ARIEL HELWANI interviews Michelle Beadle on Rachel Nichols leaving ESPN: 'Karma’s a b*tch' 

Le Bron hating on women. But it’s a “white” woman so that’s ok. The guy is such a hater of white people it’s disturbing

Beads!!!!!! An Ally and and always a person that stands for something💯💪🏿🙏🏿

One question before I listen to the whole interview. Does she get into any detail(s) as to why she doesn't like Stephen A Smith? Because I can't stand that clown and I'd love to hear what she doesn't like about him. To see if we agree on anything. On a side tangent.... IDK how anyone can watch him and mad dog yell at each other for 2+ hours. I get a headache just watching one segment on RU-vid.

Russo and Smith. Soooo contrived. The industry thinks this is somehow TV magic ... I don’t get it. And Russo so damn creepy looking

@@briankennedy2013 hell yeah man. That's the perfect word. Contrived. And the incessant yelling. Can't imagine people being interested in that for the long term. I feel it's gonna get really old really soon. If it doesn't then this country is even more brain dead than I thought it was.

Kenisha Luby • Right; That sh•t was funny (A.F)

Look like Spurs gone have the 1st WNBA player suit up in the NBA as a spur 😂

She’s a leftwing nutjob. Did herself in.

Her and Colin were awesome together on SportsNation.

@@Kobe8DaGreat24 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Five though.

Facts

She pissed off the queen haha was on his shit list

@@anthonyhuskett7413 she pissed off a lot more ppl than Goat James. She is definitely one of the most hated personalities on television behind Rachel Nichols.

Leave her where she is

Yes, countdown. I also love how she got really annoyed with Pierce 😂😂😂

Except Shaq mumbles. Makes no Effort to try to speak clearly. Lazy

ESPN is Disney too. Conservative company that wouldn't allow Barkley to get away with the stuff he says.

@@ocampbell1954 NBA Today don't have much of a filter too, like when Malika joked about Perkins weight 😂

@@ocampbell1954 Disney conservative??? Lol

You either have chemistry or you don't. And Barkley is the straw that stirs that drink. The day he retires, that show will be over too.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 They're going to give that position to Draymond.

Factz

I think they where both good

Man her and wiley were great. So many laughs. I loved her as a nets announcer too growing up.

Fact yeah I miss Michelle Beadle

Her and Collin had great chemistry. Stop watching that show when max, marcilus, and her were gone.

Agreed

They’re also good people. Shaq and Ernie are known for treating everyone with the upmost respect. Chuck is the most genuine tv personality ever. And Kenny… is just Kenny lol I’ve never heard or seen a bad thing about Kenny ever. They’re perfect together

@@dantheman8152 and that's exactly why their show is award winning!

They don’t say dumb and inappropriate shit usually. I guess that helps.

Yes. U right ✅

People like that get slapped- nick diaz

@@titancheat where I'm from *

I don’t understand how he’s stirring the pot. He literally just asking for her input and point of view.

@@REDANDSILVER741 he’s known for that among the fighters.

@@REDANDSILVER741 People say that he is stirring the pot are truly sensitive. He just wants insight.

Weird to think of it being her and Cowherd. Time flies.

Why does she have beef with everyone

💯

Yeah that was easily their best lineup

The fucking Mouse.

Bring back Paul Pierce

Yup!

Exactly! She could have been petty and took shots at certain ppl but instead kept it professional. Always had respect for Beadle since she went to my alma mater

Beadle isn't exactly professional though.

heard they got some big 'ol women down in San An'tonio

Same here. Always set the DVR to watch it when I got home. Love Beadle

She was awesome with Colin. That show was never the same

Same man. I wish they still did it together

Then I stopped when I saw how big of a head she got. Sports nation went to shit after the first season because of that

IT WAS THE BEST!!!

That was GREAT show. Really looked forward to it when I get out of school.

Her and Marcellus was so funny and entertaining

Who cares if she doesn't like Stephen A. Smith? Michelle Beadle is IRRELEVANT. She's been irrelevant for years. She got fired from ESPN for being lazy. Enough said.

Michelle doesn’t have a great rep during her time working for ESPN so there’s a lot of folks that didn’t like her. Idk why she’s even still talking about this, she’s been gone for several years now

@@vincew4297 leave her alone Rachel we can see through your BS

The TNT crew does not have incredible analysis lmao. They are just entertaining. Sometimes Chuch will spit out a gem but besides that there's not good analysis.

