You lost me at Skip B.

It’s wild that I haven’t watched ESPN other than a game in at least a year. Used to be white noise background for so many years.

Skip and Stephen A are equally retarded but Skip is much more likable.

Were we aware that they gave Steven A his own show? I was not.

I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure its just Stephen A from sunup till 11pm then its Scott VanPelt for an hour, toss to some dudes in LA for the late hour, then its back to Stephen A.

All the time.

I feel like you're trolling here.

If not I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

I gotta agree. Sorry Steal, but we can’t be friends. As annoying as SA is, Skip Bayless is not only always wrong, but he’s entirely punchable.

At least SA has a clownish appeal to him; Bayless is just a smug dick.

They replayed the 30 for 30 on the 4 SB run last night. You'll have to excuse me if I'm feeling a bit sentimental today but ESPN did a good job on that, so I can't hate them this morning.

**BmillsSkier** · 01-15-2021, 12:26 PM

30 for 30s are good mostly because I'm convinced they have absolutely nothing to do with the network or more importantly, their "personalities".

This one in particular was remarkably well done, and had to be appended after the 2016 Cavs' title. I hope they have to add to it again in a month.

"[I]There's a special place on the southern shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River where a special group of fans live and no matter what the Tribe, Cavs and Browns do to them, they always still believe. [I]'

I'll have to check out the Bills 4SB 30 for 30. I feel like it would be familiar territory.

I’m a fan of Stephen A. Who’s with me??

You know what the A stands for...that should answer your question

**SkiBall** · 01-15-2021, 09:01 PM

I get pretty much most of my sports via The Ringer these days. My RDA of sports is much lower than in pretty much any other year of my life. Is this what old is or is it just a phase? Ok with either.

They televised a 58-0 rout of a fake high school football team. What the fuck

And then claimed to not know anything about it.

**Woodsy** · 09-05-2021, 06:36 PM

I am in upstate NY atm

I subscribe to mlbtv to watch games.

Tonight's game is balcked out although I couldn't be further from LA or San Fran.

Must've been Sunday night baseball.
Same fuckers that repeatedly turn awesome day games to 7 pm starts.

Fuck espn
Fuck em with an old dirty splintered 2 x 4

That's apparently not just a casual comment that can be accepted without proof...

What makes your baseball game "upstate"?

**dunfree** · 09-05-2021, 09:59 PM

At least you didn’t have a solid baseball game ruined by their bloviating syphlitic sphincter announcers. How they manage to be cloying homers for both teams is a miracle.

Trying to watch Dodgers game in Saratoga

...and what does it have to do with "atm?"

**Woodsy** · 09-06-2021, 03:23 PM

At the moment = atm

When I posted that I was trying to watch the LA vs SF game, I was sitting in Saratoga Springs, NY.
No reason game should have been blacked out.
