"We're going to 'hire' as many attractive sports-minded females as possible, we're also going to bring in 'people of color' to upgrade our ratings, and show sports America we (ESPN) are truly a non-discriminatory network"
Oh! I almost forgot, "and order 250 MORE teleprompters"
Michael & Jamelle are in dire straits without them....(they mumble, and talk in circles/sh!t without them) watch this show one time, and you'll understand exactly where ESPN is coming from, and where it's going to end up.....
ESPN is a mere shell of what they were just 8 years ago; their so called 'new look' has become transparently 'ludicrous' however, they did hire/exploit some very attractive(totally unknowledge-able) ladies to foot the bill....

ESPN has done over the last few years a lot of things that have hurt their bottom line and i'll name a few
1. Overspent for NFL and NBA coverage
ESPN pays 1.1 Billion for the MNF package. A package where they don't get to flex games out. And when they moved MNF to ESPN in 2006 the NFL basically said they didn't care about MNF as they were going to make Sunday Night Football on NBC the game of the week. And in the new ESPN NFL deal they get a playoff game wildcard weekend... The worst one
Same in the NBA though basically every network overspent on the NBA and that's why the Salary Cap is skyrocketing in the NBA
2. Too much NFL coverage
The reasoning the NFL had for Thursday Night football was they needed it to save the NFL Network. My response then was you don't need the NFL Network....Because ESPN IS the NFL Network. Not everything that happens in the NFL is that important and what hurts in that mark for ESPN is the NFL ratings are down and i think will continue to drop
3. They can say what they want but they're political
ESPN made this choice a long time ago which has hurt them with conservatives and with just average people who want to watch the game. Whether it be the town halls about black issues/them supporting Black Lives Matter. To the nonstop talking about Kaepernick and his BS from last year to the Caitlyn Jenner mess. ESPN has really gone like one write said to appealing to the liberal fringe on social media and in the process turned the rest of the country off
2 issues in my view hurt ESPN the most. We all remember a couple years ago the Michael Sam situation where he came out and the majority of us said "Good for you I guys GL to you and make us some money" The majority of people didn't give 2 bleeps and a holler about Michael Sam's sexual preference. ESPN went on and on and on and on about it which led to the draft where he got picked and he kissed his boyfriend
The reason I think the kiss between Sam and his BF bothered me and others was it looked staged. I remember someone here pointing that out when it happened and you had the ridiculousness of them feeding each other wedding cake which was dumb. It seemed like an ESPN publicity stunt. And then we he got to training camp with the Rams you had that reporter discuss Sam's showering habits. I mean WTF is that? What do you think he's going to do in the shower? Did you think he'd look at Sam Bradford and be like Hey Bradford your penis looks like a penis except its smaller
The 2nd issue which hurt ESPN with me was all throughout the CFB season LY every Saturday a game on ESPN or ESPN2 would go to commercial and you'd see a Hillary Clinton Stronger together ad. Now I realize some of you would say "packers you supported and voted for Trump so of course you hated Hillary ads and if they were Trump ads you would've said nothing" and you'd be wrong. I think the majority of us watch and bet sports...To get away from the BS in politics and the world. I don't believe political ads belong on a sports network
Just my 2 cents guys and I don't think ESPN can recover from the mess they've made over the last number of years
