Yea, Monday Countdown is almost an afterthought really and doesn’t move the needle much.

Maybe they can find a way to make NFL Live the pregame show - combining what they already do in the afternoons with a pregame feel leading into Monday Night Football.

Sunday Countdown is also weak, really.


Only pre game or post game I'm watching is inside the NBA.

Haven't watched any of those sports shows in years. I just want my live sports fukk your opinion

Hopefully, this actually pushes ESPN back to what it used to be back in the day before it got too damn big.

It just used to be sports.

Not even like NBA, NFL, MLB always, but it'd be like logging championships and AWA Wrestling and bowling and college sports.

ESPN started fukking up when they became about all these high-priced personalities with "hot takes"

They never did better than "The Sports Reporters"

PTI is the highest rated show on ESPN....to this day.

That’s crazy that it’s still the highest , then dudes are bitter about everything. There use to be a balance but not to much these days.

If we're being honest, a lot of sports fans are bitter about everything these days. They've managed to still actually be able to speak to and for a large chunk of average fans.

Also PTI doesn’t cost a ton to produce.

Tony doesn’t even go to the DC studio yet he lives a few miles away. Wilbon is in DC like 1/4 of his time now.

And that studio is the one they produce SVP’s Sportscenter every night.

Up to the minute sports news is right in our hand with the phones

ESPN programming is terrible

Nobody watching Key/Jay and max in the morning… Get up wit Greeny is terrible… first take is trash, but Stephen A connections keep that show up and going, cause Molly is useless… then they have like 2 hours of sports center ,then max horrible just in show…

NFL Live is ok, PTI is ok… the 6pm sports center is ok as well as the late night sports center…

But ESPN 2, ESPN U , need re work….

U have to appeal to these new microwave generation… more in depth journalism with todays top college prospects , behind the scenes with stars like Steph, Lamar, etc

Get rid of the repeats of old volleyball games, women college basketball games from back in the day and showing old ass 2016 MMA matches..

People jobs would be safe if the egos up there would take some time and use their fukking brain
