ABC should get the rights back so it is on broadcast television. Same and even then that broadcast team stinks so bad. Its like they pulled schmos off the street to take about the game.

The only thing I miss is the NFL prime-time show with Berman and Jackson. They had a nice way of wrapping up Sunday’s with their commentary and the production with the graphics and music was fun. I particularly enjoyed the JACKED UP segment.
BuffBillsForLife Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 It's time for Disney to put the cable version of ESPN out to pasture and just go online-only or ESPN+ streaming service only. Considering the main ESPN channel is failing I can only imagine how much money ESPN2 and ESPNU lose.
Max Fischer Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 With an abundance of up-to-the-minute information and analysis, the ESPN model is dead. I can’t remember the last time I tuned into a talking head show, which includes the network pre-games. Team reporters and some websites do an infinitely better job covering the game. Instead, the networks should have local reporters talk about the teams, not the guys who spend five minutes reviewing production notes while rehearsing lame banter. 1
Madbillsfan Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Under the guise of COVID they are just cutting salaries to give us more opionated ex athletes desperate for cash.
RichRiderBills Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Good move. Not a giant fan of Wingo. Mediocre on screen persona ....guys like Wingo are why ESPN first started to tail off. Replacing mediocre 3nd tier talents with hot take folks only compounded the decline. He was atrocious on the radio w Golic....
Chicken Boo Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Not a fan of Wingo, but I'm positive he'll land on his feet elsewhere.
BillsToast Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 You would have thought they would have polled their customer base who loved the fun personalities, the emphasis on sports, and the humor. Back when Olberman took himself lightly and was funny, where they had great boxing and good announcers, and you just enjoyed yourself.

I don’t even know if these talking heads watch the games or just spew the same rhetoric This^^ it seems every time i turn it on, its a show with two or three guys arguing over some sports topic. Who wants to watch that
JoPoy88 Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 People still go to ESPN for anything football related..yikes.
LabattBlue Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 I’ll be interested to see who takes over as draft host.

NFL Network isnt great either. Outside of Good Morning Football, its just the same rehashed garbage with terribly boring pregame stuff. The only show I truly enjoy anymore is Football Night in America.

Trey Wingo, who hosted “SportsCenter” and the network’s NFL Draft coverage over a two-decade tenure, is exiting the network after his contract was not renewed. The decision not to re-up Wingo’s contract came as part of ESPN’s massive job cuts, the New York Post reported earlier this month (the NY Post also reported back in September that Wingo was being let go). The host’s departure was not confirmed until today, which is also his last day at the network. No offense intended, but Wingo's level of suckitude is tough to beat on a national scale. How he survived there as long as he did must be tied to video evidence. 1
