    That last second layup drive in the Lakers/Spurs game cut out on everyone, right?

    The debut episode of ESPN's morning show "Get Up!" averaged 283,000 viewers yesterday. That's down -12% from ESPN's 7-10am time period average on Mondays last April.


    According to the piece, Greenberg makes $6.5 million per year, Beadle makes $5 million per and Rose comes in at $3 million for a total of $14.5 million per year.

    Maybe if they didnt spend 98% of what LeBron was doing they might get a few people. No one cares about that cry baby bitch and what his political views are. But somehow he is all they can talk about. And no one cares.

    You know management at ESPN/ABC is sh!tting bricks right now.

    Read something about some cartoon getting 3 times the viewership that Get Up got. So they may want to consider airing Bugs Bunny. I know which one of those I’d be watching.

    ESPN needs sports people or at least never ever talk about non sport issues to get viewers back

    They should re-name it the Affirmative Action Network.

    They completely chased away their original deep-pocket core audience.

    It would be the equivalent of Mike Golic and John Kruk taking over The View. Makes no sense. Girls don't watch ESPN, so why are half the announcers chicks?

    Last night, prime time, they had a huge feature on NBA 2k gamers. I kindly ask.....who gives a F?

    I agree with these posts

    i just don’t see how a sports network could accidentally cut out of the last few seconds of a game though, wth is going on there?

    The lack of education by many employees hurts the network too, many do not want to see and or hear ghetto talk or street talk.

    Looked up in the sports book today and saw Golic and Wingo debating whether adults should put ketchup on their hot dogs. Yeah ESPN is a dumpster fire.

    sports radio seems a little better but they all don't realize it is about the listener/viewers not them
