Mike Tirico should not be on TV during the events you have him on because he doesn't have a clue. All he does is read stats that's pumped in his headset. When you have any event you always put someone who is knowledgeable about the event he is doing because he doesn't have a clue. He can't do basketball, football, and for God's sake please get him off golf. All he is a stat man.
ESPN denying a 12 year old boy from receiving the bracket challenge winnings despite his winning bracket ... Booo bad move both espn and best buy!
The new mobile format for espn nfl is just bad. I cannot get to insider info very easily and when I do it sends me to a different article. I pay monthly for insider, if things don't change I will cancel. I have not watched espn on tv for years and now instead of trying to navagate your 1980 style website I will look for another one. Your site was by far the best for football not it just sucks and is truly a waste of my time. This is sad and your site was a big part of my daily research. Why change something that was great into a pile of you know what.
I am so fed up with the Duke " lovefest" that has been continuous since the NCAA basketball tournament started. They have a great coach and a great program, but for goodness sake, stop the adulation, PLEASE! Do all announcers have to be from Duke to work for ESPN? Enough IS enough!
Watching opening night of 2015 baseball season on ESPN 2, and commentators are not even calling the game. They sound like they are sitting in a bar having a private conversation. Awful! the game!
ESPN2...softball game...does the person who runs the TV scoreboard even watch the softball game?...they are doing a terrible job...sometimes there is no scoreboard available...they are slow on pitch count...are often off on position of runners on base...and very slow even when they get it right...it is as if they are not even with the game...or don't care...
I didn't know ESPN was a bigoted network. I was watching Sportsnation and they were covering blooper and other humorous clips, when Michelle Beadle started to make fun of a red head, calling him Ginger like a player intentionally hated his teammate and through a pass off of his face. I would hate to see her say, chink, or N***** on national television and get away with it. She is instigating hate towards a specific group of people and finds it funny. I am disturbed when I see a network support hate so openly.
The new ESPN.com website does not support IE 11 which is the newest version.
NHRA is not on, suppossed to be on 2,00 pm like always never on time. If you don't want to show it, just say so, why NHRA even keeps crawling back to this crap is beyond me. And the nhra wants to know why there rating are down.
As a huge fan of Colin Cowherd and ESPN it was really shocking to hear his insensitive remarks regarding how he liked Oregon because it has white peoples . Then today it was even more insensitive to hear him say that people from Middle East flew planes into the building because they thought God wanted them to do so so they can't get the virgins they are promised . Not only is this insensitive to those who died because of terrorists but it's also inaccurate and not the . Islam isn't the only religion in the middle east , Judaism and Catholicism and Christianity both are in the Middle East and they don't believe that . Muslims don't believe that either . It's a lie and misconception that was put out there by uneducated people . Now the fact Colin used his platform on the radio on the radio to spread misconceptions and lies about Islam and people from the Middle East , people can believe and say well Colin said it .
Tournament center march madness. Technical glitch occurred, causing an inability to participate. There customer service is of no help. They refused to trouble shoot. They need to fix this issue or get a new system
The Masters is the greatest sporting of the year to many fans. The coverage ESPN is providing is lackluster. The commentary is terrific but how to you only show Toger Woods shots from the 15th-18th? Fans should be able to see every shot the greatest golfer of all time makes for every round. Take some hints from the coverage of CBS, NBC, or ABC do for the other majors. You see every shot of all the big time players. This is disrespectful to all of us who love golf because your company is a powerhouse in sports coverage and we have no choice but to watch it. But for once show the actual tournament. The centimental, historical stuff is nice but we do not need two hours of coverage on it. I will appreciate any feedback on the reasons for the coverage. I am not in the television business and do not know the rating system, but I am sure you get great numbers for the Masters. Trust me its not because you do a great job, it's because we have no other choice to watch it elsewhere. Please show more golf, show every shot.
You have taken every big bowl game off of regular television and left us with the crap bowls. Believe it or not there are some people in this country who cannot aford the cable companys outragis rates, but still love watching the bowl games on New Years Day. I guess that the mighty ESPN does not really care about things like that or about the people it hurts. I think that you should go back to the old system and give all of us the chance to watch the big bowl games, But I know that will never happen. All ESPN cares about is the BIG BUCKS, and they don't give a damn about the people who cant afford to pay for cable.
Your half coverage of the NHRA countdown race was interrupted by a nascar race,because of that I was not able to watch the NHRA race to the countdown because someones stupid decision to think that nascar race was more important then the scheduled program.With nascar you only need to watch the last 2 laps to see who takes someone out to win, thats why its lost its fan base. ESPN is getting worse at keeping programing on time. Why, I now need to add at least 30 to 60 mins of record time. Sorry to vent but I was looking forward to the nhra race,not every one is on your time frame.
