What would you have ESPN do? Axe some of the knowledeable people who might not make good tv and replace them with some tits and a few one liners, or try to marry the two together? Maybe you should freshen up on "Media 201".

How does Jeanine not appeal to the younger audience? She is well spoken well dressed and is extremely passionate about what she does. Yesterday you could tell she was about to or had cried because of the events of the Distaff. She is the sort of woman, who now that I am in my 20's would want to be friends with and if I was still younger would choose as a role model. Class act in my opinion.
I really hope she gets some sort of media award within the horse racing industry for her coverage with Barbaro.
Kenny Mayne is just too funny for words. I love what he brings to the program and Moss is a great balance to him.
