RealClearSports: You are the co-host, along with Colin Cowherd, of ESPN's newest sports commentary show, SportsNation, a show that's formatted to be driven by fan-generated content. How do you think the show has gone so far? And what do you think have been your biggest successes?

Michelle Beadle: I think the show is going very well. I think we kind of came out of the box having odd expectations, because we really are unlike other shows that are on. So I think in that regard we have surprised some people. Also, I'm a nobody, so for me I think people were waiting to see what I'm all about and what I talk about. So it's been fun.

Colin doing TV really has been an interesting experiment. I think the fact that we came out in the summertime has been an awesome, awesome thing, because we've had a lot of young people watching the show. We do a segment called "Fake Calls from Real Fans," and it's been a blast to listen to a seemingly seven year old call in as Sage Rosenfels.

It's just been good. I think the fact that we're so new and kind of have a clean slate is great.