Watching ESPN on Saturday night around 9 and 10 pm you had a commercial about a dating site for farmers. I was very upset the way you portrayed the American farmer. You portrayed them as being as being ignorant. Farmers have the most important job in this country. If it wasn't for the farmer people wouldn't have food to eat. We should all be thankful for all the hard worker the farmer does. From the mother of an American farmer.
Rece Davis is constantly critical of Clemson football and I feel he lacks class when doing so. It is obvious he has a dislike for Clemson when he does their games and on the BCS final showing, he said their victories were "hollow" and later, they all praised Florida State which basically played the same schedule as Clemson. I am not saying Clemson is a great team, but I do think some commentators can do better than be classless in their comments. ESPN does have some commentators with class but a couple of them could use a session on learning to describe events without being disrespectful to a group of young men that are fighting with all their heart to win and sometimes make mistakes. Could you please tell me where Mr. Davis played his high level of football? I know where most of them played and their resumes but I cannot remember a Rece Davis being a great football player.
I am writing to complain about the past two articles she has written. I have been a customer for many years and her past two articles were the worst I have read. The Ray Lewis article was in extremely poor taste. I decided not to complain even though I was miffed by the article . She painted him as criminal and didn't focus on his: what he means to the city, impact on the nfl charity work, or leadership in the Raven organization.
This past article where she claims ray Lewis's career is over and ravens shouldn't even go to Denver is plan stupid and the why I decided to complain. Twice blatant cheap shot articles, I am of course partial , however lines were crossed and or just dumb articles lacking in validity . I will no longer read her articles and ask ESPN to review these articles better as the last two were trash. Even Bronco fans in the posts thought article was horrid.
Was watching the Berwick rangers v Rangers game on sunday 24th of febuary on espn along with my grandchild and also a young member of my family . From the first minute off this game the chanting and singing from sections off the rangers fans was nothing short off disgraceful it got that bad that even espn commentatiors on more than one occassion had to opoligise about the chants. Ive already made complaint to rangers which no doubt will be swept under the carpet as it has been by most media ill be sending complaint to uefa and fifa as this was tottally over the top sectarian chantting . Now its down to you as the media and was on your football channel the match was on to at least make a statement condeminng these chants surley thats the least that yous can do. Ive supscribbed to espn for a while now and enjoy the sport on it surley you must see these actions off rangers fans as WRONG thanking you david weir
Homophobia is akin to anti-semitism? The Jewish community is well represented in Hollywood, the media etc. Yet to say such a thing is insulting. I think any peoples would find it such. It is more than insulting a non-blacks like Rick Riley to relate the homosexual movement to the Civil Rights movement!! At the very least due to his not being African American- he has no right to do so. I call for a public recant and apology for his blatant ignorance, and for the privileged arrogance of your employee Rick Riley and ESPN.
ESPN's decision to run chainsaw movie commercials during college football games is really sad, low and sickening. I have been up with one of our children for the past two nights with nightmares and I have had several discussions with friends that they have had similar issues from their children seeing this commercial. Aren't we supposed to be promotions sports and especially collegiate sports as something for our kids to aspire towards? There are lots of inappropriate commercials on lots of ESPN's programming but this one is inexcusable. Going on a campaign against your decision and writing a letter to our newspaper and liking all the Facebook comments I have already seen about this. So sad...
I have had enough of blow hard, publicity seeking, egomaniacs like merrill hodge! His outrageous comments about Tim Tebow and others reveals what a small minded person he is! I have just had it with preening, narcisstic, loud mouths that ESPN seems to admire! Hodge likes to be noticed. Well, I hope he gets noticed in the unemployment line! Get him and others like him off the air! His agenda is tiresome! Hodge is dispicable!
I noticed several months ago that if you go to the ESPN Dallas site and say anything bad about Mark Cuban or the Dallas Mavericks that the ESPN police/monitors immediately bash you and delete your posts. As a die hard Dallas Maverick fan, any time I or anyone else on the comments section said something about the Mavericks, our accounts were disabled.
I intentionally asked some negative questions about the Mavericks to make sure that it was not an aberration and sure enough, after about 4 posts, my account was disabled. There was no profanity in the posts, or anything that violated your rules of conduct. Several other people who commented mentioned that they noticed it before that the moderators would disabled any accounts that were negative to Mark Cuban or the Mavericks.
