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.

Eisen is already rejoining ESPN.

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

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

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.

Just another way to get our money!!!  I have both channels now but after merge it will be 30bucks a month  I think not.

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.

I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I watch ESPN in my own home.
