I love making fun of you. Please never stop.  :love:

Getting absolutely enraged by perceived but non-existent slights by commentators  :love:

Your team/conference not getting enough respect because of some conspiracy/ESPN agenda  :love:

Most of those things happen to some extent. I still love ESPN.

EDIT: You really worded them very nicely to make it stick (I'm not being a smart ass). Probably not a conspiracy. Probably not enraged, but also not completely non-existent.

I like to think I "hate" ESPN but its still my most watched channel and the go to screen saver for my TV.

I've triend FS1 and its cool and all, just haven't broke the habit of turning the TV on and immediately going to ESPN(Probably because there is always a good game on)

The coverage yesterday was wonderful. I watched the Auburn radio feed, the spider cam feed (which had no commentary and was pretty neat) and finished it up with Brent and Herbie, of course. Was amazing!

Post by: sonofdaxjones on January 07, 2014, 08:52:17 AM
I do laugh at all of the people who get mad at ESPN, particularly when they think that K-State isn't getting enough love.

That said, I do perceive a lot of slobbering over the SEC, much of it deserved, but at times it does seem a little over-the-top.  But they have a vested interest in it. 

The Big 12 really needs Fox to step it up IMO. 
Title: Re: People Who Hate ESPN!
Post by: Pete on January 07, 2014, 08:52:32 AM
If you are an SEC or Texas fan, ESPN is like heaven.  ESPN had made HUGE investments in each.

I wish the Big 12 as a whole was partnered up with ESPN.  Fox is not nearly as cool.
Title: Re: People Who Hate ESPN!

I get annoyed with them sometimes, but it's never because they 'slight' my teams. I could give a eff about what a sportswriter thinks, as most sports writers are just looking for HOOOOOT SPROOOTS TAKKKKES

I don't hate them but will hate on them from time to time.  Especially when they have someone like Bobby knight commentating who can't be bothered to learn anything about a team before they work the game.

i will not deny the above claim. i think you are misconstruing what i am saying as it relates to your original post.

do i think espn has an agenda? well yes and no, cant argue with dollars but most commentators dont actually believe what they are saying hence "talking heads"

am i enraged about their non-existent slights/my team conference not getting enough respect by the commentators? not one bit, i actually think its pretty funny

is tebow throwing a football into a trash can sports news? no one rough ridin' iota

question- what's the difference between cbs and espn?
answer- none. both occasionally have games that i watch and other shows that i don't. also commercials.


also, only two more pages to get your pro or anti espn arguments in before i lay down the gavel or pound it or do whatever the judge does at the end of a trial.

I don't watch espn other than games.  the coaches feed or whatever last night was interesting but it was effing stupid to not have their commentary going with a full screen of football.

It was hard to see what was going on.

ESPN and brent and herbs was elite as usual.

OMG I HATE HOW ESPN DOESN'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT MY MEDIOCRE FAVORITE TEAM!

I have no problem with them slobbing all over knobs of the Heat, Red Sox, Bulls, Patriots etc.  Those teams have earned their coverage.  And I don't care that they don't talk about the Chiefs/Royals/K-State.

The New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys are mediocre organizations who are newsworthy only in how poorly run they are.  I would rather hear about the elite Seahawks with their sexy uniforms and players and sexy sexiness than organizations that are basically the Cleveland Browns but with obnoxious front office people.

I wish every game was on ESPN, but that's just because I think the picture on Fox looks like crap.  I don't know if its their camera settings, difference cameras, or what, but Fox doesn't have the same pop on the screen that ESPN has.  Even the graphics when they have special stories and stuff look dull.

If you dislike ESPN, do not read the following book...

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.walmartimages.com%2Fi%2Fp%2F97%2F80%2F31%2F60%2F43%2F9780316043007_300X300.jpg&hash=a72cfc6b8151af99698a68084492018ff79770fd)

It is one huge unbiased view of how awful they can truly be.  From how they basically threw out the guy that birthed the entire thing, to Tirico being a walking sexual harassment case to how they hate the development of personalities on tv (think Patrick, Olbermann, Scott, etc...), it's a very intriguing look into the company.

ESPN will do whatever they can to "stir it up" and make money.  Their purchase into the Disney/ABC family of companies has only made it worse.

The good thing is that NBCSN is pretty damn great, especially if you like the EPL and NHL.  CBSSports Radio is quickly catching up to ESPNRadio too imo.

Title: Re: People Who Hate ESPN!
Post by: kslim on January 07, 2014, 12:23:07 PM
wow give me some Tirico dirt! can't exactly picture him schmoozing babes
The first Tirico story involves him hitting on a woman and stalking her after a house party in fall 1992. The woman was a production assistant and "considered an up-and-coming talent," and Tirico went up to her at the party and said "you're the most beautiful woman in here." She walked away, but he kept following her around the party until she finally snapped, "Why don't you eff off? Get away from me." As she and friends hopped in their car and pulled out of the party, Tirico stepped in front of the car and made the woman stop. "You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen and I think I'm in love with you," Tirico said. She tried to roll up her window and take off, but Tirico stuck his hand in and tried to wedge it between her thighs. She got away, and the next morning, when they saw each other in the ESPN parking lot, he walked up to her, and she expected him to apologize. Instead, he said, "all I did all day was think about you."

In another story, one female producer — who had been to dinner with Tirico and his fiancee — was startled to receive an email from him saying that he wanted to sleep with her. Later, when the staff went to a bar after a late night covering the NCAA tournament, Tirico approached her and said, "I wish I was single. If I were, I'd throw you on the table right here and eff your brains out." After she tried to excuse him as drunk, he persisted: "I know you want to screw me. So let's leave." Later, he followed her on the highway and tried to get her to pull over, unsuccessfully.

Tirico was ultimately suspended for three months and is interviewed in the book, where he, like Reynolds, calls the incidents "misunderstandings." He is now doing "Monday Night Football" and is still married.

It's just a 24-hour sports station trying to think about more stuff to talk about. Just like 24-hour news channels do. If you are a 24-hour anything network like 85% of your content is going to be completely inane horseshit. All I know is anytime I actually sit down and watch one of those half-hour shows were guys sit around a table and argue about sports I start feeling really bad about myself.

FTR I dont hate espn, hate is a strong word. Its just funny to me that everyone loves them so hard when they constantly try too hard.

NBCsports network is 100x better


lol omg.
sorry i like highlights and dp opinions>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>shitty espn opinions

so liking one highlights show plus one personality guy makes it better than ESPN? lol


what's your favorite show on NBCSN in the afternoon?  I personally like Lund Outdoors...but i can understand if Saltwater Experience is your thing. Powernation: Engine Power is also v good.

Holy crap :lol:

ESPN has Dan LeBatard on tv and on the radio, therefore they win everything.

There are parts of ESPN I don't like.  Most of them are closely related to the faux-argument shows they have + the trolling some of their talking heads do for ratings (which I won't deny works, but then again I hate lame HUR HUR HUR trolls which aren't unique or clever).

Like Rick and _Fan, I like to watch most of the games on ESPN.  Sometimes it does make me question my moral values, watching them take one side and snub the other.  It like tuning in to the opponent's broadcast, cause that's all you can get at the location you happen to be at.  To be honest, it's the sucking and licking of everything SEC or the anal reaming of the their new contract conference pals... the ACC that's got me  :curse:.  What was nice about the 90's was they limited the gay sex to the "big schools", and when all knew they were pimping for viewers.  CBS, NBC and Fox will all join in on the party before it's all over with.
Whelp, for two bits this is what you get, so enjoy.  :whistle1:
