Yes, it shouldnt be a surprise. Greeny is not some crazy celebrity that is going to pull eyes from other networks and the show is just a hectic vanilla combination of Mike and Mike and SC. Its totally useless. I thought all along they were billing this show as a GMA type that would use sports as the anchor but venture into current events and other topical things.
I don't think it's this in itself. It's that in many cases, the political talk has been on a show billed as sports coverage (like sportscenter), which then devolved into politics. If you have a show that ESPN tell us straight up "this will cover politics (as well as some sports)" such is the case with Get Up, I think you instantly get rid of the outrage. I don't see anyone complaining about Get Up's material they cover, they are just trolling the ratings.
I mean the ratings are hilariously bad. It's not really even trolling if it is like this
so no NBA or NFL? instead every other sport. for $5/month, Premier League games and UEFA isn't a bad price.
NBA is really the only sport with any sustainable growth right now. I mean on a market cap basis it is perhaps on track to overtake the NFL. The playoff product is better, the stars are more likeable and stay stars for longer.
What ESPN show has he improved the numbers of this go-around? Some actual numbers will suffice.

I used to enjoy him and Dan Patrick on sports center back in the day. Those were the days
They were awesome, flat out.
Who?GoBirds said:Did anyone catch the F bomb she dropped in I believe #8 of top plays?
ETA end of play 9 she stumbles through it then says “F-Ed that one up”.
If she isn’t drunk she is on drugs.

She was on Sportscenter this morning, let me look here up.....won’t be there much longer. Was hoping someone else caught it....do they not have a delay?
How much can I elaborate? He travels for sports events typically college and he just had a load of staff he typically works with canned. He has no idea what he’ll be doing this fall, Mt. Union games or the Sugar Bowl. I’ll say this is maybe the third time he’s reported this kind of thing but he seems a bit more worried this time.
Gotcha. Seems like they keep turning things over left and right, and keep starting new shows, in essence throwing #### against the wall to see what will stick. I knew they were a lost cause once they cancelled a classic show like Sports Reporters, while awful crap like Highly Questionable remains on the air. PTI is the only ESPN show I ever watch anymore (aside from live events I am forced to watch like MNF), and that is only if I think to DVR it if I want to watch Tony and Michael talk about a big game or something that just took place. I don't even bother with Around the Horn anymore. I can only imagine how awful that show with Bomani Jones and Pablo Torres is.
Yes Bomani the racist, he is the worst of the worst. And the fact the Dan Lebaturd still has a show should tell you all you need to know. I scanned by an espn station the other day & was shocked this dope was still on.
Back when I used to still DVR Around the Horn sometimes, I would turn it on and, since we get the last 30 seconds or so of the prior show, I would sometimes have to endure the end of Highly Questionable (like I hit play and set the remote down without thinking I'd have to fast forward through 30 seconds of BS) and was repeatedly stunned that ESPN shows something that inane. There was a time where LeBatard's dad literally ended the show by standing up, lifting up his shirt and showing off his fat stomach while babbling like an idiot. Well done, ESPN.
Damn that evil corporation for trying to figure out a way to stop hemorrhaging money.
I don't think they realize that most sports fans want to watch ESPN for sports, not political crap. We have CNN, Fox News and MSNBC for that. It's like they are trying to appeal to a demographic that doesn't watch a lot of ESPN anyway, generally speaking, and in the meantime they have alienated a lot of longtime watchers by beating us over the head with their agenda.
No doubt.
ESPN is pathetic and has been for a long time. It's apparent they have instructed every person/show to talk about nothing but the NBA, which is easily the worst sport on earth. Did they really spend that much on the NBA to make it this cringeworthy? I'm surprised they haven't changed the name of the network to espnba.
If by "final nail" we're talking about me watching anything on ESPNBA other than college football, then yes.
