ESPN or NFLN

[Mister Sin]

For me, I preferre Mike Mayock over Mel Kiper. And NFLN doesn't tip the picks. I don't know if ESPN has fixed that or not.

How do you feel about tipping picks? I fucking hate it. I don't think a team should be allowed to call a player until after the pick was made. I want to see genuine surprise on these kids faces

NFLN most of the time unless ESPN is showcasing Rams. Cannot wait for the Inglewood Project to be complete which will include a Head Quarters for NFLN and thus that network will talk about the Rams like the ESPN worships the Patriots like their False Gods.

i watched nfln last year and hated it. just didn't like the vibe. and sanders doing the interviews, what a turn off.

i like listening to kiper and mcshay way more. when berman talks my mind instantly creates a fog horn sound until it sees his mouth stop moving.

Wow -- I'm the complete opposite, except I agree that Berman is an insufferable 49er-taint-licking blowhard.

But NFLN is the only choice for me:

I prefer Rich Eisen to Chris Berman
I prefer Mike Mayock, Charles Davis, and Daniel Jeremiah to Kiper and McShay
I prefer Ian Rapaport to Adam Schefter
I'd rather sit through Deion than even have to look at Keyshawn, much less listen to anything he has to say

The one guy I'd like to see bail on ESPN for NFLN would be Tom Jackson -- he's really the only ESPN guy who gives a straightforward football opinion without smothering it in hype.

I flip back and forth depending on who's talking, who they're talking about, and commercials.

 

[dieterbrock]

I watch the NFL network and record ESPN. Then after the dust clears I surf though the ESPN coverage for Rams related stuff.
I wish there was a way to have Mayock, Jeremiah and McShay on the same team. I pretty much don't have use for the rest

Ever since the Bradford-Foles trade, I have been listening to 97.5 THE FANATIC in Philadelphia and will for the Draft I think....I am disapppointed so far in LA sports talk, because i want to hear about football all year. Most of Philly sports suck, and they are so damn funny because they live and die for the Eagles...They absolutely crush guys or hold them up to the heighths in almost the same day. The ONLY thing I miss about 101ESPN was that it covered the Rams a lot, but even when they loved the Rams they are not close to the FANATIC. and since the Rams have been so closely linked by the Sam-Nick trade and now this year of their having to take our leftovers, it's so funny. They would absolutely die if we take Carson Wentz...lol

I actually record both but usually watch NFLN live.

 

[Roman Snow]

I flip around. I usually don't get a chance to watch the whole thing but I will this year. (Wife and daughter will be out of town.)

Lots of Berman hate here, and I get it, but somehow I suffer through him. He is like a charicature of himself anymore, but his voice is soothing to me somehow. Maybe it's a kind of Stockholm Syndrome, or something.

Anyway, my son may join me. We'll barbecue, have a beer or two. Maybe golf after church on Sunday.

 

[ChrisW]

I like Mcshay but not Kiper.

Mayock is the best.

Honestly, I'll probably catch the pick on a stream or something. I'm not committing dollars to the shield anymore.

 

[BonifayRam]

Easy pick NFLN.

I had no clue that ESPN is still around why would it be?

 

[Corbin]

I usually flip back and forth but watch NFLN most of the time until you get a rare shit bag like Jamie Dukes on there and even then he's usually better than the best person they have on ESPN. Berman, McShay, and Kiper?uke:uke:uke:uke:

 

[thirteen28]

ESPN is a bunch of blowhards, unwatchable at this point. NFLN is an easy choice here.

 

[StealYoGurley]

NFLN so much better and I think they ge the exclusive post pick interviews with the players this year because the NFL decided to flex on ESPN.

 

[JonRam99]

NFLN. The business of NFLN is the NFL. Can't get much better.
E$PN & E$PNRadio is borderline unwatchable / unlistenable. Lots of click-bait topics, not a lot of football / sports talk. And when their parent company, ABC, wants them to push a social-agenda topic, like dragging an Indiana University Athletic Director into their studio for public shaming & intimidation, it makes me want to never waste my time watching or listening to E$PN ever again.
I get most of my sports info from SiriusXM.... and you guys Seriously, I learn a lot about football from real football forums like this one.

 

[blackbart]

ESPN has been in the toilet for so long now the only time I go there is if they have a game I want to watch.

This year I'll watch the first 15 minutes of the first night on NFLN and be done with it.

The last 2 years have been cool with The Rams on NFL net. Mike Silver did a good story. I think ESPN would be good to record for a hour before & after since The Rams have the first pick.

 

[MarkMyWords]

How do you feel about tipping picks? I freaking hate it.

Yeah this. They try so stinking hard to be "first". The instant a player picks up his phone the camera is right there. I also vote for no cell phones allowed until the pick is called out!

No one talks about Chuckie(Gruden) from ESPN. He is there with Kipper & Mcsay.I think it would be cool to get his take on The Rams drafting the QB #1 vs his old Philly team taking The Rams leftover. -- It will be interesting to get his view on who got the best QB

 

[Rambitious1]

I literally do not even watch ESPN anymore.
