WHAT YEAR DID ESPN FALL OFF?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

HELL or sports journalism in general.

I feel like when. BRON did "The decision" and Bron was made the villain that ESPN went downhill..

But then again I was in the military and not able to watch ESPN all the time..

It wasn’t one particular year, it’s been a gradual decline. I remember waking up and going to sleep watching Sportcenter, sometimes multiple times. Now I’m pretty sure I didn’t watch one full 30mins show all last year.

The show’ has declined but honestly it was inevitable. I get all the scores, highlights, trades, etc on my phone in real time. By time it comes on, I already know everything that they are reporting on

When social media took over and people stopped giving a fukk about sports center

Round 2010.

You can single handedly blame the down fall of espn quality on that old wrinkled trolling fakkit skip Bayless. He made it unwatchable

When they started reporting every TO move when he was with the Cowboys. Showing him during the game when the defense was on the field, looking for a reason to create a narrative.

Possibly before then but that's when I stopped tuning in

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

It started when Dan Patrick left and it was official when Stuart Scott died.

never, you just grew out of it

Anyone else think ESPN's website is wack for a major company?

Billion dollar company but the shyt looks like an independent blogger made it.

Tim Tebow mania in the NFL

This.

That’s why there’s so many different answers in here. As a kid I’m sure most people here watched ESPN all day, every day. But once we got older we realized there were more important things in life, and watching ESPN all day was mostly a waste of time.

Yup. Was gonna say around 2010 cuz of The Decision and Twitter. But the bullshyt really started when they started covering every single move TO made...
