I love making fun of you. Please never stop.

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

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

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)

To the OP: okay.

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!

what about their twitter account steve dave? can I hate on that? I generally enjoy ESPN and if I don't like what they're covering I just change the channel. But... holy balls their twitter sucks.

ESPN @espn

If J.J. Watt and Clay Matthews were to arm wrestle, who do you think would win?#HOUvsGB

just hard hitting stuff there guys.

side note-i do enjoy watching games on espn but everything else is rough ridin' clown shoes

pissclams · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2014, 08:51:41 AM »

i can't imagine hating a television station. is that what this world has come to?

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.

Pete · « **Reply #15 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.

EMAWmeister · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2014, 08:53:12 AM »

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

TheHamburglar · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2014, 09:00:19 AM »

My favorite is the "ESPN/ABC is a monopoly and needs to be broken up" take.

kslim · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2014, 09:04:00 AM »

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

CNS · « **Reply #19 on:** January 07, 2014, 09:07:34 AM »

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.
