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

[farmguy]

^^^^They have invented new ways to ruin the Monday night game.

Cowherd is a blowhard that has NO idea what he's talking about. None. At all. I stopped listening to him when I heard him talk about how there's no such thing as momentum in sports, then he continued to ramble on for 10 minutes telling listeners why he's right. The only thing that guy's decent at is interviewing people- otherwise he's right there with Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.

his entire show is a bunch of analogies....literally, gets old real fast.

[iceman]

I was in a sub shop a couple days ago, they had espn on and it was a split-screen with Steven A. and Skip Bayless. Thank fucking god the sound was off.

Big Show with the Big O, Brock.

[Woodsy]

TNT blows doors on ESPN /ABC NBA coverage.....

Between Mike and Mike and Cowherd I pretty much bailed on sports talk radio and went back to music after like 10 years of sports talk all the time in the car. I'll still put on SVP if I think of it but I rarely do lately. The exception is when I'm in Mass., The Big Show on WEEI is appointment radio.

Truth, the WEEI app for my phone has been a godsend.

You guys must be in the geezer demographic. Sportshub all day long. Give it a week, they have a radio.com app. If you cant take Gresh & Zo midday...ok...but Felger and Mazz kill The Big FatsO

What's the deal with NBC Sports Network or whatever it's called? Is it just Versus rebranded?

Will it be a viable alternative to ESPN? NBC seems to have the rights to enough good sports to make it competetive.

Or will it just turn into another TMZ Sports network just like ESPN?

By the way, I'm getting twitchy, where's the updated Mel Kiper draft pick ranking? I haven't seen it in 3 days on ESPN.

[BmillsSkier]

Ok, so I will give ESPN one thing. Their Sportscenter ads have always been good. People in TGR land will especially appreciate this one. I thought it was great.

Will somebody please teach Hoge how to tie a fucking tie?

[Skipig25]

nearly all of them tie knots the size of my fist. I don't get it. It probably only goes to his nipples because he used the whole fucking tie in that knot

[BmillsSkier]

How many times does he have to wrap that thing to get it so ridiculous looking?

[sidewall]

I always laugh at the outfits some of the guys wear. And I'd like to see Hannah Storm naked.

Some years ago, Hannah Storm was involved in a dispute when trying to get into the Patriots locker room...one of the players got pissed off a woman was in and displayed his junk. The owner of the Patriots told the following joke: Q: What do Hannah Storm and a Scud have in common? A. They've both seen a Patriot missile up close.

Hilarity did not ensue. NFL fined players and Pats.

I'd rather see Suzy Kolber naked.


EDIT....Correction, not Storm, but Lisa Olson. Still a pretty funny joke and I'd still like to see Kolber naked.

[Brock Landers]

You'd rather see Jeter naked, but thats neither here nor there

The Chowds are starting early this year. BTW, how'd that "best team ever" thing work out last season?

I do believe he says, "Hey, look at the stupid iceman."

[BmillsSkier]

At the end there? Yeah, I caught that too. Maybe we should be wearing tinfoil hats around here as they seem to be spying on us!

Irul and Brock: very appropriate of you to start the Yanks-Sox poo flinging in an appropriate thread. It's just like turning on sportscenter!

oh, sorry: J

[HansJob]

Like athletes aren't arrogant enough already. Now ESPN pumps up high school kids with the College selection BS. Lets inflate their sense of self-worth beyond the stratospherical.

[concretejungle]

Sal Masawhaterthefuck. Shaun White. Megamo.

[Like a Boss]

WTF is this show with Dan Le Batard and his dad? I actually think his dad is funny. Kick Dan off the show and just have the dad run shit.

[smmokan]

ESPN First Take a few minutes ago... Jalen Rose, Stephen A Smith, and Skip Bayless. What the fuck? Are they TRYING to lose viewers or something? That might be the worst combination of people on TV in the history of television.

I'm still trying to figure out why Matthew Barnaby was fired for his DUI, while Jalen Rose has a more prominent role after his DUI. Anyone?

[Brock Landers]

Melrose got fired? I thought he was on the ESPN college hockey broadcast the other night?

[smmokan]

Sorry, just changed it... it was Matthew Barnaby, not Melrose. I knew it was one of those hockey guys.

[iceman]

You don't like Jalen? He's always seemed okay to me. Bayless and SAS can go rot in hell of course.

Completely agree. Felger and Mazz crush WEEI. I honestly don't know how Gresh is still on the radio either, he's awful.

Vitto from Quincy!!! Have you heard that guy call up? He must be 2 boxes of wine deep everytime. Hilarious.
