ESPN's 32% ratings crash - layoffs happening
I watch it quite a bit because I love college basketball and watch the MLB during the summer. Also I think the 30-For-30 movies are all quite good. So I'm watching more than I ever have, but apparently nobody else is:

There are 32 NFL teams, if each team had a half hour show once a week it wouldn't even take up a whole day of programming. Hell, if they just had a half hour show for each division, I might be interested in watching. |

Of course their ratings are down...MLB, NFL and NBA all have their own networks. I watch MLB Network constantly during baseball season. Around the Horn and PTI are good...but what's the point of watching SportsCenter when MLB Network is all baseball, all the time and that's the only major sport in play right now? I don't get my football update from Herm freaking Edwards on NFL Countdown every day...I have the internet for that.

The total focus on NY or LA is only part of it. They have gone the MTV route – appealing to the lowest common denominator and being more “entertainment” than “news”. They pick their little pets (Lakers, Lebron, Tebow, Yankees) and center the entire station around them.
Not to mention propping up trolls like Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.

I don't know anything about those teams. Maybe if they got some coverage I would.

I bet they still devote a whole staff to Tebow though.

Its about mlb network right now. They got some solid shows if u like baseball. Intentional talk and the Harold Reynolds and brian Kenny show they got are good. ESPN sucks outside of live sports and pti.
Its TMZ shit now. They need to go back to mostly about sports and not the forced drama. |
