ESPN used to be the shidizzle back before the turn of the century, now they’re just sh1t.

Exactly!  I've set off a lot in my life.

Some on air talent have received legitimate trophies (due to an Emmy rule change)  but most of the incorrect ones were taken back by the Emmy organization.

Haven't watched since the days of Tommy Jackson and Chris Berman, ( what a great duo BTW). Before ESPN turned into a social justice network.

Mix this with ESPN’s golden boy calling Jason Whitlock a fat bastard, a piece of poo, and a devil, and it really shows how ESPN has turned into TMZ with less talent or facts. The whole network is an absolute joke.

I miss Stuart Scott.

Whitlock got bodied. Career over.

So not reading through this whole thread and hadn't heard this before, but this just doesn't even make sense to me.

How can they brag about having award winning talent when the only "evidence" of them winning the award is the fake physical award they gave to the people?

These awards are listed online somewhere, it wouldn't be hard for anyone, including the on air talent who they gave the trophies to, to look it up and see they didn't actually win.

Or am I missing something obvious?

And now this...

[Shocker]

With all the world’s problems this is somehow important…smh

I think Whitlock thrives on controversy every bit as much as Stephen A. does. No one in his orbit gives a poo about what SAS says any more than anyone in SAS orbit cares about Whitlock. Much ado about nothing IMO but it’s crazy to me how much Whitlock gets under SAS skin. SAS career is light years beyond Whitlock so why he even gives him the time of day let alone say how much he hates him and will never forgive him is wild to me. I’m sure there is obviously a lot more to it but it’s an oddity for sure.

This would suck for no other reason than ESPN has the worst NFL broadcasts in my opinion. Same as watching an NBA game on ESPN. It’s a lifeless broadcast and cheese AF.

Nothing new by any means, but ESPN makes it so easy to dislike them. 

They certainly don't give much reason for non-casual fans to like them or even give a damn about them.
