WTF were the ESPN execs thinking when they green-lighted this **** show?

Could they find two less appealing dudes to try and connect with an audience of SEC fans?

ESPN/SEC network is trying to build audience among younger millenial and gen z viewers. Boomers like us are not their target sudience

I have given a try a few times on and off. It’s just bad TV. I hope the realize it as well. It can’t possibly be getting enough ratings to justify staying on or with these 2.

They look like they should be hosting a show on The Dungeons and Dragons Channel.

😂😂 I have watched the show a couple times and don’t mind them. This is hilarious though.

FWIW, with nerd/geek culture taking over the world the way it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some guys on the team playing D&D.

They're whiffing at that, too.

I know basically nobody that watches ESPN's talking heads outside of actual games anymore. I've been saying it for the last decade- if they got back into showing sports during the day (remember stuff like Pro Beach Hockey, etc.?) they'd probably see their outlook improve. I don't care about watching Stephen A. Smith shove another idiotic opinion down my throat, nor do I care to watch whatever sports-ignorant suit or bimbo they throw behind the desk tell me what I should care about in sports (or, even more often lately, not in sports).

The problem is you have washed up 60+ year old Disney executives trying to force what they perceive as "cool" from inside their tiny little disconnected bubble of a life.

I just can't believe this is the best they can do. I was so excited back when I first heard that there was going to be a whole network dedicated solely to covering the SEC. The reality has been very disappointing.

I guarantee you there is. Its not taboo anymore to be a “nerd” and be an athlete. I mean look at the biggest movies now…almost always based on comic books.
It’s really interesting how quickly “nerd” culture has become main stream.

Maybe they’ll get the axe too along with the massive layoffs/cuts at Disney coming soon. But I agree…it IS hard to imagine a ratings release that justifies most of the ESPN programming.

I used to watch ESPN religiously,but now that they are more concerned withhow an athlete dresses or what his cartoon self does(ala National Enquirer or Star)I do not turn the channel to them unless Tenn.is playing onSEC netwoek or the deuce /ESPN.A waste of time.

When it was Spears and McElroy, it was hands down the best sports discussion show out there. I watched every week, recorded it if I could.

When they brought the new guys in I absolutely hated it and quit watching, but I will say, they’ve grown on me a bit after 2 years. They’re not bad, you just have to give them a while.

Mac and Spears will never be replicated though. They were excellent.

I knew it was in trouble when they decided to feature PAWL and his merry men and women. I think they should have had a show that rotated daily through the 14 teams with a cast approved by each school.

Terrible. Also the show with two females. Sorry can’t watch. Fire away. I don’t give a damn.
