I've historically watched on ESPN, but watched it on NFL Network last year because watching Kiper is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Plus ESPN always seems to cut away right when the Panthers are up. Guess it's debatable which network provides better analysis. Who ya got, and why?

NFLN. ESPN is absolute trash in all facets and has been for like a decade now. Any sports news I want to catch up on on the tv come from the sports specific channels— NFLN for football, NHLN for hockey, NBATV for basketball, etc. I never put ESPN on except when they get to air a live sporting event I’m interested in.

I was an ESPN guy until NFL Network started covering it.  After that I left for NFL Network and only tune in briefly if NFLN goes to commercial or something.  The quality of the analysis between the networks was pretty stark for those first 8-10 years or so.  It was like NFLN was for the more knowledgeable fans and ESPN was catering to casual fans and lacked substance.  In the last few years ESPN has seemed to start putting a little more substance into the broadcast (not coincidentally when Berman left).

I can't watch ESPN---Kiper is an idiot, Bermen needs to grow up---

I started watching NFL Network---I liked Mayock over Kiper and they brought in David Shaw a lot for the first round--what a class act that guy is.

For future reference, NFL Network is much better.

I go back and forth. I usually find that the channel with the fewest people on set is the best. When they have a lot of people, it tend to become a fight for airtime. A set of 3-4 people is best.

i get a kick out of Kiper, don’t mind him too much.

Can’t stand Dion Sanders doing interviews, brutal stuff

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
