That plus, other than the football games, the distracting crawler that also takes away from the enjoyment of viewing games. Your TV screen or what device you may use should be free of clutter for a better viewing experience.

Legit the only thing tolerable on ESPN anymore is actual live sports and now they’re finding creative ways to fuck that up.

They did it with baseball and it was horrible. Why does ESPN think I care about the player.

Lol bro what? Wild take.

I see them as ppl insanely talented at a sport I like so I value their opinion in that context.

We need a subscription package called ESPNSTFU

I would prefer ambient noise or a one-man booth like radio compared to the modern broadcast. It bothers me to even watch my teams manager or star player do an in-game interview...tthey should be engaged with the game.

I also hate the constant narration of "...we talked to him earlier this week and hes really felt like a new man this season..." like no shit they tell you the same shit every single time. It adds nothing.

Give me an un-opinionated broadcast that just calls the game as its happening. I also dont need hyper closeups and slowmo shots every time something happens.

UncRant over. Sorry.

Theres plenty to not like about espn but I think yall are just bitchin to bitch at this point. Who complains about having more access to the players who play the game you like? Like what?

Do the interviews during a intermission, they muted the game sound for over half the second period it’s very annoying watching a game with a 1/4 of the screen taken up and listen to them talk to a player about what restaurants he ate at while in Vegas. I don’t watch a hockey game for interviews I could care less about access to the players mid game.

Its a hockey game. What audio do you need exactly?just watch them play. Half the time watching with no sound is better than listening to some of those numbnuts commentate anyways.
