OT…Have sports debate shows run their course?

I pretty much stopped watching anyone talk about sports unless it just happens to be on. Im sure there are some good guys out there.....but I cant deal with the regurgitated storyline talk and preschool analysis. 

 

I stick to twitter for some stats and some clips. Follow my fantasy football stuff and thats it.

I work from home so occasionally I have GMFB or Get Up

 

GMFB is ok on mondays when they go through each game. The rest of the week is just filler stories that I rarely watch. 
 

I used to love Mike and Mike so I turned on get up. It was unwatchable. Greeny and Rex  Ryan talking about the Jets and other loud people talking. I had to turn it off

The problem with these shows nowadays is that they don't even know what they are arguing about.  They take whatever is the latest hot-take on social media and ride it without actually getting any factual information.

 

Consider Tim Hasselbeck after the bills ran all over the raiders and then saying that the reason why Allen had such a good day was because they couldn't run the ball against them and he had to be "reckless" to move the football.  It makes absolutely no sense any which way you slice it.

I like PTI.  Tony and Wilbon are fun to listen to, and they’ve been around long enough to have educated and informed opinions.

Yep. It’s the only one I’ve ever watched (for 20+ years now). Both are respected journalists and provide some insight on timely sports stories* while admitting their biases. I tried the other fools at one point or another and couldn’t take more than a few minutes.
 

 

*i wish one of them knew at least something about hockey.

Agree with the majority of points, and kudos to the OP for the topic.

 

24 hour sports cycle, a flooded market of opinions, quick access to YouTube, cell phones, ridiculous salaries, and the movement away from actual journalism all are culprits of the horrific drop in quality.

 

It is why I am opposed to Thursday Night football. I think it actually waters down the overall product.

 

Like any organization, if you expand too quickly, push an agenda, don't innovate, or lose focus by trying to reach/market to everyone, quality drops.

 

Ask Disney, The Federal Government, the Roman Empire, California, or Hollywood writers for more details on how to take a nose dive. 😉
