ESPN Plus tech support is an endless pit that they just waste your time enough until you hangup. I’ve had to call back every month for 6 months straight for an issue that each time they have promised me they’ve fixed but actually just given me a one month complimentary trial.

I’ve been lied to nonstop. I’ve even been told by other tech support agents that someone previous to them has lied.

Beth Mowins play by play. I’m watching South Carolina and Maryland NCAA women’s basketball game on ESPN and once again Beth Mowins is on the air announcing a game. It’s bad enough to hear her announce NCAA football games but she is just as bad announcing basketball games.

She has the most annoying voice to listen to announcing play by play. She does have knowledge I’ll give her that but ESPN is scraping the bottom of the barrel by using her. I can’t believe she is still being allowed to announce games.

There has to be a better place for her in sports, maybe on the floor interviewing athletes. Wish I could say more except to sum it by saying she is the worst. Please do better choosing your announcers in the future especially when we get into the playoffs. Thanks for listening.

Canceling Keyshawn, JWill and Max is awful. So many people enjoyed that show. I will NOT watch any more espn shows!! they were awesome. What was on this morning was not about what sports fans want to hear especially during March madness.

You get rid of all good things.

Can't watch this network anymore. If it weren't for live sports, would never turn on, and at least I have figured out a way to watch those live sports without giving them or the cable companies a dime. What a bunch of cucks having a Lia (that is man) Thomas for a woman's month segment.

How do any biological female employees at ESPN not walk out of there or at least say something. This woke crap is ruining Disney and all its brands, including ESPN. Used to watch religiously, but sadly there is nobody left there worth watching.

Would be 0 stars if I could.

All I wanted to say is that it was so refreshing to watch a night of MMA and Boxing—anything but Basketball and the other crrap sorts you highlight that no one wants to see. It’s impossible to send a positive comment.

You are so defensive and such a crap network that you make it impossible to even accept a positive comment. , you have nothing to offer to real AMERICANS.

There is a problem with ESPN audio for the NCAA women’s games being broadcast from Seattle. Could barely hear the announcers during the Iowa vs Colorado on Friday evening and from comments we have seen this is a broadcast problem.

we are tuned in to the U Conn game now and the problem persists. Get your engineers to work to fix this control room problem.

Just finished watching the MD-Notre Dame women’s basketball game in NCAA tourney. The play by play announcers were the worse I ever heard, and I watch a LOT of sports. They missed reporting half the plays, such as fouls - kind and who, and other important details of the game being played.

Instead they CONSTANTLY talked about other games in the tournament, other teams, and other players. Disgusting, and a total diss on these two teams. It would have been better without the sound.

What is the point of having 3 female commentators: namely Pam Ward, Stephanie White & Holly Rowe, babbling quietly in the background of the NCAA Women's BB Sweet Sixteen if they are NOT going to do a play-by-play? NO comments whatsoever about WHO fouled WHO, what the foul call was, NOTHING. Can't hear the courts announcer. All the commentators talk about is interviews with players, their own opinions. Do they get PAID to do that???

Think I'll mute ESPN and turn on my radio. Thanks for listening !

What ESPN chooses to show on SportsCenter is not what the viewing public desires. The results of NCAA wrestling and the World Baseball Classic are of way more interest than women’s basketball, other than South Carolina. The bulk of your audience is men.

Because you give equal credence to sports with very little interest, it just leads people to switch to another channel.

I used to enjoy Mike Greenbergs' show.

However, recently, as in over the course of the past year, his show has become crap. It is basically a fan show for him and he drags all his excellent supporting cast down with him. You can see it their eyes, as they roll them and make stupid little jokes about covering the same stories every day.

Dallas Cowboys, Tom Brady (till he retired), Aaron Rogers and the Lakers dominate the the show every day, despite being average teams at best.

However, Thursday, the 16th, just took the cake. Greenberg spent the first 50 minutes of his show talking about Rogers coming to the Jets. I personally watched about 1 minutes before I realized this was going nowhere and useless speculation of his favite team and getting Rogers.

Greenberg doesn't even pretend that…

Seems like ESPN is schooling their announcers to babblespeak and dis their fellow announcer rather than paying attention to the game on the court. So very obvious in the Michigan- Toledo game. So bad that I actually muted the broadcast.

Those announcer clowns were obviously schooled in the Bull Walton school of broadcast babbleapeak as they were almost as bad and as disconcerting to the game as is Walton! So bad! ’

Why do you continue to put Bill Walton on NCAA PAC 12 men's basketball telecasts? I appreciate good color comentary from experts, but not one with such an ego who takes over the telecast and makes nonsensecal drug-induced diatribes that have nothing to do with the game.

