How do I hate thee ESPN?, let us count the ways

[smartyiak]

While ESPN sucks, I do love their commericals. My newest favorite:


The chef has always been great!

[grubbers]

That has to be one of the best "This is Sportscenter" commercials that they have made. Gets me every time.

[cranked]

In a positive move for the network, I couldn't be more excited Rachel Nichols is moving on...I wanted to cunt punch her during every single one of her segments.

Still drives me nuts that their hockey based commercials are often their best but that's 30 seconds more hockey than you'll see on Sports center.

Michael Jordan turns 50. All fucking week long.

[montanaskier]

Again, they talk about and drive into the ground, topics that move the dial. Jordan still gets ratings.

[Bobby Finstock]

Joe Lunardi. Nice rug doucehbag.

So when did ESPN become CNN, Fox News, MSNBC?? Turned to catch up on sports the day of the Boston marathon bombing and thought I had the wrong channel judging by the amount of coverage they were giving it.

[smmokan]

Look at the plus side, Tom... at least you didn't have to watch Mel Kiper, Stephen A Smith, or Skip Bayless.

Didja catch the "ESPN Update" ticker during the baseball game? Where they helpfully informed us that the Red Sox game was over an hour before the bombing and gave us it's position relative to the bombing site.

It was almost worse than the random day I tuned in a couple weeks back and had 13 analysts argue over who was the better center ... from four DIFFERENT sports. It was the retard olympics listening to these asshats decide between Wilt, Wayne, and Willie.

I just heard ESPN blame the Jets for Tebow's media circus that had a part in his marketability problems.

The sane voice in the discussion? Stephen A. Smith ferpetesske.

I'm no Tebow-mania fan but ESPN claiming no role in the circus is hilarious.

[nateski]

chris broussard's comments on that one dude in the nba who likes dudes. smh.

The only thing worse would be them blaming Lebron for the media circus shit show surrounding his decision.

You mean "THE DECISION....BROUGHT TO YOU BY ESPN"?

Too true.

Had the AM dial on scan this morning on the way in and during the 15 second pause on the ESPN station I got to hear Stephen A Smith talk race on the Tiger-Sergio controversy. I made the switch to pop hits of the 80s then and there.

Not that I ever agree or listen to much of anything Stephen A Smith says (and I didn't hear his comments on this) but I did find Sergio's comments to be a little on the racist side...

Oh, no doubt about his comment - truly boneheaded. It was Stephen A screaming about race and golf for 15 straight seconds without pause that was really offensive. At that time in the morning at least.

[smmokan]

I've decided that ESPN is nothing more than an instigating tattle-tale, much like the kid in elementary school that no one likes. They report "news" that doesn't matter, but riles people up, simply to give their "experts" something to argue about. Virtually every single show on their network has become unwatchable, other than the actual college football games.

Whoever thinks having Aaron Boone analyze and call baseball games is a good idea is a fucking moron, too.

Ha I hear ya. The guy tries to make more of an issue out of it than it usually is. Such is "sports journalism" to some degree.

4 letter laying off up to 400 staffers?

Unfortunately Screamin A & Skip Bayless were spared.

It's kinda like MTV. Used to be good when it was music but now it's just entertainment.

They have 7,000 employees? What the fuck do they do? All ESPN is is Sportscenter, some talking asshats, and useless feeds.
