Best ESPN Show

I'm sitting here sick watching ESPN and that got me thinking. What is every ones favorite show on ESPN? and I'm not talking Sports Center which is just basically sports news. I'm also not talking the Sports particular analysis shows, which in my opinion for the NFL are terrible, but for most other sports they are decent. I'm talking more so about the other shows that have different things to offer.

My personal favorite is Sports Nation. I love that show. I'm a personal fan of Colin Cowherd, some times he gets a little Skip Baylessie but I think he is mostly good, and his co-host Michelle Beadle is funny, and pretty cute haha. I think its really cool the way they post the polls and debate over the polls, its really entertaining stuff. My runner up is Around the horn, Woodie Page is Hilarious!

I don’t like any of those, and First Take is particularly awful. I do respect NFL Network at times though, as well as the MLB Network.

I hate around the horn, the host for that show looks like such a tool

I tolerate most of ESPN, but like very little. PTI is ok. I like Bob Ley

First take is awful. I used to like PTI but ever since Kornheiser did MNF i can’t stand to hear his voice. Around the horn is full of douches who think they know it all. I guess I never realized it but I’m strictly a SC guy haha

None of the above...

I only watch ESPN for news and highlights. Skip Bayless is a waste of space.

Honestly

I don’t watch Sportscenter or ESPN anymore, except when I want to watch the highlights of the Eagles or Phillies or the Tide. Thank goodness for DVR, so it takes me about 10 minutes and I don’t have to listen to the rest of it.

It’s not that I hate ESPN, it’s just that since I read inforned blogs like this one, I find I know much more about the teams I’m interested in than they do, and what they have to say about the other teams or sports, I’m not interested in.

Sports Nation

I do enjoy Sports Nation. It has some good talk on there and it can be funny at times. It also shows a lot of things not just sports but funny little clips, pictures, etc.

PTI and Around the Horn I can’t stand Kornheiser is annoying as hell. I don’t like him on their or MNF.

i like rome on the radio.

not so much on t.v. you just don’t get to hear him actually being funny on t.v. it’s like diet jim rome.

Mike and Mike

I love Golic. And although Mike Greenberg is a biased Jets fan, he still has a better view on sports in general than those other douchefucks on ESPN.

BTW, a friend of mine was telling me how ESPN should get rid of Greenberg and put in Strahan. I told him that he was crazy, but now that I’m thinking about it…it’s actually not too bad of an idea. Golic’s a former Eagles, Strahan’s a former Giant. And, maybe it’s just me, but he’s not as bad of a analyst as I thought he’d be.

no way man

the chemistry between mike and mike is great I love that show its on so early though

Let's get it.

Mike and Mike is/are awesome. I think the show works so well because one is a former football player and one is a journalist who can make fun of how small he is. They’re both really great radio personalities…I think this is the best show espn has, easily.

I know you said no sports particular shows, but NFL Matchup.

Best show on ESPN. It is light years better than all the other NFL analysis/news shows they have combined. But since it’s on at like 2 in the morning, no one knows about it.

by NOLACuse on Nov 6, 2009 12:23 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

oh man I totally forgot about that show

that show is really good. but like you said its only on at like 2 or 3 in the morning. I miss when I was an insomniac and watched that like every night haha

Let's get it.
