FS1's "Ball" Game Is Over for Danny Parkins...Sort Of
Posted by ABRockNJock on July 14, 2025, 3:31 pm
It was nearly a calendar year ago when Danny Parkins signed off at 670 AM The SCORE to take a TV job on FS1 to host a morning sports talk/debate show which would also include "NFL on FOX" analyst Mark Schlereth & longtime New York sports talk radio host Craig Carton.
That show was called "Breakfast Ball", which originated in New York and had aired weekday mornings 7-9A (CT) since last fall. Unfortunately for Parkins, Carton & Schlereth, the "Ball" game is over.
The morning show was among 3 FS1 shows that were cancelled today by the network, unable to find much footing. A FOX Sports' spokesperson declined comment, but a source said that Parkins is expected to continue at the network in a different capacity.
Parkins is actually coming back to The SCORE, albeit for 24 hours, July 31 & August 1 to host the Audacy-owned sports talk station's "Cubs For A Cure" radiothon. Parkins initially signed off WSCR August 16 last year, coinciding with the conclusion of last year's broadcast event.
As I mentioned above, "Breakfast Ball" was among 3 FS1 shows that were cancelled today. To learn more about the other shows, hopefully without the dreaded paywall, here are the links:
