re: .

It's also been a dead period in sports these two months, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with the quality "being down" (although I don't dislike ESPN).

Their football coverage is great and I'm okay with their NBA coverage.

It's also a 24 hour sports network...not an hour long show on some random channel dedicated to one sport. They need their shows like First Take, OTL, Around the Horn, etc.... to fill time.

I never understood the hate for ESPN. The ESPN homers don't bother me nearly as much as the pretentious "I hate those guys. I don't even give them a click on their website, they are so shitty" people.

ESPN isn't bad. Quite honestly, every time I read about someone on here talking about how they never watch it, I very rarely believe it since they spend so much time talking and bitching about it.

Not saying the OP is doing that, but it's mentioned on TD so often, yet everyone says they don't watch it. Someone is lying.
