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.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
