It's going to save me 75/ month for something I don't use anyway.


95% of our dish is Nickelodeon and my wife's shitty reality TV.

Yeah, but how will your wife feel about losing that shitty reality TV? You might end up watching more TV than you'd planned if you end up sleeping on the couch. :D

As for me, until Sunday Ticket and MLB Extra Innings are wrested away from DTV, I'm stuck with them.

I admittedly watch a crap load of TV. But a lot of it is same 7 channels, all on that list.

That is a pretty good list of channels. Only big thing that's missing is TBS and TNT. Need those to watch the NCAA tourney.

You and me both. Sucks, but it is what it is. No way I'm going without those and I'm not ****ing streaming them on some game console

Or watch them on the little TV with no sound in the corner of a sports bar while the goddamn Bears are playing on all the big ones. :grr:

Oh hell no. Here, there is one fan base that fills the sports bars because they are all way to cheap to buy the package. I'll give you one hint, the team rhythms with

"Disgusting, criminal, insane, losers for decades, Darth Vader wannabe **** heads"

There was also the NFL-National Anthems controversy in which ESPN seemed to sympathize with the anti-American actions of Colin Kaepernick, and when the network turned a blind eye when panelist Kevin Blackistone called the national anthem a “war anthem.”

That has almost nothing to do with the actual shows though.

That is just you being pissed off because you heard about it somewhere.


Do you not watch networks(abc,nbc,cbs etc) if their owner in a liberal as well?


To each his own.

I wasn't expecting an answer so thanks.

Sounds a lot like you guys are being snowflakes.

I know racing isn't a sport but ESPN used to have Thursday night thunder with dirt tracks and boat racing. They also had a great Hockey telecast. It was slipping in the decline then the decade long obsession with Tebow was what killed it for me. Linda Cohn is bad ass though! MARRY ME!

ESPN has the same problem as newspapers or CNN, etc. The internet/smartphones completely broke their ability to report the news. As a kid, I would always watch sports center at night and in the morning to get updates but it's 100% unnecessary now.

They still have good shows like outside the lines breaking stories but they've had to fill all the other hours with silly crap shows. Luckily, they had live sports but yeah the subscriber cuts are hurting that now too

I'd think the future would look even worse as they seem to have more competition now with FS1 and the NBC channel