I have purchased an Insider account and I cannot even access those pages because I am not able to get into my account. I am also contacting an attorney and anyone else who will listen that your comments sections are only for positive comments about the teams. If that is so, you should market the site as an advertisement for the Dallas Mavericks instead of a comment section on their team. I
have bought many tickets to Maverick games in the last 10 years and I have a right to voice my opinion on them whether it's negative or positive.
I am so disappointed that every bowl game on ESPN this year has not shown the marching band half time performances. They are an integral part of the college football experience and something I look forward to with each college football game. Each band has approx 200-300 students playing and thousands of fans and families hoping to see them play. I counted 29 commercials during the half time...disgusting! I'm thinking about cancelling my ESPN plan.
Comment made by commentators "Fans deserve to see GOOD FOOTBALL on Monday night" should apologize to not only Seattle and it's fans but the Rams and their fans. There NOTHING wrong with last nights game as a matter it was well played. Badly officiated but well played. Then to follow it with "next weeks game will be GOOD football" insults ALL fans of the game and makes the commentators not only look foolish but show just how ignorant they truly are! It will be comments like this that will eventually make fans stop watching ESPN if they continue to carry Monday night football cause honestly unless your name is John Madden no one cares about your opinion!
I am a subsciber to ESPN mainly for the English Football and I want to complain about comments made by commentator John Champion in the Mansfield Town v Liverpool FA Cup Tie shown live on ESPN on Sunday 6th January 2012.
Luis Suarez scored the second goal for Liverpool under dubious circumstances as the ball hit his hand on its way into the net. When the replay was shown John Champion commented " THAT IS THE WORK OF A CHEAT "
As he is supposed to be an impartial football commentator I think his comment was absolutely discusting! Whether it was or wasnt a deliberate handball it is not for him to basically be judge and jury against Luis Suarez as the officials gave the goal.
Just because Luis Suarez has been in trouble in the past it certainaly doesnt give him the right to make comments like that and is just pure unprofessionalism and damn right slander.
I feel he should be made to apologise on air to Luis Suarez, Liverpool FC and their fans.
I hope you can give me your views on this complaint as I am seriously thinking of cancelling my subscription with ESPN.
How dare you have snoop- the drug guru, appear on your TV show as a commentator!! Great message you display to our country and children.
Let's light up and go on ESPN. NFW
signed- an American Dad.
I am on espn's web site at least an hour per day. I love to read what is on there and make comments at times. For some reason, I can't comment, like, flag or do anything. I've not been notified of a problem and I've sent numberous emails for help. No one will email back What's going on?
A fan
At halftime of the Ohio State-Penn State football game and while reviewing earlier concluded NCAA football games on October 27, 2012, Mr. Holtz referred to the Kent State University football team as the "Kent State fishes" on ESPN after they had just upset #18 Rutgers. As a former Kent State University athlete I was enraged at this unwarranted and misplaced comment from Holtz who is a KSU alumnus and who has been honored by the University and it's athletic department in years past. Quite frankly it is time for this man to be retired because he quite frankly does not know enough about the KSU program and it's comeback to be allowed to speak about the program on national or even local sports coverage television. Whatever benefit he provided to ESPN or for that matter anyone else in years past is now history. His misplaced comments cannot be overlooked any longer.
ESPN's Stuart Scott mentioned that Jay Cutler was "baptized" on an illegal hit that resulted in a concussion on this past Sun. night game. Fellow viewers and I noticed racial and religious references made by Mr. Scott in the past that are really offensive, and make no sense. He should really stop trying to be hip and clever with ebonics and religious insults. If Stuart wants to be offensive that's fine, just don't do it on ESPN.
Just wondering why were going to have to watch a killer on espn (Ray Lewis) What does it take to work for espn? Was wondering are you in management going to have Ray over for dinner with your kids? Just had to vent im amazed how espn will suck up to a killer, but what the heck it was not your kids who he stuck the knife in.
Rob Parkers comments on First take were very out of line and in no way was that remotely close to being sports jornalism. He needs to be fired for his staements he made towards RG3. If he is allowed back onto the show i will no longer support ESPN. As a black person I am very disappointed and ashamed of the comments made by Rob Parker and I hope this matter is taken seriously.
I was watching the NCAAB Wisconsin vs Marquette game on ESPN2 and your commentators made a very unprofessional comment. There was a foul called and fans were not happy and one of the commentators said something to the likes of The rich guys in the front row are complaining.
As a Marquette alumni, I resent the fact that they stereotyped Marquette fans as rich guys. We work hard to get where we are and show a lot of devotion to our basketball team and that comment was just offensive. Please be professional next time!
