What is ESPN Now?

What is ESPN Now?
« on: September 22, 2015, 12:26:43 PM »
I haven't really watched ESPN since they started airing more trolls than highlights. I loved ESPN back in the 90s when it was funny one liners accompanying the best plays of the day/week.

I know that for the past five or so years, ESPN has been trying to jump on the SJW train. That pushed me away almost for good.

But last night I had the new SVP Sportscenter show on while I was getting some work done. I honestly couldn't figure out what the topic was. They were doing a "Bad Beat" segment, and I figured it was about a team losing badly to another team, maybe an upset or an embarrassing loss.

I was wrong. It was actually a long segment dedicated to teams covering or not covering the spread.

Is that what ESPN has resorted to? SJW topics and pandering to gamblers?

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Smoke Jamaican Weed?

Speaking of ESPN and signs...pulled up a few of the best College Game Day signs.  Holy shipth there's some funny stuff out there, especially before ESPN really started cracking down on what they'd allow to be shown.  Surprised that Bama douche got that sign on.  Some of my favorites:

Saban Pees Sitting Down

From Harvard vs. Yale.  Yale cites Wikipedia

Still the best in my book:  Rudy Was Off Sides
