All Things Sports Media Thread!!

The sports media landscape is in hell right now

Been trending this direction since Tonya Harding/OJ days.

Less and less focus on information/analysis/journalists, more on loud mouth gas lighting recycled topics.

ESPNEWS used to be live updated information/game updates/breaking news literally every 30 minutes and now it's 14 year olds climbing soapy stairs or some **** :{

They spend more time on Shuffle board or Darts than they do major sports, just incredibly stupid. It's MTV all over again. Someday ESPN 2 will be airing Martin reruns or Beverly Hills Cop marathons. (Just like MTV)
 
Why on God's green earth would the NFL let ESPN control their station?????

Oh my God. :{
 
I’ll stick to national games only. Maybe the “old” in me but I’m not paying a huge mess to only watch 1% of the content.

Agree, but the owners have all but come out and said the first creation of the channel plus RZ was mostly to build out yet another property to eventually sell. Whomever has the money gets it.

For the consumer, as always, the hope is just that the "ESPN spin" is not put on these things and what that always means on the front end is no SAS or Pat McAfee. I wish us all the best of luck.

Cmon we all know why.

2 billion reasons. Now they get to shove the damn ESPN app down our throats and make those previous NFLN games exclusive to their overpriced app.

He shouldn’t have settled. I didn’t know the accusation against him was the “r” word. Dumb decision. You suppose to fight back on all counts against that.
