Only large market teams shiwn

Detroit Tigers are first team to 30 wins and yet the only coverage as of late is that great Boston catch. I am asking myself why I even watch anymore.

My city of Detroit gets zero coverage. Goodbye

It's free with my spectrum account, so I have no complaints yet.

First time watching it, and watching NFL live draft. Seems like a winner to me so far. When the NFL season starts, I hope they have a lot of Dallas Cowboys football games on!

Dismay at a program being removed after 23 years!

To Whom It May Concern,

I do hope a REAL person reads this. I am dismayed that the show AROUND THE HORN will be cancelled .

I have watched that and PARDON THE INTERRUPTION back-to-back for decades after a very long day at work!! Tony Reali, the host, is in his prime and is amazing and the guest panelists are great. In fact, most of the guests have a highly decorated background in journalism and are well educated and know their sports! This is a real mistake by ESPN.

Most of the newer, younger sports commentator shows suck! All analytics and poor insight into the sports world.

I could understand if this was an unpopular show-it's not!!! It's NOT broke-why fix ??!!!

Shame on the ESPN powers-that-be for a foolish, shortsighted decision!!

NHL Playoff Game Boxscore SOG

Please add the shots on goal counter like every other televised network does. It's a small improvement to the current display you have with just the score.

Cons:
  • Lazy simple boxscore like we in 2000

Preferred solution: Add the shots on goal for playoff hockey games

Limited coverage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

To much Los Angeles, New York and way to much NFL draft. Nothing but predictions and opinions.

The coverage of The Dodgers and Yankees compared to the rest of MLB is a disgrace. The NFL draft is getting way to much attention.

Nothing but hours of guessing and total *** from alleged experts. BORING AS ***

I am trying to watch the F1 live race and I can't because it keeps telling me I need a TV provider. I used to be able to watch the live races with no problem and now I can't.

I have the Disney bundle and no TV provider. Please tell me why this is happening?

Severely limited access to NHL playoff games

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Access to NHL games is terribly limited and/or you need a tv provider. This is not properly disclosed when signing up.

Promotional materials imply access to plenty of non blackout games and playoffs; neither is true. Shop around for an alternate solution and don't waste your money.
