yeah, i'm like several others on here. I just do not watch ESPN anymore unless it's a live sporting event, and 90% of the time that is LSU.
ESPN better hope they keep up enough cash in the coffers to hold onto live event content because the rest of their content could suck the chrome off a '57 Chevy. It's beyond me why anyone wastes time watching PTI or the other shows with fabricated shouting matches between talking heads.
I will say there are a few rare exceptions of good content produced with actual expertise. It's rare: Things like the Lolo Jones SEC special or the Todd Maranovich story.

I'll defend PTI. I like it. The key is, those two are usually smart and funny.
The mistake ESPN makes is they want to replicate PTI with every show they do, which is fine, but they fail to identify the premise behind what makes PTI good: It's good because of Kornheiser and Wilbon, not because the format. If you do another show like PTI, but you replace Kornheiser and Wilbon with fricking Skip Bayless and Screaming A. Smith, it's going to suck.
They've yet to realize that. It's the singer, not the song, as young Mick would say.
