ESPN hopes to make Peter Schrager its first homegrown star in over a decade | Bobby Burack

Comments

1. Jonasm: seems like schrager is getting the full monty treatment, but how will his new shows actually make an impact?
2. Elin: schrager needs to cut through the noise, be more than just a familiar face on tv 📺
3. Umbra Cinder: never liked the formula where they build shows around one guy, always seems forced to me
4. Dusk Raven: not sure this is gonna be good for ESPN if they're counting on him to fill a decade-long void, I mean Peter Schrager's work is fine but he comes across
5. Sanakarim: agree that this is the kind of stability he needs, but can he actually anchor his own show without relying on NFL Network's brand?
6. Onyx Sparrow: Sounds like they're trying to build around him again, but he still needs to prove himself on his own terms
7. Rogue Phantom: looks like they're counting on him to draw eyeballs back to ESPN
8. Marek: seems like a lot of pressure being placed on him to fill that homegrown star role
9. Iris: Peter Schrager needs to separate himself from the talking heads formula - we've seen so many take this route and get lost in trying to recreate others' success. Originality is
10. Echo Vesper: schrager's charisma is undeniable, but I worry he'll be pigeonholed into sensationalism to draw in younger viewers
11. Amir: so now ESPN's got another name on their marketing brochure - how does his reporting style differ from Pat McAfee and Stephen A then?
12. Theo: Honestly still don't see why they think this guy is their next big thing; seems like more of the same to me
