Hill returns to TV post-ESPN with ‘Shut Up and Dribble’
Jemele Hill's first couple months since leaving ESPN have been busy. There have been speaking engagements, writing for The Atlantic and starting to set up her own production company. What Hill hasn't done is appear on television. But that changes on Saturday when Hill debuts as the narrator for the Showtime documentary series "Shut Up and Dribble." The three-part project examines the intersection of three subjects she is extremely familiar with — basketball, culture and politics. "It has been busy (since leaving ESPN) but it also has been exciting and exhilarating," Hill said. "I like to align myself with people and content that will resonate." When Hill left her role as a co-host on "SC6" after one year to return to writing, many wondered how long it would be before she left ESPN. Her last day was Sept. 14 after both sides agreed to a buyout.

Michigan football best bet to reach CFP as 1-loss team: ESPN
Chris Thomas Detroit Free Press Published 1:52 PM EDT Oct 19, 2018 Michigan football hasn't officially shaken its rivalry-game yips, but that hasn't affected its odds to reach the College Football Playoff. ESPN ranked college football's one-loss teams by playoff potential in a story posted on Friday, and Michigan (6-1) leads the pack over the likes of Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida and LSU (in that order). "Given how poorly Georgia played in its loss to LSU and the Bulldogs' difficult upcoming schedule, it seems — at least for now — more likely that the Wolverines will win their league, rather than Georgia winning its," the author, Heather Dinich, wrote in her analysis. "Michigan might wind up having the best loss in the country — the season opener to Notre Dame. It certainly wouldn't keep the Wolverines out of the selection committee's top four if Michigan were to win out."
