And my life has been just fine. I might have watched College Gameday for a few minutes here and there, but not enough to remember.

I don't watch the talk shows or Sportscenter. I flip past it. I don't care what they think.

I am happier.

You should try it. The only time I hear about ESPN saying this or that is when it gets reported on this board.

Why do we care what anyone thinks about LSU nationally? Just win.

Haven't watched in years now. Everyday that choice looks better and better.

Nobody fricking cares what TV network you watch or don't watch.

Apparently no one on Tigerdroppings watches ESPN but somehow there are always people complaining about it

The invention of twitter made ESPN irrelevant to me. Never even turn it on unless theres a game or 30 for 30 re-run I like.

I have to say, that's pretty weird and frankly unbelievable.

Is it just because you can't take hearing one second of opinion you disagree with? You've missed some pretty good 30 for 30 shows, fwiw.

Exactly , eliminating the media from your life is the first step toward happiness, the second step is minding your own business and not getting wrapped up in other people's shite. Especially politicians , pop stars and pro atheletes..

I'll go one better.

I quit watching it outside of game coverage after LSU beat UGA in 2003 (regular season) but ESPN claimed we really "lost".

I also started muting my TV during games at this point as well and putting music on surround sound instead.

Much more entertaining.

Back this up to well before your date and I'm with you. Other than the ego bump fans seem to get from having some national talking head say good things about their program, there is virtually nothing to be gained from watching folks who have FAR LESS daily info than you do about your program talk about it. Hell...we already know many of them read boards like this one and use info garnered from here as their "unnamed sources." Why the hell would we then watch what any of them have to say, as if they know something we don't?

What it ought to do, though it clearly does not do that, is pull the curtain back on just how uninformed most of them are. After all, if they are this uninformed about our program why on earth would we think they know anything more about a rival's program? Honestly...nothing is gained by watching any of that.

I quit ESPN when they gave Caitlyn-Bruce Jenner the espy for courage. That broke their plate with me. And yes I'm okay and better off.

I agree with this post 100%. I sparingly watch GameDay and it's usually only on days when I know LSU will be on. Watched the segment last week with Miles and I watched the one from Lambeau. Other than that I don't watch ESPN. I only go to there website because one of fantasy leagues is hosted there. Life's much better.

You are a smart man. ESPN is to busy these days trying to force political beliefs onto everyone instead of just covering sports.

Geez that is sad. Get over it; life is about overcoming hardships, not hiding from them.

ESPN would be fine if they didn't venture into politics. But they're about to have Obama come on the air (again) to tell us how racist we are

I swear y'all act like females with this "I don't watch ESPN except for live games" I'm watching Sportscenter right now and all I see is Cubs talk. But alas,

LIBERAL AGENDA!!!!! MICKEY MOUSE IS THE DEVIL!!!!!!!!
