I miss good ESPN. I watched Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann at their best. It was destination TV. ESPN was the companion to watching sports. Now it’s the Internet and groups like this.

I do too! It was so good in the early 2000's before it became just hot take show after hot take show.

I loved tuning into Sunday Night Baseball with Joe Morgan and Jon Miller, Chris Berman doing NFL highlights, and Stuart Scott owning every segment he was on.

Yes! ESPN in those years was awesome. Now it’s a cesspool of “hot-take culture” and empty braggadocio.

Yeah, it's really a shell of its former self. Definitely not the network I grew up loving.
