    The talent at ESPN?

    For the most part, ESPN is garbage.
    Who do you feel at ESPN is sharp?

    I'll start.

    Bob Ley - As good as it gets. Outstanding with "Outside the Line"

    John Saunders - Great interviewer, calls a good game without going over the top. Solid sports guy, and good guy to boot.

    Hannah Storm - Yes, I know she's perky and all smiley, but she knows her stuff. She's been hanging around the NBA since she was eight years old, her father (Mike Storen) was the Atlanta Hawk president, and NBA executive for like, ever.

    Hanna picked her dad's brain clean, and it shows.

    (Google Mike Storen, you'd be very impressed what that guy has accomplished)

    Knight it a god ! What doesn't he know about college hoops, and how to play it?
    Lon McEachern should get more work, he's smart in a lot of areas, you can tell he barely tolerates Norman Chad though.

    Kruk is a joke, SA Smith is a joke, I cringe every time I look at Skip Bayless.
    Erin Andrews is an ice queen and annoying, Berman is turd and about as deep as a puddle.
    LeBatard and Mariotti are jack asses.
    Neil Everett is unlistenable, and on and on and on

    Always loved Gammons. Most of the non-baseball players that are on ESPN for baseball are tolerable.

    They're all globalists and never will say anything that does not go hand and hand with what the company wants.

    Say anything bad about Obama and your done.

    Everyone of them is as phoney as it gets.

    you are crazy. MLB, NFL, NBA , NHL networks are where its at.

    only good espn announcers are the Monday night football crew. The guys that do sportscenter are tools.

    when i clicked on this thread i was expecting to see half naked pictures of all the hot blonde chicks espn has hired that know absolutely nothing about sports but happen to be pretty and good at reading a script

    yeah JJ seems like such a tough guy in the videos amd then he makes comments on threads that dont seem to match his character.

    i just dont think anyone really believes espn guys are experts on sports. most of the time they act like TMZ and spend more time focusing on what happens off the field. They also dont even give honest analysis of games so they are worthless when using their info to cap games. Their goal is to boost interest and ratings.
