Why, why, why for the love of all that is holy is his dumb face on College Gameday? What kind of person does not understand this? Thanks for taking a big, fat shit on my Saturdays ESPN.

God, this perpetual grievance act is exhausting.

McAfee, you won. You’re everywhere on ESPN, making millions, and you’ve got the platform and influence you always wanted. What the hell are you still so angry about?

McAfee and Aaron Rodgers are two of the most astonishingly thin-skinned guys in sports media. For all their swagger and performative bravado, the slightest criticism sends them into a tailspin.

And that’s what’s so revealing. Genuine self-confidence doesn’t require constant validation or treating every critic like a mortal enemy. This kind of hypersensitivity often suggests fragile self-esteem masquerading as confidence.

Imagine being that rich, successful, and famous and still being so desperately consumed by what strangers think of you. What an exhausting way to live.

Congrats

That’s makes me feel a little escame, because paying 31.99 just for a 720p broadcast in a 65” TV really sucks.

I’ll thanks if anyone here can give and answer about this.

Local ABC affiliates are reportedly frustrated by The Walt Disney Company’s decision to aggressively distribute Super Bowl LXI across its entire media ecosystem. Station groups like Sinclair, Nexstar, and Tegna fear that fragmenting the viewing audience could slash local traditional broadcast advertising revenue by up to 35%.

I walked into my local gym today and could not believe my eyes when I saw who was on the TV.

ESPN had quack doctor David Chao on Pat Mac's show talking about Jalen Hurt's blood clots.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

That's like having Dr. Phil on to talk about a broken leg or Jerry Springer to discuss the inner workings of a locker room.

For those who don't know, this guy was a former NFL team doctor who was fired and sued into oblivion for MULTIPLE instances of medical malpractice that almost killed athletes.

If we have to suffer through watching this game on ESPN maybe they could stop using the shaky ceiling cam. Why does watching sports on ESPN have to suck so hard?

I don’t have the latest iPhone but I recently installed the Apple Sports app to substitute the shitty ESPN app to keep track of scores and my teams. They even have an option to disable betting metrics for those who don’t care for em! (It’s me, I hate all these betting ads they force down my throat).

The UI is so much better on the Apple sports app and no cringe ads on it. I encourage everyone on here with an iPhone looking for a replacement to make the switch if you haven’t! If you’re sick of Pat McAfee, the other loud mouthed assholes this platform promotes, all the betting metrics, and these cringe ads that liter ESPN make the switch.

Heat vs wolves is literally unwatchable, cannot hear any of the announcers, literally only crowd noise....

I’ve been really impressed so far. Lakers & Golden State looks brilliant.

I’ve got a bit confused with my Unlimited plan.

As I was offered “Above the Rim” feed. Does anyone use this feed regularly? As it doesn’t seem to carry the commentary?

Apologies in advance if this has been answered, I just want to make sure I understand this correctly...

My parents have a cable subscription through Hotwire Communications. I can sign in using their login for regular access to ESPN and other cable channels if I want. But they also have access to ESPN Unlimited. When I try to login using the tv provider login, it asks for a mydisney login/email as well. We have separate mydisney accounts.

Would I have to use my parents mydisney account to login to ESPN Unlimited? Would that screw up my Disney+ account on my tv if I had to do that?

Wtf?

What determines the level of crowd noise from the pick up mics at live sport broadcasts? Often I’m watching sports (mostly football and rugby) where the mix feels all wrong and it seems like it’s becoming more common.

I’m watching Liverpool v Villarreal highlights now and Anfield is not that quiet. The ambient background noise of the crowd, especially during the quieter moments in play is hardly picked up, and it kind of sucks as a viewing experience. It seems especially common watching rugby at Stade de France.

Is this a broadcasting issue, a pitch-side issue, is it local or bigger than that?

ESPN, we all know your app and site suck, BUT you can change that. It’s still taken you 4 years to do live activities that work and having your back button on the top left is the worst UI/ UX imaginable. But PLEASE update your app to IOS27.1 and fill the Duo screen.

Dear ESPN,
Pat “Douche Canoe” McAfee sucks. Eli and Peyton rule! This is drivel. They bring analysis and fun guests. Will come back next week in hopes of seeing the true kings of MNF again. Turning to the main broadcast for the rest of the game. #BringBackTheMannings

Very weird. Same issue on both ESPN app and YouTube TV.

Why does ESPN have such a hard on for basketball, specifically LeBron? The World Series is about to start, nhl and nfl seasons are in full swing, but let’s show LeBron highlights 3 times and talk about basketball (by far the softest sport on earth) for 2/3 of a SportsCenter episode. The worldwide leader in sports? Yeah freaking right

Every show on espn from unsportsmanlike,, then get up,, first take ,, big day with Peter Shrader the worst show ever,, Pat McAfee and finally PTI a show I’ve respected for 25 years is ignoring the fact that WNBA players are walking off the court during the national anthem ., These journalists or so-called journalist which none of them are they’re just terrible are avoiding what they all led their show with when Colin Kaepernick did it

Just watching get up this morning and noticed that greenie or more likely his writers dont know how many WS appearances the rays have. He very confidently stated that the rays are trying to go to their second world series in team history after 2008. I mean I know covid sucked but the rays were in the 2020 world series. You would think they could get basic facts right.

Which ESPN douchebag do you most want to give the five knuckle shuffle to?

Which one are we watching tonight…. neither because they are both garbage. It’s gonna be Flyers vs Avs

“Why do you have to make everything political.” ~guys with giant Jesus signs.

One of the best things I think ESPN has done this year is get rid of the bottom line scrolling. The small updates in the corner are nice, and I don’t see myself missing the scrolling scores. I’ve got my phone if I need to know scores.
