They should have the women announcers do jock itch and erectile disfunction commercials the way that SNL parodied those two guys announcing women's sports with feminine hygiene commercials.

I always say that it’s time to fire a Florida Head Coach when you have Women Announcers doing their games.

You don’t want 4 hours a day of Stephen A Smith ripping on the Cowboys or pimping LeBron?

ESPN are shocked that people are less and less inclined to watch open sewer programming.

Why didnt COVID kill Disney? Losses at ESPN, no movies, no cruises, park closures, and fewer people watching ABC.

If there is any evidence that the lizard people are in charge it is the failure of the goWokerful World of Disney to crash and burn.

Saw this and went and cancelled mine while flipping my tv screen the bird.

Still good thru March but it felt good to pile on.

I knew their announcers were dirt bags but was unaware of the Disney connection so thank you.

I recall seeing an episode of ‘Dirty Jobs’ dealing with work at a wastewater treatment plant. But that was a single episode. ESPN does not understand that consumers do not want a steady diet of programs along that line.

The only way of making use of ESPN....is to mute the sound, and curtail any ‘show’ which isn’t active sports.

Right?

My first reaction was “Well, everything woke turns to s***.”

Mixing political commentary with your sports doesn't sell?

Who could have predicted that?

But wasn't that an away game on the SEC channel?

I felt bad for Mullen. I liked him.

I liked how he stood by Emery Jones. I thought Mullen was showing the kids that teaching the kids came first, and winning came second. After all, they were in college to learn, and he was teaching lessons. They were expected to win - by learning - but they were there to excel at their chosen field of study, as all college students are.

I think there is something cultural going on with Florida football teams. I can't put my finger on it, but I call it "heart attack football" for a reason. They always come out strong, get cocky, and then collapse. It doesn't matter who the coach is, the pattern repeats.

I'll admit, the collapse was severe this year, but I don't know that I'd put it all on Mullen. It's something about the kids who get recruited there, I think.

Have you seen any of the Campus Reform videos of the students who are asked political awareness questions? It's like watching an old episode of "Jaywalking" from the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I was embarrassed for them; I was embarrassed for the school, my alma mater.

Too many penalties, too many bad throws. The penalties probably lead to the bad throws, so it's a discipline problem at its root cause.

I remember watching a March Madness a few years ago when the kid reporter from Sports Illustrated Kids asked a head coach during the post-game interview whether he thought it was more important for a recruit to have aptitude or attitude.

First, the coach asked the kid who he was reporting for, then he said it was an excellent question that he'd never been asked before (always coaching the kids, even this one), then he said that it was more important to have the right attitude because they can always teach the skills.

I think the Gators' problem is that the kids are coming in with the wrong attitudes, and then they have a morale collapse mid-season when things don't always go their way. And then they get sloppy, and then they stop caring.

I don't know how much of that to put on the head coach, and how much is a systemic problem with the organization.