I am shocked!!!! That you had the nerve to fire Hank Jr. He is an institutation for, country music fans and Monday Night Football fans!!!! Does he not have the same rights as the rest of us...to say what he thinks. Yes he does have a flair for words!!!. But take a good look at Just how many ethics groups poke fun at us or just threaten. Us individually or as a nation...so are you saying that's OK for the all minorities to do?...get a grip ..we true Americans say just what we think.and we belive in our country...( get your heads out of the sand)and remember we are a great nation..where freedon of speech is our god given right!!!!
Prior to the 1998 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament, few people would have ever heard of a smallish Lutheran school in Northwest Indiana. But when Bryce Drew made "The Shot" that beat Ole Miss, Valparaiso University was put on the college basketball map. It must have been a big deal. You show The Shot and other assorted pictures of the Drew clan all the time, including tonight's game against Wisconsin/ Green Bay. And I appreciate that. So does every sports fan in the world who roots for David over Goliath. I almost never happens. But when it does, it is SOOO Sweet. So, the problem: after all these years, some of your announcers continue to mispronounce the name of the school. (and the City where it is located). It is Val-Pah-Ray-So. Not Val-Pah-Rai-So. Ray as in X-Ray, The Rai place is in Chile. Ray is USA.
Have a complaint about Cricket World Cup 2015 - Subscription. I have subscribed for World Cup 2015 and paid $99.ESPN says I can watch only one match at a time. There are two matches in a day and I was told I cannot watch two matches on two laptops.This is cheating because we paid for 49 matches we will end up watching maybe 26. In past where ever I subscribed for Cricket World Cup I was allowed to watch multiple matches.
Tired of seeing 30 minutes of interviews during Australian open tennis when there is actual tennis being played. No one cares about the interviews, bios, or pre-match comments. Just show the tennis. By the way, get those stupid hats off the air ESPN.
Your announcers on the ESPNU Ar/tn are way way to partial to Tenn, if they can't call it without all that crap, then they should just shut up []{}#%^*+£>~~|\__ just not happy with it and you should know better , thanks in advance for letting me vent! WPS!!!!
why can i not watch SF vs. LAD? do i really need to see another Sportscenter? don’t say you have the game if you don’t have the game on. i could be watching this on my local channel if you didn’t have the coverage. i guess it’s just that important to run the same sports stories again and again and again… you do know changing the presenter doesn’t change the story right? put the game on please…
Tonight after the AFC championship game Shannon Sharpe ripped on Bill Belichick on CBS. After Belichick declined a post game interview, Shannon was so upset that he went on a mild rant calling Belickick’s actions “unacceptable”. Sharpe talked about what it was like to be a gracious loser, and called Bill a poor sport. I’m not sure CBS is the place for that kind of a rant, especially one about a coach’s “optional” interview.
Kids enjoy playing sports, and therfore watching sports. ESPN runs inappropriate advertisements. Parents are forced to either allow their children to see these ads, or, not allow them to watch sports. For example, during the Orange Bowl game, at 9:15 p.m., ESPN runs an ad for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. The ad concludes with a young woman with a chaisaw held against her neck, about to get her head chopped off. Nice job ESPN.
Please ask your commentators to stop using all of the SEC homerisms “SEC Speed”, “SEC Yards”, etc, etc. Also, when an SEC team loses a bowl game, be sure to give the other team credit instead of saying that they SEC School wasn’t taking the game seriously.
Kirk Herbstreit basically said that Florida didn’t take Louisville seriously, thus the reason for the loss. I don’t know if you realize it or not, but ESPN is alienating the fans of other conferences by hammering us with the SEC propaganda.
Is Beth Mowins married? I have heard a lot of buzz about relationships and her husband, but never see any proof of this online. Of course her personal life is her own business, I’m just curious about it if anyone has heard one way or another. I have always enjoyed listening to her online, don’t have any problems with her announcing or style of commentary. I think ESPN has a great thing going. Lots of people say they don’t like Beth Mowins voice or think she is annoying, I disagree. She is a great college sports personality, I even follow her on Twitter most of the time during games.
I have filed a complaint against hoge and would like to know what standards ESPN has in place for relaying complaints. I would like to say hoge is egotistical jerk looking for publicity, but that seems to be the norm for ESPN. I will continue watching live events but will NOT watch other ESPN programs. hoge is disgusting. His rants on Vince Young were mean outrageous and borderline racist. His slant on Tebow was classless. But apparently employment of loud mouthed self centered analysts is approved by ESPN. hoge, Slereth, Edwards, and some others, seem to think that centering attention on themselves is what viewers like. The “Hey, look at me” attitude is not appreciated by this viewer. But possibly the humble viewer is an afterthought. Thank you for your patience and hopefully these idiots will be reined in.
