Not sure how much of that is due to their on air personalities vs their general concepts for what they think is quality programming, but it’s been hot garbage for a long, long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they care about are hot take personalities who get views. That’s why they kept Perkins despite him being complete trash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m gonna listen to hot takes and jackassery I’ll just listen to Chuck and Ernie and Shaq shoot the **** tbh. At least that’s funny and not trying to be serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want goobers who create viral tweets and clips, not actual on air talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The worst part for me is just knowing how good ESPN could be if they chose to. Those 90’s sportscenter duos were legendary. Fast paced highlights of the games with clever commentary that focused on the game and players, not the TMZ storylines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My television was my alarm clock starting in middle school all through high school. I’d hear the thunk older tvs would make and then immediately the SC opening music. Listen to those dudes for a solid 20 min before rolling out of bed. **** would just play on a loop all morning every morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said some of you will think natty light and Sports Center on loop will be more important than coming to class, don’t be that guy. That always stuck with me. Especially after a few friends thought that way. SC was on first thing in the morning and Around the horn and PTI were great when they started. GameDay was an event every Saturday and the draft coverage when it was Saturday and Sunday was on point. Now it’s just hard to watch. The way they go past sports is not needed. I don’t give a **** about their political ideas. I really don’t need a millionaire who doesn’t live in reality telling me how to think. Just give me some inside info on the UGA v. Tenn game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care about athletes having political opinions, but keep the politics and such in that lane with specific programs or whatever or a separate channel for that. When I tune into espn I just want sports. I’m not gonna “shut up and dribble” these dudes, but their thoughts on politics aren’t interesting to me. Show me highlights, tell me players to keep an eye on, give me a quick rundown of standings/league statistical leaders, injury updates, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
