Damn, actually like Stein, Ford, and Abbott. They got rid of the few remaining good parts while keeping all the awful personalities. Pretty clear where ESPN's priorities lie now.
Has a black dude been fired yet at all?
Looks like they kept all the personalities....guys who focus solely on narratives and storylines.
Westbrook is going to win 3 straight mvps now

If I were an exec at ESPN, I'd probably do the same. ESPN's most valuable shows these days are hot take debate shows and social media connected highlight shows, like Sportsnation. No reason for them to focus on analysis when there's like 50 million different options for sports fans out there, namely the networks and sites that are sport specific.
most of those shows, don't even talk about the game, even when they do....they talk like for 2mins then change the subject to some clown whose not playing that night or not even relevant
Problem is these days those shows hardly talk sports anymore anyway; it's all geared towards agendas being pushed. I'm sick tuning in only to hear about what some sports figure did off the field that doesn't have anything to do with actual sports and why the current talking head(s) are for or against it. I wouldn't care so much if the other alternatives weren't also following in the same boat or were ty knockoff's like FS1 has turned out to be.
Hollinger looks like a genius now.
NBA on TNT is getting that way as well. They'll spend the 1st 20 seconds talking about the game at the half then they'll get off on Lebron or some other person more popular and that will take up the rest of the show. I see some changes coming there as well. I'd like to see Shaq gone, his slot should be rotated with the latest retired great player until they find someone interesting.
Kenny and Chuck have just enough shuckin' and jivin' and they keep it clearly in their own lanes. Others come in and you have no idea what their schtick is. Shaq just stares at the camera, it's unnerving. Ernie is the best.
Amin Elhassen, Rachel Nichols next pretty please. Still piles of garbage on top of piles of garbage there but these 2 stick out.
TNT HQ is located in the CNN (fake news) center. CNN is an asset of Ted Turner. The propaganda starts at the top and is distributed through TNT, CNN, HLN, TBS, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang (

Cable is dead
Is the TrueHoop podcast dead bc of the layoffs? Haven't seen a new episode uploaded in a couple days. They would always upload daily.
They're done.
Kawhi is going to be forever underrated now.
The few people that understood kawhi are gone.
What's left are the westbrooks of the worlds.
I think this is an under-appreciated fact. I still have fond memories of early ESPN when they'd feature obscure-to-me sports such as tractor-pulls, Australian-rules football, collegiate Greco-Roman wrestling, etc. Also loved the CFL games around the holidays. As the Mothership grew, they seem to have sold themselves out to the major sports. Going back to their roots a little could help to differentiate themselves from their compe ion as well as bring back hardcore sports viewers.
We are the Gays

There's a gay choice we're making
We're saving Black lives
It's true we'll make it a Liberal Day
Just you and me
We are the Gays
We are the Blacks

I don't understand the outrage over this , tbh
It's like people who complain about today's music..
Have you forgotten who runs ESPN?Has a black dude been fired yet at all?

I actually read the college football articles so the loss of max olson is a bummer. He was a lot better than david ubben. I'm assuming they're just nuking all of those conference blogs or just hiring interns to do it
ESPN is getting outta the journalism business. Not as profitable as the first take business
espn is signing woj and some of his team:
https://www.recode.net/2017/5/1/1550...wski-woj-yahooLast week, ESPN cut some of its reporters and on-air personnel. But the sports programmer is also hiring: It has finalized a deal to hire Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo’s star NBA reporter.
TrueHoop podcast is back atleast. Probably the only thing I was really going to miss. Now called The Basketball Analogy.
Plus why watch sportscenter in the internet age? I could find out the scores, highlights, and breakdowns I want in five minutes on a website vs slogging through a one hour program w/commercials
I'll put on one of the networks (MLB, NBA, NFL) when I mul ask or on the main living room TV. I can just leave it on and don't have to click around.
Yep but I don't want to crap on Sportscenter too much. I haven't had a TV in years but I remember how huge it was when I was growing up. Without YouTube, Twitter, etc SC was pretty much the first time anybody would be able to see any sort of highlight. The Malice in the Palace, for example, they would mention it if you were watching your team play because the buzz was already going throughout the league but you were waiting in anticipation for Sportscenter to come on and have Stuart Scott shuck and jive you through the highlights. Those were the days tbh
But it's definitely outdated and I think the topics they cover on there now are just politically based or irrelevant gossip. Adapt and evolve,
Boomer's wife killed in a car crash. damn
