re: WokeCenter hits all-time 41 year ratings low, loses to Jay Leno's Garage

I honestly can't remember the last time I had the channel on ESPN. This is coming from someone who used to only watch ESPN only 3 months ago.

Dude, you keep ignoring the point like you never read our arguments here with all this strawman bullshite, everything Clay Travis and I argue hold up and now that theyre committing so much of their programming to politics over the Floyd stuff just exacerbate the situation, to argue otherwise renders you completely tone deaf to the Forest.

Before the advent of the internet, a sportsbettor had to buy as many national newspapers, sports magazines, Gold Sheet, Sports Reporter, tout sheets,etc..as he could get in a timely manner..plus own a big dish, megaband shortwave radio, and a Don Best subscription..

Once the internet brought along Broadcast.com, Real Audio.net, Newslink.org, then the sportbetting forums Rx EOG Madjacks Etc.., Statfox, Covers,etc..ESPN was dying to me sans live games..

Then came MLB Net, NFL Net, NBAtv,etc..

But, most importantly, now with VSiN, I have the microcosm niche world of info that I ever wasted time on modern day Disney owned SJW fig ESPN trying to gather info..

RIP 1980s ESPN, CNN Sports, CNNSI..they became dated platforms with issues vs realtime anyway. But, just for good measure they screwed up what lil interest folks had left..in forcing non-sports agendas.

Or they can, you know ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT SPORTS, such a simple concept

“First Take” was the highest rated ESPN studio show all day

frick that show.


I actually don't mind Get Up!, usually. Working from home the last few months I've gotten up and put it on almost every single day in the mornings. But a couple weeks ago even that show went full-on politics mode and their talking heads scolded me almost daily for being white, and I don't even put it on anymore. And what sucks is that there are some actual, legitimate sports goings on lately that they could've been talking about. But instead of Ryan Clark getting hyped and yelling at me every morning, and idiots like Jay Williams telling me in so many words how shitty of a person I am, all the while magically managing to not say anything at all really (it seriously amazes me that this dude has a job).

It's fricking stupid, and I am sick of it. I know it's the cool thing on the MSB to hate on ESPN and claim to not watch it, but I actually still do watch it here and there. But that's one show that I am avoiding until sports gets back going.

And what sucks is that once they fired Jamele fricking Hill and tried to refocus on sports, it was noticeable and felt different, in a good way. And now they are right back into it again.

It's kinda funny how bad my wife loathes Dan Orlovsky though.

Jay Williams is the worst

Pre Internet, they only ran top 25 CFB and CBB highlights. Meaning, you were SOL if your team wasn't top 25 or playing a top 25 opponent.

That's why God & Motorola invented the Sports Pager!

Read the article, the network is TANKING compared to the other sports networks, clearly the political bullshite is hurting and certainly not helping, Wokecenter is ensuring the death of our flagship sports network they clearly need to do better

During quarantine, I would always have ESPN on in the background.

Since the George Floyd situation, they have literally (I mean LITERALLY) only talked about race relations in this country. Not once during this time have I turned their network on, and heard them talking about actual sports.

I haven't watched in over 2 weeks. It's unbearable and quite frankly I'd rather watch a 24 hour, 7 day a week marathon of Tom Rinaldi sob stories.