@@mith2946 Name a crew that does it better.

@@beachhunting69 Lol what? There's only two crews... Three if you count NBA TV. They are trash there's no competition. I love the TNT guys, they are entertaining. There's no good analysis though. I could name individuals... Tim Legler for example

@@mith2946 So you don't think those 3 guys, with all their experience in the NBA and winning championships, don't contribute in terms of game analysis ? They just entertain. Kenny Smith never has anything good to say ?

@@beachhunting69 Lmao Kenny Smith is the worst, he just rambles without saying anything of substance. If you think Kenny Smith is great, I pity you. Just because you are a great player doesn't mean you can break down players talents or strategy. Michael Jordan would be the best GM in basketball if that was the case, instead he's the worst.

That's not why Ernie is there but ok lol

mestizo311 Ernie has known Shaq since 89,when Shaq was going into his freshman year in LSU.He inteeviewed him and spent time with him.

It's Ernie's show

TNT claims to "know drama" in their slogan but ESPN is where the drama is at lol.

Of course fuck espn

Bradley & Wiley was terrible to watch

Wiley not so much. Hes pretty annoying and takes 10 minutes to comes to a pointless conclusion. MB is great though

@@jpcoqueran Dude you don't watch Marcelus Wiley to get wiser... you watch him cause it's fun hearing him say hugely exaggerated things in a very colorful way... Marcelus and the others made Michelle laugh a lot and that was the whole point of the show... have fun while talking sports... not to teach the audience about the art of basketball...

Not really

That sportsnation one with max kellerman her and I think there was black guy. That was awesome to watch

Exactly. I can't stand half the people on national shows. If I want a laugh I might watch skip and Shannon but that's about it anymore. Idk why I like their show and not the others but I do

@@stompingpeak2043 "Skeeeeee-illl-up" 🤣

@@bingram2011 TSSKIIIIIIUP!!*

@@stompingpeak2043 skip and Shannon have such great chemistry, definitely far more entertaining than any of the bozos on ESPN even Stephen A has became less entertaining

@@stompingpeak2043 then by not knowing there lies something in you

Ooooooh $h!+!, I didn't know that! What a BS contradictory move by her on camera in front of millions 🙄. Yikes

Because Ariel likes to start shiiiiiiet

She needs her own show. Say on a streaming provider

@@Hakeem990 Didn't she have her own show?

That 1st 30 had a strong “splash” of racism 😆 When white people comment stuff like this, it just seems to come from a White Supremacist standpoint. But have at it 🤦🏽‍♂️

Honestly I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I’m 29 years old and I remember watching hours of ESPN shows when I was a teenager with my friends. Now I may watch an hour at max. ESPN has changed from let’s talk about sports to let me give you my opinion on the world. Which is completely different then what it was first started as. It says something that when ESPN executives have had to say enough politics to the on air talent that they even needed to say it in the first place. Other then college game day I don’t watch ESPN shows at all.

If you read the book You Guys Have All The Fun about ESPN in the early days the content was the star when they had real talent you could not be bigger than the show; that’s back when they had real talent Oberman et al now the personalities are the stars.

Just watch the sports, and not the talking heads and it isn’t bad

@@xftbllplyr2091 It’s OK but again not what it was; of course Greenberg and Wilbon are old school and Milisa Andrew’s is amazing; but personalities like Stephan A Smith who ESPN claims to be front line talent; when you listen critically to what he says compared to a journalists like Wilbon and Greeny and my all time favorite Stuart Scott; who took the ordinary and mundane and made it poetic; Who put the term Cool as the other side of the pillow and put it inevitably into the lexicon of sports phrases for future generations; his actual general sports knowledge is a less less than stellar.

That’s when I first seen her on the Yes network, Vince cart and Jkidd days.

You definitely missed her lol

Don't forget she was being passed around in the nba bubble

She said she quit watching it or something to it

Yeah she got tired of the NFL not handling violence against women properly so she didn’t wanna cover it anymore

Bob Costas said the same thing which led to him leaving the Sunday Night Football pregame show!!

@@williamrichardson57 most employers don't handle it at all but I don't see women walking off those jobs....privilege at its best

@@geronimopratt7976 yeah well those jobs aren’t the same as TV jobs lol but I see your point, definitely is privilege but she has the right to do that so I’m not mad.

