You guys that are criticizing the content-quality of ESPN are way-off ... WAY-OFF!!!

This morning, I sat down, looked at my remote's guide and saw the Keshawn, J-Will and Max show listed. Knowing it would not be on, I was curious about what would be in its place. It was ESPN Radio simulcast, which I have never tuned into. Out of curiosity, thought I would watch a little. Two attractive youngish hosts (one of each gender).

The topic was Hot Dog Condiments.

Not kidding. I realize it's July 4th and it may be a slow sports media day ... but ... Come-on.

So I do some morning things around the apartment; and, about thirty minutes later, turn the TV back on ... same station ... ESPN Radio. The topic ...

HOT DOG CONDIMENTS!!!

So, I think you guys should lay-off on criticizing the quality ESPN's content and product.
Don't you all feel silly now?


Post-Script
By-the-Way, I should have added ... the consensus was Mustard, followed by Onions, Sauerkraut and Relish.
Deepest Apologies for keeping you guys hanging and in-the-dark on the results of this engaging topic.

I won’t use this situation as an opportunity to criticize Disney.

Of course, as a resident of the Orlando area, I have little choice in the matter.

(They’re watching me even now, as I type this…send help….please!)

I mean, um….I love live action remakes of old animated classics! They are not in any way lazy cash grabs! I look forward to the upcoming live action remakes of every Pixar movie! Long live the mouse!

I think if you're one of these guys who got laid off and you have the ability to put out good content ESPN may have done you a favor. Because things are definitely trending to personalities and content over the label.

Plus ESPNs content has sucked ass for years now. If I'm Todd McShay for example I'd be setting up my shit on twitter and youtube and do my own thing with the inevitable cameos with Kiper during the draft season.
Merlin vs McShay on the Draft! Find it on Tik Tok, when not watching short dance routines by Addison Rae

I had a big crush on Suzy Kolber, when she first hit the scene. I was so disappointed to find out she was a lesbian. I was more disappointed when I googled Suzy Kolber kissing a woman and couldn’t find it.

She's married to a man named Eric Brady and has a kid with him. So probably not a lesbian.

Lol so that was just a rumor? All of these years I thought she was gay. She started working there in 1993. That’s before the internet and I couldn’t really fact check it.

Companies are always trimming the fat. I can’t blame them, it’s a business and necessary to keep them competitive. Ultimately the consumer gets a better product if done right.

Listening to Keyshawn or even Steve Young for example, I always come away feeling these guys are skating by on name vs doing some research and preparing.

Where I work we just lost some 23 year career guys. It was rough to see but we all agreed they were not carrying their weight. So it’s hard feel for someone just collecting a paycheck.

In some cases like Mcshay, you have to wonder what the reason was. He probably contributed more knowledge in one draft then Keyshawn did in his entire career.

But sometimes talented high priced heads are not where the company is at. Exhibit A: Jalen Ramsey.
