The Daily Line On Versus

Apr 9th, 2010
by RDM.

Versus has a new live show called The Daily Line. The show has four main hosts. First, Liam McHugh, who has been a contributor to ESPN the Magazine. Second, Reese Waters, a stand-up comedian. Third, Rob DeAngelis, who is the numbers guy as he puts it – he is a handicapper. Last but not least, Jenn Sterger, the Florida State Cowgirl herself.

The show is in the same vein as SportsNation or other similar programs, but at the time has it’s own unique charm.

The show just started up this past week and I started to DVR it a few days back. After watching a few of the episodes, I think this thing could definitely have staying power.

My favorite part of yesterdays show was the absolute grilling of a writer from ASeaOfBlue.com. It was refreshing to have the hosts not always agree with the guest. It got a little awkward at the beginning, but Liam and Reese were able to pull everything together.

Although I stated The Daily Line is similar to some other recent sports satire shows, it is by no means a carbon copy. I like the betting aspect that DeAngelis brings and of course I like the blog insights that Sterger injects into the show.

The show airs live each weekday at 6 PM ET with a number of replays there after. Give it a chance.

    I wish I had a way to explain how much I dislike The Daily Line. I get what they are trying to do, sports news and topics with comments that are at times on the edge…comments I guess you would not hear on ESPN or some other sports outlet. Maybe it’s just me if you like meaningless banter then The Daily Line might be for you maybe it’s entertaining. I would be very surprised if the show lasts. My suggestion to make the show better would be to get rid of the girl that is on now who is basically just a pretty face that sits there behind a laptop and winks at the camera from time to time. Replace her with another female that fits the shows aim (comedy / edginess) who can look however. Then that Reese guy can stop trying so hard to be funny. Maybe the humor will come more naturally and the girl won’t just be like a living mannequin with a Twitter account.

    This show stinks to high heaven. Tries so hard and comes up very short. It has all the stereotypes, the "funny guy" who is just plain talking out of his arse half the time, the tank top girl who speaks like she is programmed, and the other dudes that just like to talk like they are interesting or really interested. After leaving it on for the last few weeks after Tour De France, they are trying to be edgy and pretty much making a jerk out of the same people who make a stupid show like this possible. The thing is they just come off as boring and or just a bad version of those hags on the view. Its on now, they studder and just make fun out of the headlines, yet have not real contributions other than high school comments. Terrible. Won't last long. Or will get yanked when the big draws that put Vs. on map complain to network heads they don't need to be watched and then made a goof of by these losers right after. Oh jeez, the comedian just made a joke about a BMX bike which made no sense cuz they had to break it to him this bike too had a chain like the pros. Its not a big wheel you dumbass!

    I am sick of this show already. The Tour de France (and you bike haters can suck it) is on now and they keep showing episodes of The Daily Line in between showings of the day's stage. They make stupid comments about bikes, etc. that just show their complete ignorance of the sport. At the same time trying to pander to the 'Tour fans' as they put it. They need to stick to sports they know. And that Jenn Sterger? Not hot, and those cartoon bolt on boobs hurt to look at. Please go back to nature sweety, you got a little too much for your money from the 'doctor'. Plus she reads from the teleprompter like she's well, reading from a teleprompter. Ugh.
