How do I hate thee ESPN?, let us count the ways

[BmillsSkier]

I'd dedicate a 60" screen in every room of my house exclusively to the PBA Channel if Big Ern McCracken was on tour.

[SkiBall]

I kind of like it. It's just that it is just off to the side a little so what looks to be a strike on the corner is actually not a strike when they show with the box. Fucks with me.

[BmillsSkier]

John Clayton out as well.



And this harbinger of doom:

"Among other changes at ESPN: a focus on more personality-driven programming such as the new morning show starring "Mike and Mike" host Mike Greenberg, set to premiere early next year."

Yay, that's just what they need. More lifestyle segments.

[The SnowShow]

Wow, more Lame and Lame? I heard they hate each other.

[alias_rice]

Other than live sports, I watch highly questionable and occasionally PTI. Does anyone watch any of their shows anymore?

[HansJob]

John Clayton out as well. .

The Professor didn't have tenure?

[SkiBall]

Clayton was one of the few I actually listen to what they have to say. PTI is good (but on when I am at work-occasionally catch pod if subject catches my interest) and I still listen to Mike & Mike pod(the hour + overview one), but other than that, pfff. Unless there is a game I want to watch, ESPN is pretty dead to me.

[Jumper Bones]

I watch PTI (even if it only focuses on sports in Chicago and the east coast), Highly Questionable and sometimes Around the Horn. No time for anything else, and the network has way way way too much focus on basketball.

The Professor, yeah that was the one guy I listened to as well, but I'm a Seattle fan and I got better reporting from him on 710 ESPN Seattle radio than any segments on TV (he was always a guest reporter with 30 second reports). The good news is, he'll keep doing that part. And what a class act he's been today through all of this. Basically just thanking ESPN for the opportunities and the 20 years.

I heard they asked Ed Werder to do draft coverage the day after they fired him. Yeah, no.

Just can't believe those guys are gone, but those clowns at First Take are still employed...and multiplied, with Skip going over to FS1. Just hard to believe the format of 'scream dumb shit at each other' gets viewers and ratings, I do everything I can to tune those programs out.

It's basically the same formula of reality tv. Just yell crazy shit at each other. Pretty pathetic it gets so many ratings. Boy, are we a dumb, mindless nation.

[alias_rice]

People should check out the Dan LeBatard pod. It takes a few shows to get used to as it's far from typical sports radio but it's actually pretty good.

[Jumper Bones]

I think pretty highly of DLB, he's a sharp dude.

[SkiBall]

Lately MLB Network has been my white noise tv watching. The live look-ins are good. Putting Pujols AB's on in the watch for #600.

I watch Live sports and occasionally Sports Center. That's it. I have never watched one of their "specialty" or "talk" shows.

This is front-page worthy news to ESPN now? Jesus H Christ. This type of shit shouldn't even be on the local Ohio news. No wonder ESPN sucks so bad.

Its June. We're weeks (days?) away from daytime debates about the merits of the DH rule.

[alias_rice]

I was in a restaurant a few weeks ago and they were debating which Denver QB should be the starter going into camp. Is that even interesting to Denver fans in April?

[smmokan]

Anyone else notice ESPN has been broadcasting some of MLB Network's stuff? Wtf?

[BmillsSkier]

I mentioned it up thread somewhere. Chris Rose of MLB network was on a sports talk radio show I listen to right about the time when ESPN laid off all those people and he said that they're so upside down on content that Isnt related to NBA or NFL that they're going to start paying for other networks content. For example you now see quick patch afternoons on ESPN2.

[smmokan]

MLB Network should have told them to fuck off. I'm guessing they didn't due to the terms of ESPN's baseball contract.

[SkiBall]

This womens softball series game is kind of interesting. 16th inning, been watching since the 12th. I hope somebody wins.

[BmillsSkier]

Is there not a bass tournament happening somewhere they could broadcast?

Spin her 180 and bend her over and administer a good old fashioned grudge-fuck.
