CBS, a television network perhaps best-known for having slightly-better programming common sense than the other three "big" networks, announced an all-female sports show that will air on CBS Sports Network starting in September. The show is being described as "akin to The View meets Pardon the Interruption". Because THAT'S what the world was missing.
Naturally, the most elite of snarky Internet media jumped on this announcement, and this exchange came across my feed this morning:
Any show w/ "…but for sports" as pitch always is RT @Deadspin: CBS to launch "The View" for sports, a terrible idea. http://t.co/2uJ5cJ8237— Dan Rubenstein (@DanRubenstein) August 11, 2014
