I have never liked any of their panel shows - but Australians generally have little tolerance for bloviators and America is #1 in that regard. I’ve posted before about the ads - far too many, and overly repetitive. Excessive Self Promotion Network is so apt. I also hate the “due to time constraints, we move ahead in the action”. Sometimes even in supposedly ‘live’ broadcasts.
But my #1 gripe now is that they show very little live sports in Australia anymore, and then even fewer replays. Their NBA coverage is okay, but the MLB coverage sucks (unless of course you are a Yankees, Sox or Dodgers fan), NHL coverage is worse than a decade ago and NFL is only a couple of games a week.
And then there’s the FA Cup coverage - when they struggle to get the names of the club correct.....
Sports leader ? Don’t think so......

It drives me nuts when they put up that "time constraints" BS in any American sport. You've got time to show a QB talking in a huddle 100 times a game, 20 replays of every injury, the list goes on, and you're skipping actual action due to "time constraints?" Same in any sport. Why am I looking at a guy line up a FT for 20 seconds, a coach showing a board to his players and constant 5 minute ad breaks if there's "time constraints?" And don't even get me started on all the time they waste showing unimportsnt crap in basrball games and then skipping whole innings because of "time constraints."

I probably have ESPN on more than any other channel. The 24/7 sports causes too much repetition and they have to beat all the what-ifs to death. Certain personalities rub me the wrong way - Kellerman, Wingo, Yates, Bretos, Rinaldi, some others. I'm fine with Burke.
