what’s an espn?

ESPN is dead to me.

ABC’s Wide World of Sports was an interesting show. The thrill of victory... Spanning the globe... They had an interesting mix of sports.

Van Pelt's SportsCenter show is one of the few really bright spots at ESPN. And ESPN is stupidly ending Mike & Mike, a major ratings winner on TV and radio for ESPN2.

ESPN will probably continue to survive but not if it keeps carrying NFL

[EdnaMode]

That’s a really good point. Leftists seem insecure with their own opinions and get angry at people who disagree with them.

[missthethunder]

ESPN is in trouble!
ESPN is dying!

[MeganC]

ESPN is dying. Scott Van Pelt’s bitching about it isn’t going to change anything.

[saminfl]

And yet it continues to downsize

Get rid of Beth Mowin.

Someone let Scott turn the lights out when the dump shuts down.

Hey, did anyone ask Scott if he is sending money to help some of the recent victims of layoffs there at ESPN?

"Apparently he’s never heard of streaming ...."

Sports entertainment will survive only if they change their business model. The question is ESPN / Disney smart enough to abandon cable.

I like how his defense is essentially:

Pay us or watch nothing!

Exactly.

I haven't cut the cord yet (working on it), but I'm not watching ESPN or the NFL anymore and Comcast and Nielson know it.

[familyop]

Oh, did you hear about ESPN on the news? ESPN is dying and will be shutting down.

[EdnaMode]

Yeah I agree. Streaming is the future.

[fortheDeclaration]

I didn’t know cable was connected to electricity.

[clintonh8r]

Is he that Skeltor guy?

The Rubicon is not just a river in Italy!
