I know a lot of people hate on ESPN but you have to love the network during college hoops season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 The problem with bringing in lesser, known people is that it takes time for the audience to warm up to them. To do this in bulk, IMHO is more harmful, than helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hopefully this comes across the wrong way. I tune into games (hoops or football) for the games. Not the announcers (2 small exceptions Fischer and Gus Johnson). Somewhere in the early 90's or so I felt many at ESPN actually thought they were the show. Not the games itself. Same could be said for reporters in all walks of journalism. I truly tune out most of what they say anymore. Clay Travis might have a different style but he's been saying this many, many years. As many continue to cut the chord I expect ESPN to continue reduce payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak to it nationally but I know Dakich has even said himself on air this year that he might be gone eventually. Constant bashing of Colts (right or wrong is a different conversation) has made the folks on 56th st a bit ticked. I'm sure he could do something else so he's not worried about losing local radio gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 She gave her personal opinion on a matter, thinking it was private and someone wanting a gotcha moment created controversy with it. Sounds like someone who hated ESPN to me, but of course, that could be millions of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is getting old that is for sure. Rachel Nichols gave her opinion on something in a private coversation, which she might have been right about, so there was nothing to apologize for. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
