you know what i hate the most about espn is the gender equality thing they keep shoving in may face.

a couple of years ago, they started puttin a woman doing color analyst and i think even play calling for some saturday college football.

i think i have heard a female analyst on a golf tourney on espn and now they've got sportcenters running with 2 women, no guy anywhere.

thats totally fine to do that, but hey espn; who is your freaking audience ?

MEN, especially college football and golf. if more than 10% of the women watching arent watching because some guy theyre dating or married to is watching it' i would be very suprised !

and you know what men want to hear calling games ? OTHER MEN !

what freaking idiot executive at espn decided this is a good idea should just go ahead and turn his dick in. he obviously doesnt know what having a dick means.

if i turn on a college football game on espn and hear a woman, i turn it off.

No golf channel coverage of the open so I flip over to sports center.

They air a segment on Tiger (+12) a full half hour before covering the actual champion Dufner.

**Bobcat Sig** · 08-12-2013, 01:32 PM

I like most of the ESPN Radio offerings, but Mike & Mike is schlockey, horrible, fake, awful radio. "Hey look, it's a fat guy and little guy. Oh the hilarity of the fat guy and little guy jokes!"

Who listens to Mike & Mike and thinks it is good radio ... or sports, period?

Awful, just awful.

**montanaskier** · 08-12-2013, 02:09 PM

ESPN is lowest common denominator stuff. It's what moves the dial, not what's good.

**WWCD** · 08-12-2013, 02:58 PM

Today's sportscenter had a segment on non sports middle siblings, because it national middle child day. Riveting stuff.

Only a few more days until Fox Sports 1 goes live.

**hatchgreenchile** · 08-12-2013, 09:11 PM

Listed to Mike and Mike this morning. They were pretty offended by the clowns yelling things at the PGA tourney. You'd think someone was burning an American flag on the field...

That is getting out of control.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-12-2013, 10:11 PM

Sunday was unbearable with the asshats yelling Howard Stern shit. Who still listens to Stern anyway - 13 year olds?

**hatchgreenchile** · 08-12-2013, 10:19 PM

Baba Booey!

Went to a PGA tourney once and got chewed out for walking while someone was putting 60 yards away. It was comical, but that's golf right?

**chatton18** · 08-13-2013, 10:10 AM

The thing about yelling at golf tournaments is its just not cool or unique anymore. A couple BabaBooey shout outs over the years have been funny...in particular the OJ/Peter Jennings one but "Get in the Hole" shit was old in 2003. I don't know how its gotten worse in recent years.

We're not the only ones that are tired of espn.

Hugh Conway · 08-15-2013, 07:39 PM

Why the fuck did they hire back Keith Olberman? Why would anyone hire him, much less hire him back?

**iceman** · 08-15-2013, 08:34 PM

Olberman is employed again? yeesh.

**smmokan** · 08-16-2013, 03:14 PM

Let me get this straight.... they fire Hugh Douglas because he got into an argument with Michael Smith, but they still employ Jalen Rose after he got a DUI? Yeah, makes sense.

**HansJob** · 08-16-2013, 05:36 PM

Hugh most likely called him a "fag" or sumtin. ESPN had to act decisively or face derision for not acting sooner. Douglas would crush him like a bug.

Yeah, but, he immediately neuters his argument by reminding us that Fox is starting a sports channel, which, of course, will make ESPN look like the pinnacle of sports journalism.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-18-2013, 07:48 PM

The headline "Serena melts in Cincinnati" instead of highlighting Azerenka's win (or Isner's appearance in a Masters event final or even Nadal's win over Isner"

You'd think there are like 5 Ath-el-etes (#stephenAsmithvoice) on the planet with this fucking network.

Oh, and yet another pointless Boston-Yankees game on Sunday night.

Just hire Perez Hilton already

N.F.L. Pressure Said to Lead ESPN to Quit Film Project on head injuries in NFL

**Bobcat Sig** · 08-23-2013, 10:55 AM

I cannot wait for MLB to be over for the season. Why? So the twits will stop blabbering on about A-Rod. Give it a fucking rest, already. There are some many other, better storylines at the moment; NFL, College Football, Soccer ... anything else.

**smmokan** · 08-23-2013, 11:19 AM

ESPN is like the fucking elementary school tattletale that everyone hated... it's amazing the shit they "report" when it's not confirmed or even true.

And what's with the ".... first reported by Bob Smith." Who the fuck cares who reported it first?
