He lost 8 years ago.

Colin Kaepernick 24/7 all season long. Believe it. TMZspn just found their hook for 2016.

Prophetic, past me.

The bottom line ticker this week while trying to check scores was listing players who were sitting, kneeling, or raising fists in protest. Like it was a gotdamned stat line.

Awesome that you pros can protest. Good on you, stand up for what you believe. ESPN is just churning the froth on the back of your efforts for clicks and viewers.

I half-heartedly believe that someone at ESPN paid Kapernick for this whole charade... What's the washed up QB have to lose?

**berko** · 09-13-2016, 07:22 PM

Cari Champion seems nice.

**BmillsSkier** · 09-15-2016, 09:12 PM

Give me a fucking break. The USWNT scores a fucking 9-0 victory tonight and ESPN devotes the bulk of their coverage and interview time to Rapinoe kneeling for the anthem.

I can't wait to see Henry Winkler kneel on his water skis over the shark tank to the anthem this year.

Good. That shit is awful and unlistenable. Their whole big-guy/little-guy schtick was hackneyed and terrible.

The best thing I saw in a long time on ESPN happened this week during the National Championship game: Sam Ponder. Man, she's cute.

Agreed.

Another great thing to happen to ESPN; Chris Berman stepping down. Ugh... about damn time.

Headline on the hot take network today as seen at the airport bar:

Is Isaiah Thomas (of the celtics) better than Isiah Thomas (Zeke, the NBA champion).

/facepalm.

**Danno** · 02-09-2017, 11:41 PM

Right now, he is playing at that level. But that is still a facepalm.

**smmokan** · 02-09-2017, 11:57 PM

The home page of ESPN is a joke... every "article" is about who said what, who dissed who, and why someone's feelings got hurt. It's laughable they call themselves a sports website.

So its like US Weekly with sports celebrities instead of TV/Movie celebrities?

**The AD** · 02-10-2017, 09:48 AM

Latest news is that Bob Costas is stepping down from anchoring NBC's Olympic coverage and Mike Tirico will be taking over.

**Bobcat Sig** · 02-10-2017, 01:42 PM

My ESPN gripe; Bill fucking Walton. Yes, we get it, you love UCLA. And Magic Johnson. And you hated your time living in Oregon. What an unmitigated LA blow bang. /vomit

**BmillsSkier** · 02-10-2017, 02:23 PM

When I was traveling with a partner yesterday and we subjected ourselves to 45 minutes of espn at the airport choke and puke he looks up at whatever new show they've got (some girl and a guy who was on pardon the interruption I think) and says out loud, "what the fuck are they saying? Are they trying to be world star hip hop? I don't understand a damned thing they're saying" I laughed out loud, he happens to be black, and under 40.

**The Reverend Floater** · 02-10-2017, 04:07 PM

Tried to watch the Oregon/UCLA game last night. Bill Walton is literally unbearable.

**Danno** · 02-10-2017, 11:35 PM

Loved Walton as a player, love him as a deadhead, want to behead him as an announcer.

**wyeaster** · 02-11-2017, 12:14 AM

i enjoy his absurdity and the fact that he annoys so many people.

**HansJob** · 02-11-2017, 12:28 AM

If not for those bad feet, he'd a been terrific.

**wyeaster** · 02-11-2017, 12:42 AM

transcendent player limited by injuries, long-time television announcer who overcame paralyzing stuttering, tons of physical pain, deadhead, brought the title home to oregon. i honestly can't remember doing anything but smiling and laughing when he's on.

**smmokan** · 02-11-2017, 08:38 AM

The ESPN suck factor is multiplied by a factor of 10 when all they do is cover the NBA.

Don't worry though, Mel Kiper's mock draft update should be coming out any day now.

**BmillsSkier** · 03-13-2017, 05:50 PM

Perfect article for espn. Highlight an insane proposal by fame hungry assholes who I'm already tired of hearing about. It's a self-affirming circle jerk too: tmzspn recently played on a loop the youngest of the three brother's high school game where he put up 50 some points! !!! OMFG!!! What they failed to point out was that the youngest asshole just sat under the opponent's net and waited for his team mates to huck him the ball when the scrawny white kids they were playing turned it over. Congrats kid, you and your coach are assholes.

A billion dollars? LeeeeBron gets a billion dollars. You have one kid who can play good college ball, nothing more. Good luck with that, assclowns. And thank you Stephen A and company for giving these fucks a platform.
