Completely agree. He tries to act so tough nowadays, it's really hilarious. We all know you're not Michael.

think the change in attitude was an order from ESPN higher-ups?

Pretty much. I think I dislike him more than Hill. I mean she sucks but she's always genuinely sucked and hasn't changed character.

Smith wants to jump between a blerd and have street cred and it comes across as incredibly phony.

Today's gonna suck for a lot of people at ESPN. It doesn't seem like too much to ask to remember that those people are in fact people.

Michael Smith used to be good. I haven't watched much but I heard him on PMT and you can tell he was trying way too hard. It's so cringe worthy when people do it and Smith and Hill were trying to be black internet memes the whole time.

What they used to do. They aren't interested in that though.

Bunch of nobodies so far, save for Werder. Not living up to hype

Just goes to show how massive their roster is. They clearly have way too many reporters. Trimming that fat should have been done a long time ago.

ESPN seemed to heavily invest in soccer coverage, in my opinion to try and cater to white liberals whom they were not getting, as well as minorities, specifically Hispanics

But does anyone actually watch soccer. Seems like they cover it far more than hockey.

What is that? Strictly highlights?

Do you know you can get highlights on Twitter and Youtube now?

I few of these people I have to put a face to a name and still don't recognize them. I do believe people that mention not watching daily ESPN programming, it really did start to go to shite. I haven't watched since 2011ish.
