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.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
