Serious question,
Was ESPN ever that good besides sports? Yeah, it is more political now but the network was never filled with rocket scientists. Olbermann/Patrick/Kilborn were doing the dorky comedy routine when covering sports 20 years ago. It just got cold.
Go watch an episode of "The Sports Reporters" on YouTube, it is just all platitudes and cliches, no analysis. Old Jim Rome show, Around the Horn, PTI etc
I can't think of one non-sports show on ESPN that if it cameback and was on now that I would watch.
Besides maybe "Playmakers", that shit was funny as hell.
That trivia show was good. Remember the guy that was unbeatable?