He is a joke and does not appropriately represent ESPN, or any other serious sports network. When asked, other commentators ridicule him. I no longer view the telecasts once I discover he is at the game. I initially tried muting and just watched the action without commentary.

I have given that up since the camera seems to focus on him all too often. So, I no longer watch ESPN when he is commentating and simply check the score after the game. ESPN has some great broadcast teams who bring their expertise and explanations to…

I am watching the AA tournament and the announcers have been completely one sided in their commentary about the Wichita State Shockers; in addition they made a rude comment about their masco as being a monster in the closet! This kind of blatant favoritism is in poor taste which I ends a disadvantage to the players future and college sportsmanship! Hope you do the right thing and encourage announcers to improve their play by play calls .

Can you please stop forcing me to hear about the Lakers to lead off every one of your programs? They stink. There are 20 NBA teams better than them. They are literally one of the worst NBA teams in the league at this point.

I just heard Randy Scott denigrate women’s basketball on ESPN Sportscenter, Sunday, 02/19/23, at 8:11AM Eastern. ” There was no mistaking the intent of this misogynistic, male domination comment. This was no off the cuff comment that can be overlooked.

It was filled with contempt and its intent was unmistakeable. He has no place on ESPN.

I am so sick and tired of how you treat me on fantasy baseball and football games. You slow the draft way down, hoping I will leave. If you don't won't anybody to play, dont off this crap. Please speed the draft up with your fake bot teams.

If not I will be suing all of you for a lot of money. I will be suing espn for fraud and stress. I know they are not over this mess, but their name is all over it. I am also going to sue Walt Disney.

Speed the draft up, if not I am going to all of you. Stop treating me like s hit you sob.

I have been blacked out of the New York market NHL games since Jan 1, however I live in Newark, Delaware, 140 miles away. I have contacted ESPN several time to address the situation. Nothing has worked, I was told they would get back to me over the NHL All Star break, I have received no response.

I have spent 4+ hours with tech support. I am paying a monthly fee, but not receiving the services promised, In all fairness, I should be awarded a credit or refund.

ESPN's over-coverage of the Dallas Cowboys is sending me to watch Fox Sports, NFL Network, CBS Sports.

I used to enjoy Get Up and First Take, but the daily coverage of the Cowboys, even during the week before the Super Bowl when there is so much other news with regard to other teams and players ... It's just too much.

I'm a longtime football fan, and you are driving me away. Give me the Niners and the Raiders -- give me news and events around the league, and I will watch and be grateful.

But the devotional focus on the Cowboys is turning me into a hater, a former watcher of ESPN.

I have been a long term fan of greenie and and the show get up. Why do we spend so much time on the cowboys? They arenot America's team. The show has become extremely repetitive with little news were the sports information it's it's all about Aaron Rodgers Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Cowboys with Dak Prescott. Also greenie should always host the show most of the other hosts are boring. I often wonder why you don't cover hot college sports Baseball hockey tennis golf .

ESPN has lost me as a viewer. I’m 60 years and have been a sports fan all of my life. I’ll continue to watch games on your networks but none of your idiotic shows. Your network has become the black and women’s network.

You’ve let some quality people go and kept some that should have been shown the door. You have a woman doing commentary on MLB and she has never played a pitch of MLB. Doris Burke does a great job but she has played the game.

Anyway, your network should be blown up and started over.

During the entire Florida Stste vs Louisville basketball game today, the announcers gave a blow by blow description of the Cardinals play, but barely commented on the Seminoles. This was an important game for both teams and I finally watched with the sound turned off. I understand a former player wanting to see his alma mater get back on top, but he should have called the game for both teams.

I hope ESPN can do a better job keeping the winner of the Australian Men's final from being posted at the bottom of the screen all during the match. Unfortunately,the Women's match results were plastered to the screen, ruining the pleasure of many who tuned in expecting to watch the match like it was a live event instead of a replay.

I wonder why you all don't tell Chris Canty, that proper English would be to say "Held" instead of "Hold" when he talks about something someone could do! He should only be saying hold when talking about something someone is doing, not what they could do! It makes my skin crawl when I hear Chris frequently misuse the word "Hold"!

Your coverage of the Australian Open Tennis is absolutely horrible. MAYBE 3 hours taped coverage during the day. you only have it on for 4-5 hours. Total BS. WHY take it on if you are going to do a half ass job?

Give it back to TBS!!!! I shouldn't have to subscribe to the Tennis Channel etc. to watch entire matches from the major tournaments. They should be on regular TV. Do better. It's not all about football, college ball. Sheesh. You suck!
