Right: The best NFL pregame show, hands down.
Right: They dumped Emmitt Smiff. Wrong: They got rid of NFL primetime.

They're a necessary evil.
Outside of actual sporting event broadcasts, they're essentially Talk Soup for sports. In another word, worthless. |

I'm going to point out Jim Rome's show again as a wrong. That is the worst pile of shit I've ever seen broadcasted in my entire life. My question is why the **** is it still on? Who watches that reerun?

Right- They show sports. Sometimes I even watch them. Erin Andrews
Wrong- They have the most irritating announcers for every sport. Besides football, I love baseball. I simply cannot watch a baseball game that has Jon Miller in the booth. He can make the most exciting game unwatchable. He flip flops between teams and drools on players worse than Madden could ever dream of doing. |

Right: They have a billion networks. ESPN1, ESPN 2, ESPN U, ESPN Classic, ESPN News, ESPN Deportes...I'm sure I'm missing some like ESPN Tom Brady or something. They do a great job of hyping games and marketing sports in general. They have a few really good analysts like Peter Gammons, Doug Gottlieb, Jay Bilas, Kirk Herbstreit, Ron Jaworski, Tim Legler, etc.
Wrong: They employ to many ex-jocks with not enough broadcasting experience. With that said, because ESPN has so much power to nap many NFL legends, the ex-jocks attract ratings because you want to know what they have to say.

The only thing they do right is show games.
What they do wrong is everything else. They cater to only Northeast teams, suck the dick of anyone that's remotely popular, and bottle entertainment and sell it as news. They just need to stick to showing games and forget the stupid hyping they do. They won't, though. |
