I use to watch it everyday. In fact while I was in college my roommate, who was not into sports, would get pissed that I would have our TV on ESPN so much. Same when I started work with the TV in the break room. Now I only watch ballgames on ESPN. When I’m scrolling for something to watch I don’t even check out the ESPN networks as an option.

I cut the cord a year ago.

Havent watched ESPN since then.

Get your grandparents’ cable password and you can watch every game they show for free on the Watch ESPN app.

No need to watch non-games on ESPN ever.

I rarely watch except for games... However this is what pisses me off about ESPN the most... They have A 7 o"clock game tonight between the Yanks and the worst team in the league.... Baltimore will be lucky to win 45 games this year... Yet ESPN goes out of its way to showcase the fricking Yankees... Its really sad....

ESPN has always had east coast bias. Especially the I-95 corridor

In the past, it was on constantly in my house. Now I only watch College Gameday and live college sporting events. Haven’t had any interest in SC since they turned into ESPCNN.

I enjoy the games, the special segments, E:60, Friday Funnies, and Not Top 10.

SportsCenter at night has good highlights of NCAAFB.

Don’t watch ESPN News or any of their daytime programming.

I’m not on FB or any social media so this is my entertainment.

I think everyone here is admitting to that.

It’s the bullshite commentary shows in the mornings and and weekdays between games.

I doubt it

I watch College Gameday and games. That's mostly it. If a coach is about to get shitcanned or something I'll turn it on and watch that coverage.

Some of it is politics, but so much of ESPN's programming focuses on NBA, IMO, and I'm just not very interested in it.

I watch only live LSU sports on their channels. I see no other need to listen to their drivel. Then again, I don’t watch much tv anymore anyways. I quit watching their regular programming probably 10 years ago.

However, I have read more of the bad PR they get for having political activists as their hosts. That’s a major reason I quit watching years ago. If they just showed highlights and stats it would be great.

Only for live sports. I’ve noticed they’ve started using some of their studio talent for play-by-play in some games and they suck at it.

Other than live games, no, and I used to be an addict. I used to leave SportsCenter on my TV when I went to bed, so it would be on when I woke up. I used to watch it, instead of the CBS, or Fox NFL pregame shows, because it was more X's and O's and less fluff. NFL Primetime with Robin Roberts saying, "Go on, wit cha bad self" when Deion Sanders would strut into the endzone after a pick six, was must see TV. Don't even watch College Gameday any more. Used to not miss a minute of it.
