Curious as to What Underhill and Triplett Are Saying about Organizational Change

I might be a little old school but you're not going to get "straight talk" from folks like Nick, Mike, etc. The last straight shooter was Buddy and he's been gone for awhile now.

At one point Eric Asher appeared to be the guy, but since he's now on TV,he's limited on what he can say.

Your best bet is to find one of these podcasts that haven't blown up yet.

The revisionist history for Buddy D is over the top these days. He was a loud mouth who knew next to nothing about the game. This is the guy who campaigned for Mike Ditka to be the head coach. He was a personality, not a serious journalist. And that was great for him because his job was to get ratings by creating controversy on the radio.

ESPN has ruined what people expect and want from sports reporters. People want rage, controversy, hot takes, and calling teams and players out. They don't want actual news or information. They want to hear their displeasure repeated by people in the media. They want their feelings validated by the media regardless of if they have any basis in reality or not.
