Blowing smoke.

Disney is far left of Mao.

It was inevitable that ESPN would be forced to go down that route.

Who ever could've predicted that appealing to men like this that ESPN would lose viewers?

Then you are part of the problem. I bet you listen to Finebaum too.

Great job being the reason we can't have watchable shows.

Wouldn't be shocked if 4chan started that.

It would actually be great for the Republicans because only progressive soyboys would get on board.

This is true and its great.

They need to go full on though. Post lines next to every schedule, share half time lines during halftime of games, etc.

I agree to a certain extent. I think there needs to be a balance when it comes to this because I don't want a full scale gambling show.




They don't need to talk about what picks they want to make or are enticing.

Just share the gambling lines always.

For example on the bottom ticker "LSU #6 (-21) vs. Louisiana Tech 7 PM CDT SEC Network"

I'm glad they admitted it. Identifying the problem is the first step to fixing it.


They've known what the problem was for years, yet they still double down on stupid. F ESPN

If I see one more cancer story, I will punch a kitten.

ETA:

They are still missing the point; any none related sports story pushes their main demographic away.

I'm not amazed at how most are falling for this ESPN bullshite.

Tom Rinaldi(sp??) Bob Ley, and other talk bs shows will never stop. Keep lapping up the bs.

It was better than retard Galloway saying stupid things on tv. Thankfully ESPN wised up and dropped douche troll Kanell. That is a point in thier favor.
