btownqb Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Oh just saw Smith is gone as well. Good. When he first got to ESPN when he was on ATH I really liked him, once he got on his own he sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame those calling the shots at ESPN. Putting those in situations where they will fail is almost their calling card in recent years. Only one at ESPN that is laughing right now is Golic. He said in December why break up a good thing. Greeny's new show sucks. Unbelievable salaries to pay plus they are now in direct competition with his old show....and both are hurting (poor ratings) because of it. Amazing some of the ESPN upper management couldn't see this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought so as well. Now they have Sarah Spain up there discussing women's rights (which is a wonderful cause)...unfortunately they chose wrong again. Here's someone that advertised herself for Super Bowl tickets (google it if not aware) and now we are supposed to take her seriously? So comical. So many more deserving women to fill that role instead of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean they don't care about social issues. It simply means that they like to keep them separate from their sports/entertainment. ESPN's failure to grasp that is a big reason interest has declined in their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev_AK Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Between turning every subjective sports fact that they can into “hot takes” and the above mentioned social commentary, ( and overwhelming east Coast bias) the demise of ESPN has been hard to watch. I only watch it when I have to, and sometimes that means suffering through Dakich calling IU, which they seem to relish to stick it to IU fans. We need an alternative besides FSN, who have followed suit giving Skip Bayless a platform... I propose HSN 3.0 as our go-to sports hub!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish somebody would start a sports network out of Chicago, Indy, Detroit, wherever that is in the Great Lakes area. Just talk about what we as locals want to hear concerning our teams. Pro and college. Damn, I want to hear about the Reds, Cubs, White Sox, etc. Not the Yankees, Mets, or Bosox. I could care less about the Jets, Giants, or Patriots. Fox has tried doing this but it ain't working. And why does everything on ESPN seem to center on the NFL? My God, it is mind numbing. We need a BTN 2.0 that gets the pro franchises involved.

The Jets talk wears me OUT. They are awful and honestly should never be talked about, neither should the Knicks. The NFL talk annoy me much, but he LeFlop talk does.
