ESPN as a whole is it in decline?

10 years ago I was on there every day getting all of my sports info and somewhat even still using their crappy message board.

Today: Maybe once a week for a sports schedule...

If they went away today for me it wouldn't matter so much, 10 years ago panic mode would have set in.

Things change.

The fact that they have broadcast rights to so many sports, but primarily college football will keep the, relevant to me, but I agree, I hardly ever am on the website.

I'm thinking about cutting the cord and using a family members login for watchespn

I think that their television shows are definitely on the decline. As far as watching games and events, if you're interested in the teams and games you have no other choice but to watch.

I keep cable because of live sports. I love CFB, so I ain't getting rid of ESPN. But I definitely watch it a lot less than I did growing up. That channel was always on in my house.

ABC's ownership is turning it into another liberal love fest. Stopped watching regular programming last summer & now only watch college football & in the Spring, SEC baseball on the SECN there.

ESPN radio sucks. Fox Sports Radio makes it seem great.

A guy on Fox today said Belichick must win somewhere other than NE to be a great coach.

They can't break news faster than any source I follow online and I can get highlights anywhere. Beyond live content, PTI, and an occasional 30/30, it's meh.

With that said, the watch ESPN app has dramatically improved.

Mix in a reality show with a controversial player IMO.

IMO Fox Sports Radio has a much better daytime lineup than ESPN Radio does now. Clay Travis's national show is surprisingly good, Dan Patrick is solid, and Cowherd can be pompous and arrogant sometimes but he has good guests on his show.

Much better than the crap ESPN Radio trots out there.

Just heard a commercial for the show and it was him interviewing Schilling and he asked if he was in the Women's March this weekend would he be in the HoF. Here I was thinking Clay Travis fans hated politics in their sports.

I listen to Fox Sports Radio because I like rightwing politics interspersed with my sports talk.

Yeah.. watchespn app is damn strong. Can watch any sport you want basically. Easy to use and navigate. No shite commercials, just "we'll be right back" or w/e.

Sportscenter no longer shows highlights, just bullshite drama narratives that espn makes up.

" can curry and Durant play together?"

" what did Westbrook say about Durant leaving?"

Who the frick cares. This isn't people magazine
