Report: Barstool Sports personalities could be coming over to ESPN

ESPN is making some big moves this month in terms of on-air talent.

After adding the popular Katie Nolan from FOX Sports, the Worldwide Leader is now reportedly looking to add a pair of Barstool Sports personalities.

According to The Ringer, ESPN is working on contracts for popular “Pardon My Take” hosts Big Cat and PFT Commenter:

The contract for Big Cat and PFT hasn’t been finalized, according to a source. The show would air on ESPN2. Details about what Big Cat and PFT would actually do are sketchy, thanks to what another source familiar with Embassy Row described as an unusually rushed production schedule. But the source said the show would likely hew to Embassy Row’s low-fi model, in which “content producers become on-camera people for not a lot of money.”

It doesn’t sound like the most concrete plan at the moment, but it does appear there is serious interest in making a deal happen.

Should a contract be finalized, it will be interesting to see what sort of show the hilarious duo comes up with.
