Why did u dis the Detroit Lions 2nd pick in the second round draft
ESPN customers are primarily frustrated with announcer quality, citing excessive talking, bias, and failure to focus on game action. Technical issues including wrong channel information, app problems, and poor camera work are widespread. A significant portion of complaints involve politics being injected into sports coverage and inappropriate gender-related commentary.

Why did u dis the Detroit Lions 2nd pick in the second round draft
Dear folks and deciders at ESPN,
while I love your NBA coverage with the always entertaining and insight sharing crew Mike Breen and the wonderful Coaching-Duo Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, I have to admit that I am more than disappointed with your decision, for whatever arbitral reasons, to put Kobe Bryant‘s Detail on your exclusive Platform ESPN+ to ostracize fanatics of the Game outside your beloved land of the FREE and home of the brave.
If it wasn‘t for a lovely and truly brave person on YouTube that put out some of the Videos of the first season in 2018, which were taken down quite quickly, as well as only a handful of ads, quite a few people would have never even heard of it.
I worked as an Analyst in Soccer at the biggest Club in Germany and one of the most successful ones in…
Your supposed to have the Phillies on. But you some stupid interview with some stupid guy that can't speak English.this is why I don't watch your stupid channel anymore
Announcers of Rockets/Jazz games are horrible and so obviously bias. We don’t need them to count down how many shots Harden misses. She is probably the worst announcer I ever heard.
Get the BIMBO'S off of MEN'S SPORTS. NO MAN in his right mind wants to hear the opinion of a dumb little girl, who's never even caught a pass in her entire life, give her opinion about if she thinks it was a good catch or not. She CAN'T RELATE !
She's never played at the INTENSITY of MEN and has absolutely NO CLUE the level MEN play at. If you all want your ratings to continue to FALL, then keep letting completely LOST little girls comment on MEN'S sports. Especially when there is 3 or 4 ex-players or coaches of the NFL or NBA and ONE DUMB ASS BIMBO who's never even bounced a basketball DEBATING or CONTRADICTING what PRO-PLAYER or Coaches have to say. It's a fn JOKE.
Let them report on women's volleyball, or something. ANYTHING but MEN'S SPORTS ! Men don't give a RATS ASS what the dumb…
ESPN + requires a subscription fee but they only show portions of the events supposedly offered on the site. They send other portions of the program to ESPN watch making it more difficult to view the entire program. They also have decided to now air certain boxing programs under a pay per view format that we were lead to believe would be offered inside of ESPN +.
In short you guys really suck when it comes to boxing broadcasting!!
If Denver does not make it to the finals your announcer's will have a heart attack. This is pathetic. What are they all from Denver? It's really a joke. I live in Tennessee and the bias in this game is unreal.
I have no complaint about the content nor service.
However, I don't understand how Stephen A. Smith can continue to be so rude and arrogant towards everybody - all the time! I appreciate his knowledge and debate skills, but his constant bragging and whining and "he's always right and everyone else is ALWAYS wrong attitude", is causing me to consider stop watching First Take.
Today, his constant whining about how his vacation was disrupted because of the Magic Johnson story was way over the top. He's a professional, and is paid handsomely. Can't someone in ESPN management speak to him about his behavior? I'm sure that I am not the only viewer who feels this way.
Will you please instruct the gentlemen announcing the Masters golf tournament to unbutton their sport coats while seated They are meant to be buttoned while standing. Surely someone there knows this
Thank you and I'll be watching for the change
I have a complaint that involves sports broadcasting. Mainly Tiger baseball. I tune in to watch baseball because it is, or should I say use to be a relaxing enjoyable time for me. It seems that who ever does the broadcasting takes away from the game by a steady stream of chatter.
I can appreciate an occasional comment or description of the play or players but I feel it has gotten to be all about the product in the booth and less about the product on the field. Imagine going to a movie and having three people talking constantly about the movie,telling you all about what you have just seen and giving you the complete history and life experience of each actor.
They out talk each other by showing you how many movie stars they met and their lifetime experience with that person. It is annoying…
I wish that the ESPN would get off the University of Kentucky's back especially John Calapari. The sports announcers with ESPN stink and most are ACC biased. The comments and picks that these announcers make are completely in left field for the most part.
Kentucky's loss to Auburn was a bad loss to a good team. You very seldom beat a good basketball team three games in any given year especially without one of their best players not playing, Auburn not only beat Kentucky but Kansas and
North Carolina as well in their last 3 games but all you could hear from the announcers early on was likelihood of three ACC teams were going to be in the Final Four. Well they aren't! With Three of the No.
1 recuirting picks Duke didn't make it, Auburn beat North Carolina just like Kentucky had beaten…
You suck espn ...with all the hype for duke and Zion ....they are not the only college team out there...makes me sick to my stomach....lost my respect for you ..hope you lose a lot of supporters over this bs !!! Hope you crash and burn !!!!!
unable to watch that i paid for espn plus extremely unfriendly site.
