Word is that this is the best thing that ESPN has ever produced. We'll see.

 

[Flex Grossman]

Dan Lebatard saw the first part a couple months ago and has been saying it's the best thing ESPN has ever done and one of the best things ever on television.

Are they really putting it all up to stream before 2-5 air? Seems like that would kill ratings.

 

[broller]

Did that woman at 1:34 call him an "ugly ass murderer" or an "ugly black murderer"?

can't wait for this

 

[prophecypro]

This is suppose to be a classic. Will watch

 

[malbaker86]

Gonna be front and center for this

 

[dtownreppin214]

Who is that spooky raspy voice on the commercial?

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I'm gonna be checking it out, and it looks dope. But the main source of all this hype has been from ESPN employees. Come on man

You gotta take those opinions with a grain of salt.

 

[BlackAchilles]

I'm gonna be checking it out, and it looks dope. But the main source of all this hype has been from ESPN employees. Come on man

You gotta take those opinions with a grain of salt.

I've seen plenty of other media outlets all reviewing it saying the exact same thing. I was skeptical of the ESPN bias at first too.

 

[DaDoc04]

Will be locked in!

 

[DrexlersFade]

People finally gonna see why the Juice is the G.O.A.T.

No one touching the fukkery overlord

You gotta take those opinions with a grain of salt.

Nope, plenty of other folks have said its the best thing ESPN has ever done as Spencer Hall of SB Nation just put his review out yesterday), and Bomani and Lebatard are the two main ESPN folks giving it that title, when have they ever been known as company men?

 

[FlyBoy718]

Should be dope
