    Can't believe how bad the Sunday Night Baseball announcers are....

    I used to look forward to listening to SNB, but now I watch it muted.

    ESPN is too PC for me. I've stopped listening to ESPN radio and quit watching Sports Center. I don't listen to Mendoza--she's a softball player for God's sake, and I'm sick of ESPN shoving women into the booth to be "progressive." I watch ESPN's video feed, mute the sound, and tune in to a feed on MLB radio.

    Schulman, Schilling, and Kruk were the best. I guess the last two got too conservative (real) for ESPN

    It's like having Pele as an announcer in the women's World Cup of soccer.

    ESPN is the reason Disney stock has taken a hit lately!
    The analysts say it's dead weight into the future.

    When ESPN started to think like it was the gold standard for sports television, starting with stupid stuff like the ESPYS that's where they made a turn for the worst. It used to be about reporting sports in different, cutting edge style using real athletes and inside guys to expose a new angle to the public. They hired smart writers and used people in the know to appeal to all the sports nuts out there. It was always about the sport, now its about selling their own brand. Its about advertising and $$$. It still covers college sports better than anyone else out there but the focus is on being politically correct, not being the rebel in the business. ESPN took itself too seriously.

    The sports world would benefit so much if ESPN went off the air. Same goes with sports radio.

    The old guy does radio announcing for Giants. Joe Morgan is advising the Reds on improving their bullpen.

    Ya Miller and Morgan were good. It's a new era though and we have to accept the changes. These women from the fewture keep showing up and taking our jawbs!