Prior to the elte 8 broadcast you braodcast infomation about the teams players. Yet many times you mentioned u of tennessee they were eliminated a couple days ago. Texas Tech is going to the final 4 yet hardly a mention.
Who in corporate is a tennesee fan? espn on their knees as buttchugger u. Check out you for butchutter u. For real.
I appreciate that we can watch women’s march madness on ESPN, but listening to blabber rather than calling what is happening on the court is so annoying. When there is a call on the floor, it would be helpful to have information on what is happening in the game, rather than an ongoing discussion on new diabetes monitoring system.
It is good for diabetics to have the system, a mention could send me to google for more information. Is the ESPN expectation of announcers that they should continously chatter? We love basketball, but hate to have to mute the sound rather than face the irritation of endless, pointless commentary that has little to do with what is happening on the court.
It is refreshing to find an announcer who recounts plays and doesn’t feel the need to fill every second with…
Keith Blabbermouth goes on a rant about someone shooting a white turkey and he wants everyone to make the hunter's life a living hell. I am only one person but as long as that egotistical blow hard is on your staff ESPN will not be shown on any of our televisions.
My complaint concerns a comment a reporter made on ESPN's "Around the Horn" show on March 26. 2019.
She tells the audience that everyone is light years behind the times if they do not approve of sodomy, which is one man sticking his penis up another man's rectum. Does she also approve of a man sodomizing a woman as well? She needs serious help.
Why does ESPN allow Tony Realli who hosts Around the Horn to wear the same clothing every day of the week.? Hope he washes them out nightly
What do you have against Notre Dame? You switch broadcasting when ND is winning, especially on Women's Basketball. When UCONN is killing their opponent, you broadcast the complete game. What's with that?
I was just watching NFL Live, and you need to do something about the way Josina Anderson dresses ! Her thigh shows all the way uo with those slits in her dress. You need to stop it .
i just wanted to make a suggestion and it is such a pain in the ass to just find a place to make a comment or an idea to improve your site but it is impossible to figure out a way just to send it to you..
so after all the frustration... when you are looking at the scores at any sport u are interested in, I would like to suggest that you provide a way to slide the scores or change the order listed. so that the ones you are interested in you can organize it so that they are together.
such a simple idea but now I feel stupid to bring it up after all the pain in the ass it was to find the place just to say it..
thank you for your time
,Tn vs Auburn. mostly about the past,and his theory of success , of which most runs together along with one cliche after the other. Sadly you can only understand every other word. Move over Dick,,,,!
get rid of dick vitale what good does he do he is so annoying,love to see somebody take him by the collar and escort him out of the building,i know there are a lot of complaints about him
What happened to my College game pass? It looks completely different and totally confusing. It's black and white, double image and faded. I want my original one back. PLEASE!
Get rid of Dick Vital. He needs to learn his audience. You don't sit and spend your time praising the rival of the teams playing. It make you want to turn off the TV
Get Dan Dakich off tv. Zero as a coach and zero as a broadcaster.
To whom it may concern: Please bring back Will Buxton to F1 on ESPN. His on-track live commentary with a mobile camera before each race is excellent. He is never boring, like some of the people on the F1 broadcast ( no names). He is the face of the new Formula 1 on ESPN. You humans at ESPN should know that. He is dynamic, energetic, and brings a realism to F1 coverage that no one else does.
Thank You, and GOD Bless you all.
second complaint about west coast espn announcer, bill Walton. bill Walton never presents what is happening on the basketball court, he is still talking about himself, what he has done, and about other teams and what other teams are possibly going to do.
have talked with other people and they also say that bill Walton is absolutely the worst announcer that espn has on the payroll. time to get rid of him, as there are plenty other good announcers that can follow the game they are announcing.
I an trying to see my CONF. USA track feed. I am lucky to see maybe 5 min. Of the total airtime right now. I am paying for this program. What the He'll are you guys doing over there.
1) your complaint process is not user friendly.
2) College basketball with commentary by Dick Vitale has become extremely annoying. He talks about anything but the game in front of him as compared to Jay Bilas who is excellent. Coach him or fire him; he has become a liability. My friends and I who watch now mute the broadcast.
Why do you people not show the NASCAR race results on your scroller ? My wife and I are watching the Tennessee/Ketuncky game -- and all you show is the same thing over and over. No NASCAR results from the Truck race, nor the Xfinity race ? WHY ??
Not only do you preempt the start of the next programming schedule (KU vs WV game 2/16/2019) to finish the previous game that ran over the time slot, but you also cutoff the end of the KU vs WV game to show Duke preparing to play. This is really cutting the Kansas area out of the picture twice!
Why do you do that? It's a disgrace the way you treat the local customer viewers in my area. I would really like to hear your reasoning for the lack of consistency in your lousy handling of game endings and game beginnings.
