@omaha-republican They ruined ESPN, Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and Indiana Jones. That was easy, you should have asked for more. You want support? Look at ESPN ratings. Look at the box office for Star Wars, Marvel films, Pixar movies and Indiana Jones films for the last few years and compare to prior. Note that Disney has been taking over these companies more and more, especially over the last few years. Key people who used to be around have been removed by Disney. Look at the ratings of these franchises streaming shows. They keep going down as they get worse and worse. You can't be lazy, go look it up. Do we really need to do everything for you?

I miss ESPN of the 90s when sports center ran on a loop from 6 am until noon. And then 6/6:30pm With Kieth Olberman, Dan Patrick, a young Rich Eisen, Linda Cohn, Kenny Mayne, Charley Steiner, Robin Roberts, Stuart Scott. Others shows I miss was Up Close with Roy Firestone, Chris Myers, and Gary Millier which would air just prior to the evening sports center Monday thru Friday. On Sundays mornings miss the sports reporters with Dick Schapp, John Saunders, Mitch Album, Mike Lupica, Bob Ryan. Also miss Sunday NFL countdown with Chris Berman, and Tom Jackson as well as NFL primetime that would air prior to Sunday night football on ESPN. Should have kept MNF on ABC. Memories of the 90s 😢

True that Bird was in all 3 positions as West was, but Bird's resume as coach and GM are nothing compared to West's. Kerr is the closest to West in all 3 positions and of course Kerr was not on the level of player as West or Bird.

Yes, her defense is poor ....partly because they have worn her out on the offensive end ..... nobody brings this up ....especially the agenda driven ESPN desk

@michaellacross5266 Ай бұрын

Hmmmm, let me understand something here. There is no way Taurasi could stand up to the pressure you seem to believe that CC is experiencing now correct? And since you don't state why that is the case, you basically assume it a priori. Well then, I have a question for you, why would you want to choose a player that would draw that kind of pressure (CC allegedly) over Taurasi who wouldn't? You're making a case that Taurasi would be more effective than CC because she would be given "space" to create against her opponents.

DP made a terrible point about Rodgers giving money back. He gave up $35m last year, hes done his share. What should have been done is, they excused Rodgers, he had peronal issues to deal with and that would have been the end of it. The Jets as usually screewed up and called it unexcused. So here we are in the middle of June with nothing to talk about and the incompetitent Jets giving the talking heads something to talk about. I'd much rather have been one of, if not the best QB, to ever play, rather than a mid level QB who won an extra SB.

I'm not expert but the WNBA's version of ''physical basketball'' is , we ignore the rules and our refs don't do their jobs. Its actually inexcusable because its sloppy basketball, they don't play like skilled players.

@michaellacross5266 Ай бұрын

The W is becoming more skilled, and that is to say "skilled" as you use the term. The rookies coming out of college are slightly faster, and have a little more shooting range than the pioneers of the league. All of basketball, international, NBA, college, are morphing into starting 5 players that can stretch the defense with their shooting. The W will get there too because they have no choice. If a person can shoot the 3 ball at plus .400, that is equal to a player shooting the ball at .600 at the 2 point range. How many players can say they were a career .600 shooter? Now, how many players are shooting the 3 ball at +.400? That is what changed basketball. Math, and the ability to practice the shots until you're marginally more proficient.

It's not basketball anymore, it's a continuous, unguarded 3-point shooting contest, with BRICK AFTER BRICK, the norm. Coaching is abominable, they've allowed the idiotic players of the past decade, and their "Math," to ruin the formerly-great sport of Basketball! 🏀

Great interview. ESPN could use some fresh ideas outside of the studio analysts. It would give them more bite-sized content to shoot out to their various platforms.

JJ Redick has balls of steel and a really, really thick skin so he’s a great pick for LA. He’s not replacing Sherman, West, Riley, or Jackson. He’s following (does anyone remember?!?) Darvin Ham. Does anyone remember the last seven (post-Jackson) coaches? Vogel brought them a championship in 2020 but nobody remembers him, either. Redick will spend a couple years there and see LeBron out and we’ll be on to another coach. Just like the last seven. If lightning strikes he might do a Vogel and I’d be happy for him. But you can’t deny that Redick post-game interviews will be interesting bordering on entertaining! 😅

Even though Oberman suffers from extreme TDS now, him and Dan were the best Sportscenter duo to ever do it.

The only reason ESPN was the go to before were the personalities. Now they can go to KZfaq and profit on their own. I don’t blame Disney, I blame the changing media landscape.
