I wish ESPN would just die already 

Their flailing attempts of long term survival with the SAS and Pat McAfee-cation of their programming has ruined the product.  The NBA Draft coverage this year was a disgrace to even a casual fan.  

It's unwatchable garbage.

Corresponds pretty well with Disney making Pitaro head of ESPN.  Norby Williamson already caused a slow death beginning in the 2000s, but his ouster didn't change much.  That org has so much toxicity and programming with no real analysis anymore.  Taken over by talking heads and ex-attorney/execs who think they know ball.

I wonder if Rich Eisen is happy for a potential homecoming?

Eisen is already rejoining ESPN.

His daily show is headed to ESPN Radio (with a corresponding live stream on ESPN+)

Just Disney buying everything what else is new.

It's not just buying it, its also ruining the IP into the ground and milking it until the cow is bones and keep doing it. God dam I haven't watch anything star wars in 20 years, I think the clone war cartoon was it.

Shocked Darth Vader and the alien haven't married each other as another lead show idea

Don't support the evil empire. Pirate what you can of their poo you want to watch.

fug em.

99% "shows" and "movies" they been putting out since the end game are not worth pirating.

They are putting the too big to fail saying to a test. Losing 100 million after 100 mill hasn't stop them either. The public will watch any and all slop if nostalgia is at the Forefront.

Everything they cover sucks.  They were supposed to drop baseball for the Savannah bananas.  Good riddance I’d say.  Their coverage is awful.

F'em.  People are already starting to watch less the generation coming up has less interest than my generation and the rest of us don't want all the politics that ESPN likes to throw into our sports programming.  I'll just watch the games broadcast on the major networks and watch less football I guess.  The only reason I have ESPN now is for College football.  I don't ever watch it otherwise to much BS on there for me.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
