ESPYS

What happened last night ABC? Watching the end of the ESPYS and it went back to the Rob Lowe Muhammad Ali segment and then cut back to the Prince Harry segment and then went to quick closing credits...

Political and cultural disagreements have not only affected our enjoyment of sports but now sports awards shows, apparently

Do we really need ESPYs anyway.

I have not watched ESPN in years. I still have its carriage fee stuck in my traditional cable package bill.

I would never see myself paying for it separately if I cut the cord.

It’s a certain crowd breaking their own arms patting themselves and each other on the back.

It's Disney saving a buck airing an ESPN show on ABC primetime in the summer.

I do not miss ESPN at all, the only time I have viewed ESPN the last few years, either at a sports bar with friends, or over someone's house who has cable w/ESPN, other than that, I'm fine without it....