I have been stewing about sending a letter ever sinse it happened but after coach Knight showed his obvious dislike of the Cats i was compelled to at least vent about them both. If ESPN chooses to send these FORMER coaches out to represent them as analyst they need to instruct them to keep their bias attitudes to themselves and do what they are being paid to do. I know everyone has their teams they favor over all others but lets give credit where credit is due as in a past interview.
COACH KNIGHT refused to acknowledge the NCAA leading shot blocker as a candidate for “poy” or even mention the cats as a favotite to win the national title from their performance to ths point.As for Digger i found it to be extremely classless and bias for him to repremand fans of the traveling road team , the UK WILDCATS at the COLLEGE GAME DAY coverage in Nashville . All other representatives especially Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis are exceptional given that they played at schools know to have extreme prejudice against the cats.
Thanks for allowing me this venting time. GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that Historically Black College and University’s (HBCU’s)Football games are never given any priority on Saturdays in regard to games which are televised? Every Saturday, when its time for college football, I search far and wide looking for an HBCU football game. If and when I find one, its on tape delay.Earlier in the season, there were a few HBCU games on Thursday nights, now that is even nonexistent. HBCU’s have sent many athletes to the professional ranks; it is only fair that these young men are provided the same exposure an opportunities as football players in Division One colleges and universities.
Secondly, when the game is televised, there is usually one camera at the game. Everything about the game is an afterthought. There are very few fan shots, and the halftime coverage is about Division One programs(top ten). On Saturday, Division One schools campus and students(classroom shots) are shown throughout the broadcast. It appears to be a double standard when it comes to HBCU football games.If one of those players did something illegal, I can assure you it will make Sportscenter.Even the playoff games are not given any priority.
I pay good money for my Direct TV programming;therefore, every division should be represented equally. ESPN gives more coverage to skateboarding and bicycling than HBCU Football. I wonder why… just look at the color of the participants. Unless we complain at the inequities and hold “THE MAN” reponsible, then nothing will ever change. ESPN should be respectful to all of its fan base regardless of culture, division or type of program.
Albert Pujols does something that hasn’t been done in 34 years and Michigan St/Wisconsin is your lead story…REALLY! A 3 home run performance loses top billing for a hail mary. Oh wait a minute; the highly touted east coast biased Yankees and RedSox are not playing. I am done wasting my time trying to find solid coverage on ESPN. By the way, I live in Michigan and I am not a state fan or a wolverine fan. I am a baseball fan who enjoys the fall classic no matter who is playing and someone who enjoys history being made.
Dear ESPN, I am not a Hank Williams, Jr. fan, but your decision to remove him from the Monday Night Football leadin is ridiculous. The man spoke his opinion and he did not call anyone Hitler, he used the analogy as a comparison. It is too bad you are willfully ignorant in comparisons and will remove him from your programming. I have decided I will remove Monday Night Football from my programming as well. We are still a country that honors freedom of speech, but apparently you don’t have the guts to do so. I am extremely disappointed in you and your decision. Keep your stupid game, I can find something else better to do.
I am an avid Monday Night Football fan. I enjoy Hank Williams Jr. starting the show off. It was EXTREMELY stupid and wrong, wrong, wrong to take it off last night just because he voiced his opinion. If he had said something about the tea party nothing would have been done. I will not buy a thing that is advertised on ESPN if it happens again. That is what America is all about! Freedom of speech. Hank Williams is perfectly entitled to compare President Obama to Hitler just as I am perfectly entitled to believe that Williams received no musical talent from his father. It would be okay if he criticized two-term President George W. Bush though. Go figure. The double standard continues.
I am sick and tired of your ESPN commentators running down the Arkansas Razorbacks! We do deserve better than Mark May and the likes!!! Think of hiring someone from the SEC to commentate the games instead of someone from a lesser conference! WOO PIG SOOIE – ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS! Why cant the ESPN commentators shut up? or at least stop saying stupid and annoying comments? I really want to be able to mute the commentators but be able to listen to the sound of the game. they keep on saying things that are obvious, repetitive, ignorant, stupid, or just straight up annoying.
I’m sitting here hoping that the Syracuse Villanova game does not go into overtime. If it does it will be the third time I have not been able to watch the start for games played by Kansas University on ESPN. I know the East provides a larger market but can’t you at least give us a glimpse of the start or a split screen so we can follow the game we tuned in to see? Saturday we were 12 minutes into the first quarter before we got anything but a strip giving the score. Give us a break ESPN. Rock Chalk. Chuck.
Have feedback for ESPN?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