I HATE Bill Walton. A total jackass. Way too dramatic. Has the irritating habit of comparing college players to old NBA greats. Thinks he's smart and funny. He's a total JACK ASS! I can't watch a game he announces. GET RID OF THIS FOOL! HE'S A TOTAL ASS!
Kevin Durant is right in his assessment of media coverage. He just didn't go far enough. at the end of the day, you have no job if not for sports. But who do you answer too except your consciences. Yes, people want to know all kinds of stuff that isn't their business. Stuff that distracts athletes.
Let the man play ball. Reporters make a living and rep by one upping each other. How is it not annoying to have to answer the same question over an over again? You're all blustering for a scoop. That's how you make a living. Fine.
KD lives in a world of what have you done for me lately. He needs to stay focused on the real. Titillating as our speculations may be, they are not the bottom-line. What's wrong with an athlete asking for a break?
Isn't that the gist of his complaint? Certainly an…
Commentators are opinionated in their coverage of sports teams and biais remarks negative statements make it hard to enjoy any game!
Max Kellerman went on a rant today about how blacks in the projects on probation get rearrested for just being in the vicinity of a gun or drugs. How does he know this? What projects does he live in or hang around where he's seen this happen?
There has to be probable cause, the accused can get attorney, the states attorney has to agree with case to prosecute, case can be taken to judge or jury for decision. Kellerman made it sound like cops can just arrest whoever they want and affect the outcome, just doesn't happen!
He and others on your network need to stick to sports and lay off the liberal social causes. I and people I know watch you less and less cause of this nonsense. Kellerman is an ass!
when is espn going to get rid of a couple of their announcers? on the west coast, you have bill walton who cannot keep into the game and just talks about himself and what he has done, books he has read, bikes he has rode and on and on.
on scale of 1 to 10, he might be 2. on the east coast, you have dickie v. who is living on his brothers accomplishments. as for announcing, he is never in the game and goes on and on about nothing.
he is way past his time. there are so many good announcers out there that can do way better than dickie v. cant understand him half the time, and oh baby oh baby is getting real old. both these announcers are being overpaid and the audience dont really care for them. thank you for listening.
Coverage of the Duke vs Virginia men's basketball was THE MOST ONE-SIDED I have ever seen, in favor of Duke.
Why show a game with a commentator like Dick Vitale. Trying to watch Kentucky vs Auburn. Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley show is what it is. Nothing being said about the game. The other Commentator (don't know his name) is trying to do his job.

Watching 1/2 the screen. Can’t stand seeing 4 guys in suits chattering instead of the full screen game. Unbelievable
we cannot concentrate on the game for the sports casters taking up the screen and talking over the game. Please get them off to national championship game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Booger McFarland ruins Monday Night football. We watch with sound off. Get him out of cat bird seat.
I wanted to drop a complaint about ESPN+. While this subscription service is not terribly expensive at $60 per year the whole idea smacks of overly greedy suits. There's no reason to have an up-charge on top of the already egregiously expensive amounts charged for Cable TV service to have 6-7 ESPN channels of various flavors in my lineup.
Out of which I may occasionally watch 2 of. I'm sure the Cable TV providers are already paying ESPN a good chunk to have the ESPN networks included in their packages. Enough is enough for this viewer. The advertising revenue that ESPN rakes in from companies that want to be on their network should be enough.
I won't even mention how badly the ESPN+ app functions. I'm done with you and your blatant greed.
Great article on The Undefeated about the rise of Black Quarterbacks! Are you serious first of all this all about black and white on ESPN is disgusting you want people to be civil but you push the controversy. Then ESPN show there pictures Murray for Oklahoma he is mixed not just "black" and then Tua of Alabama man that dude is far from "black" last time I knew he was Somoian.
Patrick Mahomes to isn't just black hi Mom looks pretty white to me!
Also of course the writer is black and he has no clue the rise of a black quarterback again is a terrible topic and racists. Wasn't this a topic when Russell Wilson was a rookie? This article should be pulled from The Undisputed and ESPN should fire William C.
Rhoden we dont need is Black live matters on ESPN. Scott Van Pelt at Midnight is the…
Your split screen/multi screen broadcasting of the Rose Bowl & Sugsr Bowl SUCKS!!!!! Please QUIT and go back to a single screen. Keep this up & it’s GOOD-BY ESPN for this household!!!!
Trying to watch Sugar Bowl and video kept going off and on, just the game never the commercials, what the devil is going on
I did not pay for a 60 inch tv to watch 4 screens during the bowl games. It SUCKS..
You took the joy of watching the ncaa football playoffs by putting up the split screen.
With five shots on the screen at once it is hard to watch. Take 4 of them off.
I am watching the Cotton Bowl and your tv display is horrible. Everyone I talk to says the same thing. You have split the screen in four different pictures, No one wants to watch the coaches stand on the sidelines for one thing.
We buy big screen tvs to have you cut the screen size to a fourth of the total screen?
