I always tuned in for Gene's weekly feature. With these cuts plus no more Bear don't see much reason to watch.

Not GameDay...but I will miss Max Kellerman and Keyshawn on ESPN...I enjoyed the relaxed sports discussions in the morning...KJM felt like a neighborhood discussion about sports (although J-Will can be a bit abrasive)...don't enjoy the non-stop yelling about who knows more about sports or who was right or wrong on the other ESPN channels...

I always found him to saw good things about ISU which I can't say for other ones.
Yeah I never had a problem with Pollack's generally negative take on Iowa, some analysts like Iowa (Klatt) some don't. I just always felt Pollack never put in much work to make himself more informed. If the topic was anything not directly related to the SEC, he relied mostly on stereotypes and didn't have much of a clue.

McAfree is bearable in small doses, but I refuse to watch or listen to anything from Stephen A. Arrogant and wrong much of the time; I hate his outrage schitck.

MNF's coverage isn't outrage but it's loud and obnoxious and I wonder if their ratings just push ESPN in the direction for more dysfunction.

What are people's thoughts on Greeny? I think he's just awful... like fingernails on a chalkboard awful.

He has been ruining that network for years and years now... making it unwatchable. Such an elitist attitude IMO. Nobody else can touch him and his fancy degree from Northwestern.

He is awful but I dont watch his show. I only tune into anything ESPN is for sports. The rest is garbage.

Bear was only one I liked but have pretty much tuned out with their Hawk guest picker selections for Game Day at Jack Trice. Do they have someone that’s a fan of the visiting team anywhere else? ESPN hopefully laid off whoever their Hawk trolls are.
