Sports Reporters became unwatchable when Dick Schaap died.

Do not agree. Particularly since he was the host and is more or less there to direct traffic and is the least controversial person on the show. I think John Saunders does a good job and the panelists are mostly the same as when Schaap was alive. Except for that fat tub of goo Bill Conlin, good riddance.

Lupica and Albom would defer to Schaap, and he was able to rein them in (especially Lupica) when he became ultra-preachy. Also, his parting shots were consistently of a higher quality than Saunders.

Albom/Ryan/Schaap/Lupica ftw.

FU John Feinstein/Jackie MacMullin/Bill Conlin and his Michael Strahan teeth.
