If this is what we can regularly expect from Irvin and Smith, this should be pretty hilarious. While debate shows are largely awful in terms of actual content, the least they can be is entertaining. This at least checks that box.

In addition to Michael Irvin, Tim Tebow will be another guest host. Itā€™s hard to see Tebow matching Irvinā€™s intensity as a host, but he does have plenty of experience as an analyst. They will definitely provide different viewing experiences, which is likely what ESPN is going for here.

Weā€™ll just have to wait and see how these experiments play out and if the viewers like them.
