That's my problem with the company. They have the potential and the capital to do so many things well yet, they just look at data and churn out crap like "First Take." Sportscenter used to be great, it's not anymore it's just engrained into the fabric of cable television and it's just on in the background for many people. It's not good work anymore.
Much of the productions they do now are just not well done, Window dressing... then you see the 30 for 30's and go... oh, yeah I remember when ESPN used to do really good stuff.
The majority of their talking head shows are unwatchable now, people playing caricatures of themselves, then they underplay many of the better talents they have for people who have built their careers on nonsense.
There are a lot of super talented people at that company behind the scenes, and it's just wasted.
They were the only option for so long they took the market share and then stopped caring except for printing money.