You mean WokePN

They need to stop that. If they want rating to go up, stop picking sides divisive issues that you don't have all facts on

@@Raphell28 The shareholders of Disney are fine with that, they preach the same message in their movies. Like with most marvel/Disney movies, the agenda comes FIRST before the quality of the product

Chuck would call that shit out on ESPN and they’d let him cause he brings the numbers. Big personalities can overcome that.

@@Lawrencethedestroyer “WokePN” sounds like a VPN service 💀💀💀

you want to get her in the sack...admit it dude...she didn't bring anything to any show.

Yeah ok

She lied on people

she's like a version of joy taylor that is actually good at her job. joy is all looks and no content but the simps treat her as if she has the biggest sports brain in history.

She could get a beer and something else too

She seems to be messy. She is always speaking about other people.

@@danieljenkins7951 your soft

“Steven A Snitch”

@@EclecticEngineer604 I am soft because I don't do gossip? That makes you lady like.

Honestly, its just natural its that simple

She was a shitty person also

This is probably your 1st time seeing her speak

@@sluglow6357 Actually it's not. It's probably your first time looking too deep into a simple comment.

@@TempeSoldier123 it’s actually your 1st time being caught in your own bullshit & not knowing how to respond

@@TempeSoldier123 by your logic she must feel liberated all the time lmao she never pulls any punches

@@nickhundoran2060 I don’t listen to her every word, so I wouldn’t know. I don’t have that much time on my hand. Judging by your logic, you clearly do.

LMAOOOOOO I was about to make that same comment

Exactly. They would have something good and get rid of it in a flash

ESPN is the microwave network

Espn is garbage as they are too controlling of their crews. All the way down to making them wear suit as tie

The emoji game always had me cracking up.

Sports Nation with that crew of Michelle Max Wiley was one of my favorite sports shows. And I only watch a couple of shows

Her and cowherd playing those games like BS meter were the jam

I wouldn’t count on it. I don’t think she would ever want to work for Dana.

nah they have Laura Sanko for that and Laura sanko is a dime piece

People are quick to believe in people

I had a 74 Beetle back in the day 🤔🤔😏😏

Rad?! Gotcha lol

@Khalil Cook did you really just take the time and go out of your way to make fun of someone using the word rad?! Great contribution to the discussion smh

Totally tubular, dude!!

FAR OUT, LETS GO SHRED SOME GNAR. SHAKA BRAH!

@@MoldyWzrd Were all here because we like Beadle, but somehow narrative gets deflected smh. I'm convinced ppl are hired to race bait on RU-vid. Or new generation doesnt know how to communicate. Either way, worlds going to shit Edit: I thought I'd mention I 100%agree with you if that wasnt obvious..wanted to keep it short

U one of the VERY few

Clearly you’re on an island by yourself lol This witch is filled with hate

Don’t think she had much impact yes she was cool on SportsNation for besides that nothing much I guess the NBA countdown eh there better with Jefferson better if they continue to replace them with former players

Meh...I found her to be annoying last week when I tuned into Warriors at Spurs. Didn't realize who she was at until something about her voice made me realize it was Beadle. She added nothing to the broadcast but complained about a few things as usual. But Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy annoy me too with their constant complaining and mindless banter. The NBA really does have an issue with their coverage regarding those who cover the league and in game commentary.

@@feliciasanders2066 Van Gundy is literally the only good color guy the NBA has, because he's the only one to call bullshit when refs are garbage (yes he goes overboard sometimes but 1) he's a former coach, of course he hates refs 2) NBA officials are generally always shit) and when the players start flopping too much. The flopping is a big one, bc no one else dares bring any attention to it, but is blatantly obvious to any fan that's been watching the game more than 15-20 years. Beadle is fine, and was honestly the only good host The Jump or whatever that garbage show is/was called has ever had. Nichols offered nothing, bc she was more concerned with which one of the players' d*cks she was gonna be riding later that night.

Bot alert

Think she does spurs commentary now

@michael brown She was apart of the Woke narrative tf.

She is the female Chuck 😁

I actually hated more then any other female on ESPN, She was way too feisty and toxic.

She's the female version of Keith Olbermann!!

Voice of the voiceless! I'd love to hear a pipebom from her!

@@wilnerolivier7971 WHO

Anyone who has worked for ESPN ain't the truth, you have to be a good liar to work for them lol
