- Wilbon named Mike Greenberg, Stephen A. Smith and Scott Van Pelt as active contenders whose order would depend on the time of year and audience interests.
- For a strongly transaction-focused NFL audience, he pointed to Adam Schefter, while he said baseball fans might favor Buster Olney or Jeff Passan.
- Wilbon omitted Pat McAfee because he does not follow McAfee’s newer show, though he acknowledged that McAfee reaches an audience beyond ESPN.
- Wilbon also criticized ESPN for dividing sports coverage into separate sport silos and making much of it transactional.
Bristol turned everybody in this profession into a silo.— Michael Wilbon, discussing ESPN's organizational structure and the siloing of the sports media, during the Awful Announcing Podcast interview (July 2021).
