ESPN ratings are absolutely dying

and they just keep pounding women’s pro and college basketball. It’s hilarious to me. It’s like they are blind to their own fault.

Aussie rules football for cornhole


Clemson being on the CW more is a bonus IMO

Exactly. Aussie Football was good to ESPN going back to 1980. ESPN would be nothing without Aussie Football

Yeah, ESPiN just saw the word 'CORNHOLE,' and thought it involved...

I haven't watched anything on ESPiN in nearly 10 yrs other than Clemson...


Nov 7, 2023, 8:16 AM

football. About 10 years ago I started recording most of our games and waiting for half an hour so I could FF through commercials, breaks and halftime. Most games I watch with the mute feature on.

ESPiN's talking heads remind me of those torturous days I dallied in politics. Pick some rhetoric and everyone on the network repeats it. Their disrespect of Clemson and Dabo was unbearable.

My fav moment was when Stephen A faced Dabo after saying Alabama was his #5 #4 #3 #2 and NUMBER ONE picks. Dabo embarrassed ESPiN to my delight.

ESPN ignores professional wrestling, so I ignore ESPN.

I'm gonna look and see if New Texas Pro Wrestling has any events going on. They've gotten to be a fairly strong indy promotion. They had nothing on the books when we were there last month.

Their website is looking dusty

like there isn't much to it, they have a show in houston coming up, and that's all that's on the books.

If y'all are out the weekend it looks like, it'll probably be wrestlemania weekend.

They hired Mcafee. Wasn't he a wrestler for awhile?***

Adam Cole and ended up in the ring against him. He was really more of a commentator and a 'celebrity guest wrestler' than an actual regular in WWE. He wasn't a complete noob when that happened, he had done some indy stuff on the side before that I believe but I wouldn't really classify him as a wrestler as much as I would a utility guy in some of the storylines. WWE has a long history of sprinkling in those type guys who don't work really regularly.

Sportscenter is such a joke these days

I watch MLB Network if I want baseball highlights, NFL Network if I want NFL highlights, Golf Channel for PGA highlights, and ACC or SEC Network if I want college football/baseball/basketball highlights.

That way I never have to see a single NBA, WNBA, or whatever-league soccer play. Ever.

If I happen to be scrolling through and the Top 10 Plays are on I'll watch.

Otherwise, pffft.

The World Wide Leader in Sports should only cater to those three sports and just a couple NCAA leagues, mostly Power 5. I don't want to see highlights I am personally not interested in!!!!!!!


























I like soccer and I like watching NBA highlights. WNBA is a no-go for me though.

Maybe it is cheaper to promote womens sports.

Thier ratings probably are junk, but you didn't provide

any evidence of this. You don't need to provide documentation of women's basketball being awful. But here is the thing, why do you care and why do post this like once or twice a year?
