JohnRogers Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 http://www.sportingn...v21b1s69begmw12 Is there anyone left who still likes his schtick? God, anything to get rid of that terrible haircut!I often wondered is there no producer or make-up person whispering in his ear "that comb over is terrible".

Ancient Ways Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 ESPN will be unwatchable for the next 2 weeks.They are so in love with (Because they are overpaying) for the NBA contract, it is pretty muchALL NBA all the time on every show.They got the finals they wanted but ad revenue is lower than expected.So for months they have instructed staff to overly promote on all shows....It's amusing how 2 days after the finals they are going tact like baseball is the best thing ever while giving it short shrift now. Plus, they cover the spelling bee like its a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warriors vs. Thunder series was amazing. The finals match-up with the CAVs should be TV gold...an epic rematch with plenty of storylines.They have convinced you it will be TV gold.What if someone sweeps it or it's 5 games?? Is it still gold???This the same network that told us for 2 weeks the Miami/ Cleveland series would be epic??Yet, Miami had not advanced yet...OOPS ...sellingWith every show, promoting it, you just proved my point, when Sports Programming Network is in your title, you can cover Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Racing, etc.....That's what the network USED to do during SportscenterThe NBA contract is a disaster financially, ESPN tries to make up for it by showing the same 6 teams over and over.They overpaid for it, and now employees and viewers are paying the price.Also if the NBA finals does go 7 games, they spread it out over 19 daysThat's the longest 7 game series scheduled in any sport ever....promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Haven't paid much attention to him in years but he is supposed to be excessively tough on the people that work under him.You shouldn't attack a man for his weight.

John V Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 http://www.sportingn...v21b1s69begmw12 Is there anyone left who still likes his schtick? I did many years ago. I don't even watch ESPN any more. Too political at times.This. I don't care for NFL, because it got ruined a long time ago with commercials. The TV is the worst thing to ever happen to sports. TV is the best thing that has happened to sports. I only care about and watch football. Without the Sunday Ticket from Directv, I would never get to see my team play.Stadiums still fill up even when the game are on locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of NBA basketball, and I'm looking to be entertained. Boxes checked. If it's a sweep (or 5) it's still a great story of CLE finally winning a modern day title or GSW in the discussion of all time greatness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Game 7 Sunday night. Hype has been met with a great series. The ratings will be huuuuuuuge. After that, all the NBA haters feel free to tune in to wall to wall draft coverage on ESPN! :nya nya: A draft without Berman, so ya gotta at least appreciate that.
