Awwww, did someone hurt Scott's feewings?

[Conserv]

Just another pu$$y lib throwing a hissy fit

[stars & stripes forever]

Who’s listening? WHO CARES?

Bagdad Bob

[JonPreston]

He’s a Maryland grad who every Sept thinks the Terps will go 12-0. IOW, he is a full blown mental midget.

[ASOC]

Scott. Dude - look at your **subscriber numbers** over the last four years.

All that is missing are the flys on the carcass..

[Billthedrill]

Well, that little rant made up my mind for me. They’re done.

[SkyDancer]

Wonder what he’s going to say when he’s laid off; where will he go to vent his displeasure?

[fortheDeclaration]

And yet it continues to downsize.

[HonkyTonkMan]

It is dying. I am looking to purchase a sports product between $300-500. One of the options is an ESPN branded product. I refuse to consider it based on the name and branding alone.

"If you truly wanna boycott the NFL and you wanna boycott ESPN, the notion that some guy sitting out there, or gal, and they decide, ‘you know what, I’m gonna cut my entire cable package because ESPN gave an award on a made-up show in July because there’s no sports, to a woman who used to be a man, so I’m now not gonna have any cable TV at all and I’m gonna sit around at night and read books by candlelight like olden times because of that,’ that’s not happening.

What?

So, if I cut my cable I will be reading books by candlelight?

Wonder what he’s going to say when he’s laid off; where will he go to vent his displeasure?

He could follow his son (CSU great and former Bronco) into the Canadian Football League.

I like how his defense is essentially:

Pay us or watch nothing!

[Psalm 144]

‘Any man who must say, “I am the king” is no true king.’

How come so many issues need to cause anger, hurt feelings, rage? If lefties are right, no reason to get angry at people who disagree. Just enjoy life and being right.

They are certain that renewable energy is the way of the future and cost-effective, etc. Why be upset if governments won’t subsidize it? Smart companies will use it if it’s what they claim.

The NFL is doing great. Why get upset at Papa John’s for disagreeing? Just go enjoy your game Sunday and all the money you claim the NFL and partners are not losing.

ESPN is doing great. Just do your job and enjoy your paycheck. No reason to be upset at people who don’t think your paycheck will be there in a few months or years.

And SO many other issues, where if I knew I was right I wouldn’t get angry. In fact, the 3 examples above are areas where we disagree. But I have no anger like “the other side” does. I just laugh at their arguments, not lash out and attack.

De Nile is a river in Egypt.

[mewzilla]

ESPN’s just pinin’ for the fjords!

[Pelham]

I used to listen to ESPN radio on occasion. But as I’m sure most have noticed its broadcasts became less and less about sports and more and more about the social justice warrior agenda of the Left.

And unless that’s what you find entertaining you go elsewhere.

Apparently he’s never heard of streaming and DVD’s.
