Corso needed to retire about a decade ago. It’s cringeworthy and embarrassing and I’m shocked that ESPN continues to allow him to embarrass himself on national TV.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

He could run for POTUS.

Agreed, it’s really sad. All in the name of a one-note headgear gimmick that became a self-parody long ago.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Reminds me of some of the poor souls who gets told by their CPA that their kids are fleecing them.

They did a bunch of stuff for him a couple years ago as if he was retiring but it never happened. Contract? He signed an extension in 2017 but it does not say for how long?

It’s been like that for a few years. They have to pre-script Lee’s mascot head pick monologue with Herbie involved because Lee sadly doesn’t have the brain power to remember what to say or be trusted to come up with what to say organically.
It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

It's been rough for Lee for a few years. He needs to be finished after this year. I know he loves it, but it's not right to put him out there like this in his current cognitive state.

I will say this, props to Kirk for his class and kindness to the ole guy.
Yes, he’s been a good friend to Lee.
I wish Lee was still coherent. I used to love his stories of being Burt Reynolds’ roommate at Florida State and benefitting from Burt’s overflow of female attention - haha

No it’s not moron, he has a contract to do so that he signed! That’s just your opinion.

He’s slurring his words from his stroke.

Come on, man, it’s painful to watch. He’s embarrassing himself and probably isn’t self-aware enough to realize it.

The best was 10+ years ago when Lee dropped the F bomb on GameDay. Can we have that Lee back?

Pat McAfee is added to Gameday for the balance of the season:

Pat McAfee will make his official debut on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
Maybe he can wrestle Corso in a gimmick match - "Loser retires". Lol.Pat McAfee is added to Gameday for the balance of the season:

I don’t get the add. Personality wise he’s more Barstool than ESPN. You’d think, given the fact that Des already has the clown role covered, GameDay would have gone with someone to match Kirk and Reeces more professional tones.

McAfee will probably take on the Corso sideshow role during the picks whenever Corso goes away.

Some just don't know what it's time to go...like the guy in your avatar.

Trying to grab his followers? Compete with Fox? As Orin said what does he add? Time will tell I guess.Pat McAfee is added to Gameday for the balance of the season:

He is still pretty sharp in his mind but the ability to verbally express himself well has been limited since his stroke.
I cared for my dad for 30 years who had dementia - the last 10 were a real struggle. He had 3 strokes in 2020 and that added a whole new level of struggle to the situation. I didn't get a lot of help with him and I would get frustrated. My wife would remind me that I wouldn't have him for long and I needed to try to appreciate him while I can. The 3rd stroke did him in.
I guess I look at Lee in that light. He is a treasure and I'm going to try to appreciate him while we have him. It won't be for much longer.
But there is something legit to the point that perhaps it's not the best idea to put his struggles and deteriorated state on national television - that it's not the best thing for him.
Seeing how much Kirk clearly loves the man, I suspect that Lee has felt that having GameDay to look forward to helps keep him going and Kirk has made that happen.

i think he needs to retire from Gameday and then work with Biden on his speeches......

If we're going to take ESPN personalities off the air for embarassing comments...where does the line stop. About 80% of their on air personalities would be out of work. ESPN is in the entertainment business, it's not sports.
