.

When everything sucks, does anything really suck?

Yeah, I do too, but I don't think he came off well in this format.

I thought Richard Johnson (the other Florida guy) actually did pretty well, but Boykin (the Georgia guy) was terrible.

These "Zoom call" shows are really going to have to find a way to overcome the few seconds of delay, because it kills any sort of timing.

I gave it about 12 minutes. That was 11 minutes longer than I should have.

You should know that a network that gives several hours of airtime to that bore Finebaum every day is going to muck it up.

I was a big fan of this show in the past.

If I recall, Spears and Mac brought in a third guy who was supposed to be a funny compiler of online clips and commentary, but he really just ended up awkwardly sitting around and never added much.

They replaced him with this former reporter from South Carolina, Alyssa Lang, who was similarly but slightly less awkward.

And now for some reason she's the actual host, presumably because she's the only person who lives close enough to drive in to the studio.

I don’t know who any of these people are, except Alyssa Lang.

So annoying they force women into these roles and they offer zero value besides eye candy. Did it during the Stanley Cup as well.


Let the men talk sports.

If she's eye candy, I put her in the Chick-o-Stick or Zagnut bar category. Not exactly a Reese's Cup.

When she's not yapping about twitter follows, she's hot.

That show did not need a woman host. It was perfect the first year when it was just GMac and Spears


They did a great job with the show, it did not need a woman host to be there for two people.
