Are you inferring that I’m implying that TBD falls into that category? TBD is only like that sometimes. Unless you go to Off The Wall, which is slightly more likely to degrade to inside jokes and insults. My intellect and intestinal fortitude are not up to the task of visiting PPP. I tried that once and I still have nightmares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I used to read and post comments until I realized that running my knuckles over a cheese grater was just as effective at satisfying my masochistic tendencies. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it for decades, 2 from 1992-2012, and in 2012 i pretty much stopped watching. Too much drama, too much garbage, they became what MTV is to music videos.

Augie Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Other than a good college football game or a few specific college hoops games, I would generally only tune in for Mike & Mike and (God forbid!) Cowherd. They ruined M&M and sent Greenberg to a watered formula of all their other shows. Too much of Greenie watching the others talk. Cowherd went to Fox which I regularly watch for Big East hoops. I have to be careful to never tune into Cowherd a minute early lest I hear the voice of Skip Bayless. I’m very careful about that. .

row_33 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 i would still pay a premium monthly cable fee to get ESPN you couldn't fathom the trash that Canada has in the name of sports reporting from 2 networks... there hasn't been a decent NCAA hi-lite run on my screen since CNN dropped Nick Charles and Fred Hickman after 9/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The programming became complete trash about 6-7 years ago and I stopped watching it. I only watch if it's my only option of seeing the Bills.

Mike & Mike was the one I tried to catch when I could, and they blew that. Therefore, while I still pay, my viewership is watered down. That hurts them in the long run as evidenced by recent cost cutting (which, yes, had a lot of factors involved). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, besides PTI, all sports talk shows are trash. It’s hilarious that people bash ESPN but it’s not like FS1 is coming close to making a dent. Pretty much i watch live sports, PTI, and listen to podcasts. But try as some of this cults might, the nfl and ESPN are going to be the Kings no matter what.

M&M is no longer the same, and Cowherd is on FSN, as is BE basketball. I now watch more Fox than ESPN in general. ESPN is still the king, but I’ve been watching a lot of World Cup lately too. The world is changing to some degree.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
