    Another bash ESPN thread

    It's one thing for them to insert a female announcer for men's basketball games, as women are playing basically the same game. A softball playing MLB announcer?

    I know she did it last year too (Jessica Mendoza), I just think it's weird and stupid. If you want to watch Cubs opening day you have to deal with it I guess

    Not really a color commentator and not really a play by play, just there.

    Yeah Jessica, it's called going with the pitch and hitting to the opposite field. It ain't rocket science

    I'm indifferent on her. Slight lean to getting rid of her though.

    Nice strawman argument. I didn't say all former players are good commentators.

    They don't even have to be former professionals, but playing the sport at some point makes them more believable. It's ESPN though, we all know what it's about.

    Next up, the Miami team bridge champions will host the WSOP

    I agree 1000% that ESPN sucks ass. Bunch of libtard jew prikks trying to cram their leftist agenda down our throats. But I personally think Jessica does a good job.

    As you can tell...I'm clearly more tolerant than most SBR posters though.

    Webber probably worst of all time. especially when he fakes excitement, or gives superlong meaningless analysis. At least Walton can amaze you at his level of crazy lol. Never gives any actual analysis.

    It's too bad she got her job because ESPN didn't like Schillings conservative stance. His stance away from the booth should have no bearing on his job as long as they don't cross.

    You can tell from her first broadcast... and last night's broadcast. She's 100% better.

    Hope she buys some implants with her money.

    I don't even think about turning on that channel unless a game is on that I have to watch. But, she never bothered me. They are all the same when you know the game. Most of us know the deal when we're watching, or think we do, so not much they can say that is insightful. She doesn't annoy me, and that's all I ask.

    Though, I watch like 5 games half paying attention until the Playoffs, so maybe she sucks. It's a tough job really. Explaining shit to people who already know what is going on.

    No question you'd smash. She's skinny, a dunce, acts like she's intelligent, and gives you that geeky smile. Those are the perfect kind.

    ESPN deserves to go out of business when they fired Schilling and Kruk and replaced them with this bitch.

    Bring back Jon Miller and Joe Morgan. I never thought I'd say it, but I gotta keep the TV on mute when Mendoza does games.

    NBA on TNT is the only thing I listen to for sports talk, and that's after the last thursday night game.
    Sometimes MLB Network has good stuff during games-helps my rotisserie league.

    Fellahs, turn off the T.V.'s and turn on your computers/tablets/laptops.

    ESPN has never-ever helped me win a bet.

    I'm too busy handicapping horses and games to give a phuck about that shit-show.
