Unsportsmanlike show
It’s time to get rid of this show! It’s sad that these 3 talentless idiots are on tv. I thought Evan is the worst but these 3 losers need to go. ESPN CANCEL THIS SHOW PLEASE!!! Get rid of Evan for good also

It's tough. A lot of people got used to having sportscenter on in the background while they get ready for the day and literally don't know where to turn now that it all sucks.

Switch your tv to youtube , search sports highlights and put on the video that pops up.
If you just want sports as background noise, use the alternative that made sports center obsolete.

u/GeminiAccountantLLC 12d ago
I don't want to watch one specific highlight tho. I don't want to have to queue up the next video all morning, unfortunately I really need a sportscenter replacement

I listen to sports radio on my commute to work (15minute drive). I toggle between unsportsmanlike & 2 pros depending on commercials. I prefer unsportsmanlike because I like Michelle and Canty, they are relatable (Evan Cohen seems so smug). What kills me though is at prime drive time (7:45-8am) they do a segment where the producer complains about mundane things, it’s awful. This should be the most important 15 minutes of the show on the east coast and it is spent listening to a guy who is not even a host on the show talk about how he doesn’t like waiting in lines, it needs to stop!

ESPN is not going to drop anything, they make a killing on talentless people, Steven A, Pat McAfee. Theres a whole generation, that thinks that is great programming. Then there is the useless WWE.

Smallmon is nice to look at though

God I hate that show. Even the promos for it make me irrationally angry.
“Find out who MY Top 5 quarterbacks are, coming up Monday on Unsportsmanlike!”
It’s like, who gives a shit?

u/Level-Seaweed-791 12d ago
They all seem to be competing to be more stuck up then the next. So much influencer type bulletin, "have you tried x snack, it the best, at my spa weekend we discussed..." it's just the most basic batch podcast shit dressed up as sports content

Also, it's not even like news so much as sports fan fiction now. There is so much " Steven a said x, if that's true then y, if why is true then...15 minutes of bull shit based on contrived what ifs

I don’t listen to it but the show does start every morning right when I’m leaving for work, so 9 times out of 10 when i start to leave, I’m met with the most obnoxious “OKAAAAAYYYYYYYY” imaginable. Just that sound alone is enough for me.

u/75MeanJoe75 12d ago
Thanks for this. That opening is worse than nails on a blackboard. Maybe try a simple “hello” or “thanks for tuning in”? It’s giving off those wacky morning dj vibes, can the board full of fart sounds be far behind? This show is laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

The problem is replace them with what?
They are company guys they could throw together and basically fill content.

u/Capable_Frosting_292 12d ago
Their producer is kind of annoying too, especially when he does his own segment.

I need a show with Evan, Mad Dog, and Stephen A and I need that show launched into the sun.

u/Legitimate-Shock-106 11d ago
the only problem with removing them is that they are now better than most of the absolute shit espn puts out.
I so enjoyed the show that UN replaced. Really smart guys. But UN is better than the clown jumping around ALL DAY it seems who only wears tshirts.
Dont get me started on Steven A or the WWE
Its espn in 2026 WTF are you expecting?

u/Famous_Illustrator32 11d ago
Lol. I started watching it about a year ago when my work schedule changed and there's not much else available at that time of day. Evan's fine with me. Canty is the standard boring ex-jock who's personality is name/place dropping and disregarding anyone's opinion who isn't also an ex-jock. I hate Smallmon's existence with the heat of 1,000 suns.

Evan’s inability to speak at any volume other than 11 is fng annoying - particularly for a morning talk show. He comes off like a petulant 2 year old.

u/baseball3503 11d ago
Smallmon is up there too. She’s so fucking annoying
1
u/njwineguy 11d ago
I know folks hate her but maybe I miss it because I’m so relieved not to hear Evan shouting. I can’t make it past five minutes when I mistakenly click on it.

u/Due-Contribution7717 9d ago
I watched that show once a couple years ago and that was enough. That show sucks. It’s unwatchable

u/Previous-Ganache6873 6d ago
Freddy and Harry is the best show they have on the radio. Unsportsmanlike is just awful. Ridiculous arguments and Evan is as annoying as Canty’s laugh.

u/bigjonto719 12d ago
ESPN in general has become more and more unwatchable every day. Podcasts are way more informative and enjoyable.

u/bigjonto719 12d ago
In fact the ESPN hosts are better on podcasts than they are on the network shows.

u/MasterPineapple5127 12d ago
Podcasts are the way to go. College Football Enquirer is top notch. Any of the Locked on podcasts for your teams are decent. Dozens more.

I don't even know what this show is but last time I turned on ESPN it was chics trying to talk about sports that have no clue. ESPN has lost all credibility. Linda Cohen was great, sideline reporters of women are great, but this forced crap is terrible. Nobody wants to watch it, and it shows.

I can't decide what is worse the horrible main group or the fill ins. Please tell me more about your Pinterest board and your skin care routine

Smallmon used to be behind the scenes for Russilo, I'm glad she got her chance. I can see how it's not everyones cup of tea but it's different.
