GMFB is the modern inheritor of the old ESPN morning show, highlights and fun commentary.  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not since they got rid of the ‘Kiana’s Flex Appeal’ and ‘Body Shaping’ exercise shows. 

 

Holy cow, what a blast from the past of my adolescent days...

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.

Nope. Greenberg is too much of a Jets homer.

 

NODODY should be a Jets homer.

The players’ own moms aren’t even homers anymore.

Yeah, at this point, watching Greeny meltdown about how horribly the Jets are managed is the only part worth watching. :thumbsup:
