    Espn

    Is it because I'm "getting" old? Or has ESPN sunk beyond the point of no return? Has Wilbon ever gone an entire broadcast without mentioning Michael Jordan? Interruption should not be bursting in when you have nothing to say. I turn the shown when I'm really bored, but seldom last an entire segment that runs from commercial to commercial. Am I alone on this? I feel the SC6 crap is for 10 year olds and idiots. Maybe it's just me?

    ESPN is garbage. I prefer to watch with the sound off.

    Anyone with Comcast can get the full deal for ExtraInnings has to make the call 1-877-821-7268. $38/mo. for 4 months. Takes about 30 seconds. Unfortunately I have to watch the Sox-Rays on the Tampa Bay station (I'm in their area) and listen to the two worst announcers in baseball. But what we get in 2017 is a lot different from what we got 1947!

    Being out of the Boston area, I think the Extra Innings package is the best thing since sliced bread. I also like to watch other teams' games, so I'm good with getting the complete package versus the single team package.

    For anyone who gets the channels, Extra Innings always gives a free preview during the first week of the season. You can watch any of the games for free that week.

    Oops, think I posted that in the wrong thread. LOL

    On the topic of ESPN, my son absolutely loves it. Then again, he's 15.

    ESPN is one of the reasons I'm glad I gave up cable tv ten years ago. Garbage is the right word. I am sure it's contributing to this country's ADHD epidemic.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Speaking of awful announcers, Chip Caray thought Jacoby Jones (black) and JaCoby Jones (white) are the same person.

    Seems like age has something to do with it. ESPN is still my go to for sports news and programming. I've grown up on SportsCenter.

    You just are too young to remember when it was essential programming. Now, it's just the top of the garbage pile.

    If I had the choice to save money by leaving it off my cable subscription, it already would have been gone from my home for years.

    If they hadn't done it before, they finally found the bottom of the barrel with SC6!

    Yeah, even I hate the new SC6. Was never a fan of Michael and Jemele on Numbers Never Lie either.

    ESPN is horrible and there is very few analysts on there in any sport I can stand. Off the top of my head the only guys I really like are Ryan Clark and SVP. The fact they cover Lonzo Balls dad every day and let that idiots racist comments be a top news story is pathetic.
