ESPN is in the business of lecturing us now Yep, that is the direction they decided to take. If i want to watch the news I will so I gradually tuned out/off ESPN and now I have little desire to switch it back on. 4 1
BillsPride12 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Not really. ESPN has gone way downhill. Not even a shell of itself anymore so much as being a completely different brand than it was when I was growing up. The only good thing associated with ESPN are the 30 for 30s. 2 2
Gugny Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I only watch ESPN when games are on. On my morning commute (about an hour), I split my listening between three shows: Local morning show (half music/half talk - I only want talk in the mornings); Free Beer and Hot Wings; and ESPN Radio (Mike/Mike, Golic/Wingo, now Keyshwan, JWill and Max Kellerman). I start with whichever station isn't on a commercial break/playing music. Then I switch the station every time a commercial or song comes on. As far as the ESPN morning shows go, Mike/Mike was the best of what's been offered. I actually like Keyshawn Johnson. I think he's smart and he's funny - and I enjoy his commentary. Jason Williams, I could take or leave. Zubin worked about one day a month. I've never been a Max Kellerman fan and that hasn't changed since he joined the show. He spends too much time plugging his other ESPN shows/appearances and bragging about his past appearances. I was never - and still am not - a big Mike Greenberg fan, but Mike/Mike was so much better than anything that has followed it. 1
Bangarang Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 No and I don’t care what they have to say about us, good or bad. 1 1
Starr Almighty Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 The question should of been does anyone watch ESPN? The answer would be No not in the morning, afternoon or evening. 1 2
msw2112 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I used to love the NFL pre and post game shows. I liked both the network ones and the ESPN show with Berman and Tom Jackson. Now, I don't watch any of them. I don't know if it's because of my life situation changing (trying to manage a job, a house, and kids), the decline of the shows, or a little bit of both. It's also true that a lot of the content is available online. I have seen a few minutes of the ESPN show with Sam Ponder and she is very easy on the eyes, but then you have to listen to the blathering of Rex. 2
Gisele Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 No I do watch some College Gameday but even that is getting harder to watch. ESPN loves all the side story crap and I just want football news and updates. 3
Draconator Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I'll be watching ESPN for hockey coverage, and that's it. 1 1
BuffaloBillyG Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 The only national sports show I watch anymore is GMFB. 70% of the reason is Kay Adams. They could show her just reading a phone book and I'd tune in. 😂😂 4 3 1
Mark Vader Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 The only one I watch is College Gameday. 1
K-9 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Not since they got rid of the ‘Kiana’s Flex Appeal’ and ‘Body Shaping’ exercise shows. 3 1 2 3
Bills fan since 87 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Outside of games i never even turn espn on anymore. Back in the day id watch the same sportcenter back to back. Pre game i usually have wgr on and tv is on mute 1
ProcessYaDigg Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Nope. All i need is Kay and the NFL Network. 1 1
Rc2catch Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 I really used to like PTI, Mike and Mike I thought was quality, I even enjoyed getup for a little bit. First take wasn’t terrible until the agenda became clear and the shtick got old and SAS head hot too big. It’s been a couple years I think since I’ve watched anything on there but live football. 1

Chandler#81 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Nope. Greenberg is too much of a Jets homer. NODODY should be a Jets homer. 2
corta765 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 Not really. Growing up Sportscenter was a must for me, but the show itself has fallen from what it was and so much of ESPN is just talking heads. Truthfully I look at my twitter for sports updates more now and just espn for scores. 2
