And it is the very last item, a video at the very bottom. What a disgrace.

Preserve these brothers in cryro this is this is greatest duo in sports commentary history

Had First Take on in the background while I was doing stuff around the house. All of a sudden they annonce it as breaking news that Rasmussen had passed at 93.

...and they just completely rushed through the segment. The host stumbled over her words multiple times, and then they gave each panelist maybe 30s of input each, the last panelist then cut the last one off for the Pat McAfee intro music halfway through his thoughts where they didn't end up mentioning it at all.

C'mon, gotta do better than that for the death of your network's founder.

Used to be such a massive fan of Pats and it’s actually so unfortunate to see what he’s become. One of the most authentic people to do a show has turned into one of the least relatable people ever. His show used to be my favorite show to watch but he’s completely become what he used to hate. A sell out, corporate stooge who gets sensitive and defensive over everything. His album is the worst thing I’ve ever heard and speaks to how delusional him and the guys around him are. Herbstreit telling him to perform it on college game day just shows the echo chamber Pats in right now. An all time fall off.

When does it come back from I guess vacation? Missed the announcement…

Does an unlimited plan include espn+ or is that two separate things?

Thanks

Pat Mcafee and his bullshit. This album. Lol. Featuring wwe and banana ball! They have truly lost the fucking plot. What used to be stupid shows on the espn2 or fuck the ocho they are now featuring these fake sports on espn directly with whole lead up shows. Will never watch another college gameday again under this banner. Just wow espn. You fell hard

In his first game in the big leagues, Joshua Baez has hit a home run in his first two at bats only the third time in history that’s been done. Nothing on ESPN webpage. But they just posted a story about Aaron Judge playing catch in rehab. Who says there’s an East Coast bias.

She's been gone for a few weeks now and Michael Eaves told her to get well soon. Does anyone know what's going on?

They always have to stay professional and refrain from using fowl language on-air so when they appear on other shows/podcasts and start acting a little edgier and cursing, it catches me by surprise. There are some hosts (like Stephen A. Smith), where you can tell that they curse off camera just by there cadence and personality, but there are many (mainly the hosts/anchor people) that you can’t tell are users of fowl language.

They are reporters who “don’t know everything” It takes little research to do some proper reporting. They are all puppets change my mind owned by Disney who don’t actually report what happens.

ESPN is more trash than ever & are a bunch of puppets. That is all.

too bad

I'm only 4 episodes in but I'm legitimately shocked how little they know about sports. I don't expect them to be perfect or know everything but they even struggle to answer pretty easy questions in the categories they specialize in.

I'm not anti ESPN personalities or anything like that, I just expected them to be better than an average sports fan.

Her coverage of Caitlin Clark has really shined a light on how annoying she is. But she has to be the most obnoxious and uninformed person I’ve ever watched on TV. Disagrees for no reason and says the most nonsensical things I’ve ever heard. You can even see other ESPN employees on set with her starting to get annoyed

Pete Schrager is right at home on Get Up.

I'll throw this out there.
How is it that ESPN can broadcast the Little League World Series with a very good to excellent picture quality.
But tonights major league game, from Yankee Stadium, looks like a broadcast from 10 years ago? Flat, no detail, shaky picture, just a real messy production.
I don't get it. I know ESPN can do better than this.

Does anybody know why he hates them? He mentioned it on their college gameday podcast the other day, but he didn’t explain why.

I noticed she wasn’t on WNBA coverage last night, it was noticeable mostly because there wasn’t any controversy that came out of the commentary for once and the host specifically mentioned that they’re going to do a better job putting the focus on basketball and not random bullshit. Did she get laid off too or just removed from that coverage? Or was she getting a pedicure again?

I made a post about a week ago about my distaste for Evan Cohen and First Take in general. Honestly, it's hard to watch most anything on ESPN anymore. I happened to turn the channel this afternoon and watched a gentleman named Clay Travis and I can honestly say, I watched from start to finish and truly enjoyed listening to him. His whole show was basically on the WNBA, but his points were right on and he wasn't sensationalizing everything. He's worth a watch...

Edit: I must've caught him on a good day, according to the comments?!!!LOL
