I watch alot of live sports on ESPN, but I can't think of the last "show" I watched on there. Mostly due to being at work during that time, but it seems to be played out.

I enjoy some of their xm shows

These articles always pop up focused on ESPN, and the hate spews (i.e., this thread).

This is going on across the entire cable industry and has little to do with the content of that one channel. ESPN is probably one of the safest commodities in television.

Pretty much.

And yet Linda Cohn still pulls a paycheck.

Hopefully they don't dump the WSOP, 2017 is the last year they are under contract. Poker is a declining in popularity at least on television so it's kind of expected it will have to find another home. But it's super cheap programming! Come on ESPN, renew renew.

I only watch ESPN during the college football season. I listen to an hour of Rusillo every day.

Everything else is not to my liking. They try to drive the narrative way more than they should.

I'm not sure how accurate that is. Yeah cable across the board is suffering, but ESPN is saddled with some beyond terrible tv deals that other networks don't have to deal with.

They can kill the whole damned thing as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed

Bingo

Right on

I'm with you there !

Too many women personalities? Because they showed Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend?

Still not sure what this means.

Since being direct is in my nature: KChiefs1, are you trying to imply that Espn is too liberal for American Sports broadcasting? Or was your comment just a CPlanet lexicon-ish type comment?

Don't watch ESPN since Erin Anderson left

RealSNR 03-06-2017 05:09 PM

I love what Kenny said, too. "Go to sleep, wake up, and you see the same dude."

Mr. Laz 03-06-2017 05:16 PM

I don't watch Espn much because it's become to East/West Coast driven as well as too "empty". Quick one liners and fake debate instead of actual stories that are interesting.

If flyover country isn't important enough for them to cover then it isn't worth me watching.

A few years ago I wouldn't have considered signing up for a cable package without Espn in it. Now outside of an occasional game broadcast, I don't ever even turn to Espn.

Chris Berman timed the market perfectly!

That was pretty funny. Those guys have a lot of fun.
