How can it possibly be this bad? Is it intentional? You can never find what you're looking for, search function is a fucking joke, suggestions have absolutely nothing to do with anything I've watched in the past. Pausing any event and trying to restart it has a 80% fail rate. It's absolutely ridiculous.

In light of Stephen A Smith being a complete dick to Lane Johnson’s retirement over his mental health, I have been asking myself “why hasn’t stephen a smith been out at espn???” This Lane Johnson reaction isn’t his first terrible and problematic take, for example, earlier this year for the NBA offseason, he was actually angered by the fact that the Lakers big three were all white because, according to smith, white people aren’t good at basketball, which is one racist and two completely wrong. there have been many other instances that i don’t care to mention because there have been so many.

also, smith is not even a good sports anchor, this dude just comes on and sounds off about something he doesn’t like in the world of sports in a new york accent and doesn’t contribute anything to espn. he’s just there to cause drama, as if there isn’t fucking enough of that in sports. it’s like nfl and nba refs trying to take the spotlight, just do your damn job and stay out of the way. he’s just clipfarming 24/7 and it’s getting OOOOOOLLLDDD.

finally, there have been reports of him being a total di to work with, and if i’m espn im using this to (FINALLY) let him go. and don’t say he’s like the face of espn sports broadcasting (because he’s not).

edit: if they fired him who’d you want to see replace him?

I am so frustrated every time I try to use the ESPN app on my Google TV. Every time I launch the app, I have to re-authenticate my TV provider to watch anything.

Today, watching the Eagles/Jaguars London game, video went super slow motion (no audio), so I went back to the Home Screen to reset and now there are no options (other than the Spanish audio feed) to get back into the game - anywhere in the app. So force quit the app and now have to re-authenticate my tv provider again.

Horrible app!

Edit to add. After re-authenticating my TV Provider, there is still no way to watch the game in the app.

Trying to figure out the cheapest way to watch this new documentary . Is it on espn select? Not trying to spend $30 to binge 6 episodes in one sitting. Let me know how yall are watching it!

Guys so fuckin annoying

College GameDay is at the University of Iowa today, not the Atlanta Hawks campus.

College Football greater than anything to do with the WNBA.

I think it’s amazing. What Pat McAfee has done with ESPN and their charitable donations. Pat has driven ESPN’s ratings through the roof and helped so many people along the way.
It just makes all the people on Reddit, who cry about Pat at want him removed look even more ridiculous!

So after weeks of a failed (?) 4k rollout on Apple IOS TVOS, woke up this morning, to see a ESPN update on my TCL TV, but this time on the Google TV side. I was excited, thinking and hoping that the 4k feature would work in the Android world.
Did the update. Saw the new 4k HDR metada program badging on the ESPN app.
And guess what? No 4k. The picture looked choppy. No 4k HDR pop up screen badging on the TCL. And unlike the Apple TV 4k, you can't force Google TV / Android into 4k. As far as I know anyway.
Also tried ESPN on Disney Plus..4k doesn't work there either.
This is the same issues that have been going on for weeks now on the Apple side of things.
Maybe one of the software engineers from ESPN can check their rolladex for Apple and Google support contacts, and maybe finally figure out why none of this is working correctly? At least for most people. And yes I know there's a few Roku owners who say they already have 4k.

I can’t even watch this game it keeps breaking up and overheating my Roku. Not a problem with other apps. This is the type of stuff that won’t get better in a monopoly. Never thought I’d miss network TV!

How Did Stephen A Smith talking about how players being paid more than John Caliparis assistant coaches become a rant about white players, owners coaches etc lmfao

Even though the Brown handled the Steelers for 3 quarters and ultimately defeated the Steelers on TNF you’d hardly know it from the highlight reel shown on Get Up this morning.

Almost every single highlight/lowlight was showing Aaron Rodgers or the Steelers and almost nothing on the Browns until the game winning field goal.

It’s no wonder ESPN has gone downhill. They talked about the same teams every day and they spent more time talking about (who else) the Cowboys in the following segment. SMH.

Did anybody else see Pats shirt get stuck around his wrist for like a whole minute during the pick ? That shit was hilarious and he of course picked OSU in Pat fashion with an early compliment to Iowa. The new gameday is funny and different was today’s kick a hit or miss that was about the only part I missed today

I’m off today and saw him for the first time. He’s better than most.

Trying to catch up with the game I started watching late, and it won’t let me skip this Commercial Break placeholder screen anymore lmfao. What am I to do with this dumbass fixed screen?

Any ideas? Seems random lately other than Fortenbaugh pimping gambling. Orlovsky is the only decent analyst left who pulls together tape. They're ruining Schrager which I wouldn't have thought possible a year ago.
