Whats wrong with ESPN?

ESPN outdo themselves everyday with completely useless statistics. Their obsession with the social media accounts of athletes is annoying too. Even their highlights are trash.

I can remember watching SC back in the day and they'd spend most of the show doing highlights and showing you actual stats...like stat lines for the top 3-5 players on each teams.

The constant hypocrisy and recycling of topics is pretty whack as well. They killed Crabtree when he got his chain snatched, it was all jokes, but when he swung on Talib a year later for the same **** all of sudden its all about sportsmanship and respect. Saw the exact same thing happen with Terrele Pryor from the ********/Raiders joint pratice, nothing but jokes but let him swing off and all of a sudden we would hear he should be suspended. Their MMA takes are also pretty ******* bad.

How many times do we need First Take to debate if LeBron is better than MJ. The host have their opinions pretty clear on the subject yet they talk about it almost weekly

ESPN went the way of where the rest of 24hr cable news did. Talking heads yelling at and giving each other (and you) their opinions instead of giving you the stats and facts and letting you think for yourself.

People refuse to think for themselves these days. Sheep mentality is rampant

I think ESPN feels like they didn't fully cash in on the Jordan era so they're trying to make up for it with riding Lebron.

That would make sense if they had a dude like that guy from Fox who cant keep Lebron name out of his mouth. The majority of the talking heads at the network dont feel like that though. It always the same people who bring the conversation up too. Stepehen A Smith has legit said no like 7 different times, their is no point in bringing that **** to First Take
 
Laura Rutledge is nice to look at right now and her eyes have a twinkle in it anytime she’s talking to a brotha. Her husband is in trouble...

Homie is a career minor leaguer, he was with the RedSoxs a few years back but I had no idea his wife was looking like that.

She gonna Wally Pipp Michelle Beadle
 
All the sports networks went political and alienated half the country, while simultaneously getting murdered by the internet.

I disagree

How do you expect to not have politics involved? They aren't supposed to talk about Colin? Not supposed to respond to the president?

If anything politicians are using sports as a cover from real issues.

Half the country was alienated already and will be either way. People were upset at Obama for picking the NCAA tournament.
 
You'd be surprised. ESPN was trying to play both sides of the fence on the NFL thing. That along with the drop in quality is why I don't watch anymore.

I expect politics to be involved. The current climate makes it impossible for them not to be. I just said half the country isnt feeling it. I dont speak for them .

Who is this for? They got the mamba to go down there and suck his butt? Who's next? (No, I didn't watch it.)

And let some real reporter finally uncover what Saban really does down there then ESPN will milk it for all it's worth, meanwhile they ran propaganda for this dude for years.

Wasnt it on Sportscenter when the one guy said just him making it last year was as good as a championship? Not bringing that convo in here but come on man
 
The problem is ESPN began to start selling their speakers and not the sports. The speakers no that so they have to go full troll mode to get talking time.
