so you mean to tell me, these nikkas are still making money but are mad that they aren't making as much money as before?? :heh:


They pay all that money to broadcast The NBA and their coverage still fukking sucks. It's an after thought compared to The NFL.
ESPN/ABC should drop the NBA and let NBC/FOX take over :sas1: bet they wont do that.

Just make WatchESPN a standalone app separate from cable companies and charge people $9.99 per month or something similar

And stop with all these repetitive opinionated shows

1 or 2 of them are fine but when your entire lineup is filled with shows all talking about the same shyt it turns people off

Thats the main reason why I stopped watching and im pretty sure all the other customers they lost will say the same thing

Good. After ESPN got the fukk out the kitchen b/c that NFL Concussion documentary was too hot for them and their 'brand' of journalism, I stopped fukking with them. :manny:

Haven't been to their website since '13, just yahoo sports and realgm... and only time i'll begrudgingly turn to them is if it's a marquee NBA on Friday night matchup and there isn't a better game on league pass.

Hell, only reason i'm cognitive of the Beadles, SAS, Skips, Simmons, etc is b/c of the thread titles in this forum.

That's business. When you own a business the first thing you think of when you go to work that day is how can I increase our profits from the day before and so on. You idiots need to take some business classes

SB rotates between FOX, NBC and CBS. ESPN/ABC does not get to do the SB. It was a pretty big deal ESPN got a WC game.

Ewwww the Superbowl should NEVER ..... EVER be on CBS it's boring as fukk..... :scust: Let CBS keep the college shyt I could care less about March Madness :camby: and the BCS tournament...

1. 24 hour news cycle is BS for sports.
2. ESPN Deportes :russ:
3. Not offering a streaming/ala carte option.
4. Employing shyt talking heads like Skip and "Sources".
5. Losing World Cup rights to FOX and EPL rights to NBC (Soccer about to become a huge draw, look at Bein Sport) :laff:
6. SC Anchors clearly NOT knowing the sport they are asked to present. (Just look at when they do Cricket or EPL highlights :mjlol:)


All of this leads to a devaluing of a product. Their ONLY two redeeming products to me are the NBA coverage and the MLB coverage...IMO ESPN still does baseball better than everyone.
