I know it's the cool thing to do to hate ESPN... and that's their fault for having so many idiotic hosts and so many lowest common denominator type shows built to appeal to people with no quest for real insight or discussion... but there are a few things worth watching.
Outside The Lines. Bob Ley is a good reporter and never has any Stuart Scott Moments.
30 For 30... shows that the big heads at the network still give some value to something deeper than than a sink.
Baseball Tonight. If you're a baseball fan it's a pretty well done and informative show and Carl Ravich is a good host.
I realize we can't like a couple things on a network that used to be much better overall because we have an all or nothing mentality about these things but there is some good stuff. Saying everything on ESPN sucks is just something I find silly. I doubt people with that opinion even know what's on anymore because they aren't watching.
