Niwrad posted:Instead of having some former players/coaches giving random opinions on vague topics, I wish they'd use their expertise for something that requires expertise. Have a show that breaks down film and talks about changes teams made in games or over the course of a season. Show how a team defended a certain player well. There are some YouTube accounts that do this and are popular, I'm surprised ESPN doesn't put together a show like that for the NBA. It seems like it'd be cheap to produce too. I agree completely. Sportscenter is an obsolete show. Anyone can see scores and highlights anytime. And I think a lot of people have come to realize that a highlight is utterly pointless without seeing it in context of the game. They're clinging to the show because of people who don't like the internet watching it, but that audience will die, or learn to use computers. They created endless yelling shows to fill the non sportscenter time and espn2, and I think people have grown very weary of them too. Use the thousand strong team of analysts to actually analyze things. Maybe replay games with the analysts breaking things down in a little window? I assume they'd show lots of weird sports like they used to, if they got ratings. They should use their position to make better sports fans, not stupider more yelly sports fans.

AsInHowe posted:Everything about the new ESPN package is visually unattractive. The massive set feels like a dystopian movie. The graphics, from the little things like fonts to the interstital full-screen ones, look like something out of a generic video game (simple, compressed for space). The entire package places so much focus on the new changes that the actual highlights and facts presented are completely overwhelmed. It all feels like a vanity project for no reason, and with no point. It's like they subconsciously realize that Sportscenter is an obsolete show and cooked up this massive ridiculous studio as a reaction. People don't care about contextless highlights anymore, they can check exactly which games they care about online and get a comprehensive picture from any of a billion bloggers. So they turn up the bombast and hope that their aging demographic leaves ESPN on while they're snoring in worn out recliners.

DJExile posted:A broadcast of a Brazilian basketball league was able to remove the ubiquitous shoe-squeaking sound through some sponsorship with ford. The concept is bizarre to me Half of the good of basketball as as spectator is its specific noises. I understand maybe brazilian namby pamby coup lovers would be put off by it, but guess what, they're burning down the rainforest, and I'm not burning anything at all

Is it shocking or not shocking that Dave Portnoy thought that Colin Kaepernick was an arab who was kneeling for the national anthem because he supported ISIS? The special-ed clickbait Bill Simmons ladies and gentlemen

He sounds like the world's most desperate sycophant on mike lombardi's podcast. Maybe this will give him some happiness.

I was watching on tv that night and I think that brawl is the most amazing thing I've ever seen on live tv. I was so psyched by the fight itself and by the fact that the Pacers had just thrown away the eastern conference title to Detroit by running into the stands. Feel bad for Stephen Jackson though, he was just trying to defend his friend

Bird in a Blender posted:I’m confused, I watched the first episode of Untold Malice at the Palace on Netflix and it says another episode was supposed to come on the 17th. Well it’s two days later and it’s not showing a new episode. Is my Netflix screwed up or is something going on? https://www.netflix.com/search?q=untold&jbv=81026437 I think this is the new edition of the UNTOLD: series, it's not about malice at the palace though

People have been hating Bill Simmons for ages, not realizing that Bill's fade from the sports scene would see him replaced by a tiny evil version of himself, Dave Portnoy

He annoyingly screamed his way to fame and fortune. He gave himself throat cancer but earned 20m in the process. I'm sure he feels like it's a great trade
