did ballstool kill how we talk about sports?

ESPN’s problem is they replaced all of the actual talent with brown sociology majors in logo tees. Nobody wants to be fucking lectured by 85 iqs to start every show.

I get your point but Shannon Sharpe was dismissed only a couple weeks ago

Everything about this sounds horrifying.

The fact you watch people kayfabe for hours on end doesn't paint your IQ well either.

what's her onlyfans link? i really really want to give her money

Old media is dying and they probably have been coaxed into trying to regain subscribers by getting some tiktok girl aboard.

Pretty much. ESPN has been dying on the vine for years.

I grew up following sports in the newspapers and the radio. We didn't even have TV. All you TV people are weird to me

ESPN just bought NFL Network so there is no escaping them now.

>usually leave car radio on local sports talk station
>on Saturday afternoon they've added some syndicated show with 2 female hosts
>spent the first 10 minutes of the show talking about fashion at the ESPYs
I'm out

>be me
>live in small market town
>always leave radio on local sports talk station at home, work, car, everywhere I go
>never had a female host
>it's all local sports by local sports celebrities from our local area that played for our local teams
>syndicated shows only come on late night, all national syndicated shows nation wide. The ones we pick up are all by white men. I like all of them

Why would the NFL sell their own studio?

>>150107185
NFL got 10% equity in ESPN

Oh no. A w-w-woman!

Life's great

For what purpose? They're a sports league. Now they have a 10% stake in airing he WNBA and Indy.
This shit benefits nobody but the people owning the NFL.

>>150107222
Pretty close to 0% chance we see any new stories about CTE from ESPN now. Also may be able to push ESPN to drop UFL coverage.

Pivot to video slop is happening everywhere in media. Sports might be in a unique position because a lot of the old head sportswriters were able to earn a living mostly writing game summaries. Now, if you didn't watch Knicks regular season game 35, watching some highlight clips and reading some twitter morons argue about whatever happened is just a better way to engage with it.

I prefer to read rather than listen people talk, so all my game prep involves reading, and ESPN has some great talent, like my local ESPN beat reporter for my NFL team

As for talking heads, paying any attention to them has always been something viewed as very low IQ, right? Ask all your friends

As for talking heads for game prep or analysis, the only one forced on anyone is the anchor desk hosting that channel's gameday and the color commentator doing the games

NFL Sundays is only
FOX is Terry and the crew and Terry is as low IQ as you can get, right? They also have Gronk on there right? Even their lead commentatory, Tom Brady, is very low IQ to me
CBS - i have no idea but if I saw them it would ring a bell. I know Romo is their lead color commentator
NFL - NBC - same. I know Collinsworth is their lead color commentator

NFL Mondays
ABC/ESPN - I have no idea. I remember Gruden, who is also low IQ but fun

NFL Thursdays
Prime - i have no idea

College Football Saturdays
ESPN Gameday is the big one, i know all those guys because they are famous. Do you think Corso is IQ?

See how low people watch TV so they get low IQ people to relate to them?

As for me I stick to reading and when the game is on I turn it local radio and listen to my local radio station's team and I like them, the ex NFL player we have (a black guy) is smarter than Tom Brady by far

you know, something that makes me love life and want to keep living is how i think about how miserable and worthless my life is and then constantly have to see shoved in my face how so many hot girls become "social media influencers" and become rich and famous from doing literally nothing. she just graduated from college and is already richer, more famous, and more important than i ever even had the chance to be, just because of her looks. gets to be a major contributor for the biggest sports network, likely reporting on non-sports related shit with her "lifestyle content" and making a pretty penny while doing so, reporting on what athletes wives are wearing or other related bullshit

life is so fair. i cant wait to keep living longer and seeing the future.
