<i>Fox Sports Live</i> Relaunches; Spends Most Of Time Mocking Show's Low Ratings
Fox Sports 1 relaunched Fox Sports Live tonight in hopes a revamped format might spark the highlight show’s inexplicably bad ratings. What we got instead was hosts Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole in a miniscule studio repeatedly mocking the previous incarnation’s failures with their signature brand of Ca...
U Can't See Me
No, seriously, Jamie Little clearly can’t see John Cena, today’s pace car driver....
Sources: Fox Sports Bosses Wanted Colleen Dominguez To Get Erin Andrews Makeover, Facelift
This past December, Colleen Dominguez filed an age and gender discrimination lawsuit against Fox Sports 1. In the complaint, Dominguez, who came to the network in 2014 as a sideline and features reporter after a long run at ESPN, alleged that all the choice assignments were given to younger reporter...
FS1 Host Dan O’Toole Blasts Fox Sports For Layoffs
Somewhere along the line, Fox realized that Fox Sports 1 can’t (and maybe shouldn’t) compete with ESPN at its own game, and instead decided to court that silent-but-significant minority of sports fans: reactionary, regressive, and crypto- and not-so-crypto-racist. For a hundred years or more, this w...
This Photo Of John Wall Will Probably Get More Viewers Than Colin Cowherd's TV Show
Last week, Sports Illustrated reported network Fox Sports 1 is ending Fox Sports Live as we know it, after the would-be SportsCenter competitor helmed by popular Canadian anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole failed to live up to its lofty projections. Its viewership was never particularly commanding, ...
Rob Gronkowski Grinds On Fox Sports Anchor
Rob Gronkowski was on Fox Sports today, and the topic of his supposed brief career as a stripper came up. Anchor Julie Stewart-Binks suggested he should dance for her. “If you had a chance to make some more money using, maybe, me ...” she said. “Wanna maybe show us a little Magic Mike?” Gronk agreed...
Fox Sports Publishes, Deletes Bad Royals Blog
Today, Fox Sports published an article about how the 2015 Royals are “one of the worst AL teams” to win a World Series since 2000. One could make this oddly specific claim, provided one had stats and evidence to back it up. The article, however, had a list of batting averages. That was it....
Ohio State Forces Overtime With Last-Second Goal Off The Draw
Ohio State came back to beat Michigan at home tonight after nine rounds of penalty shots that only happened because Anthony Greco forced overtime by scoring the tying goal with seven seconds remaining—off the faceoff....

Kenny Florian Plagiarizes For UFC Article; Fox Sports Calls It An "Oversight" [UPDATE: Florian Suspended]
Fox Sports is, as a whole, garbage, so it’s hardly surprising to learn that the UFC partner’s preview of this weekend’s Fight Night bout between TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz contained material stolen word-for-word from another fight writer....
“I’ve sat for months on end waiting for any assignment while I watched other Fox reporters working almost daily throughout the last year. It feels punitive, as if I did something wrong. I didn’t.” Colleen Dominguez writes about her age and gender discrimination lawsuit against Fox Sports. [San Diego...
Fox Loses Broadcast During World Series
It’s not just you: during the bottom of the 4th inning of tonight’s World Series game from Kansas City, Fox’s broadcast cut out. After a few seconds Fox cut to a clearly confused Dan O’Toole in the studio, who explained that power was lost to Fox’s truck, and got Dontrelle Willis to blab about god k...
Nation Demands Pro-Jonathan Papelbon Takes; Fox Sports Provides Them
The trouble with a story like yesterday’s Bryce Harper-Jonathan Papelbon fight in the Nationals dugout is that it does not contain much—any—ambiguity. It is unambiguously wonderful, that oh-God-this-is-so-fucking-stupid kind of wonderful, and also Jonathan Papelbon unambiguously is a belligerent too...
Report: Jason Whitlock Negotiating To Leave ESPN, Rejoin Fox Sports
Ever since he was booted from the website he was hired to create at the beginning of the summer, Jason Whitlock has aimlessly putzed around the ESPN empire, writing a couple of online columns and guest hosting PTI. Now the other shoe seems to be dropping, with Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand r...
Pilot Killed In Crash Wasn't Hired By Eagles Fans To Taunt Cowboys
Despite reports in national media outlets that a banner-carrying plane hired by Philadelphia Eagles fans to taunt the Dallas Cowboys crashed at Compton Airport, killing the pilot, the Los Angeles Times and other Southern California-based sources have confirmed that’s not the case....
Craig James Sues Fox Sports For Religious Discrimination
Befitting a man who espoused homophobic beliefs during a failed Senate run, believes himself to be Christian martyr, and has been dogged by allegations that he killed five hookers while at SMU, Craig James sued Fox Sports on Monday for religious discrimination, alleging that he was fired because of ...
Reports: Colin Cowherd To Leave ESPN, Join Fox Sports
Notable smegma man Colin Cowherd is ending his tenure at ESPN and apparently bringing his show to Fox Sports. (While a deal isn’t yet finalized, that seems like a formality.) The Big Lead’s Ryan Glasspiegel first reported the move....
Katie Nolan Devastates Co-Worker's Horrible Blog On <i>Garbage Time</i>
Fox Sports personality and Garbage Time host Katie Nolan was among the first to call bullshit on this “How To Land A Husband At The Masters” post that appeared on co-worker Clay Travis’s Fox-owned Outkick The Coverage blog when it popped up last week. That the outspoken and generally awesome Nolan ...
Report: ESPN And Fox Sports Nearly Traded Employees
Hey, here's a fun little story. Remember last week when Fox Sports's Katie Nolan went on the BS Report, and she and Bill Simmons kinda coyly reminisced about a failed attempt at bringing her over to Grantland, in the way that people talk about these things on the BS Report, where they don't actua...
