some say ATH was too “woke.” guess what? for a network that talks breathlessly about trumpers like eldrick, TB12,  saban, rob manfred, jack nicklaus, mike gundy, 90% of team owners, saquon, etc, etc, etc. it’s sometimes refreshing to hear people not afraid to speak out.

ESPNs lack of baseball coverage is very telling.  They must not be getting paid by the MLB like the NFL is.  Also Karl Ravitch is terrible.

They are ending their contract with MLB after this season, option out 3 years early. They clearly don't see baseball as worth covering. So, more WNBA games in future summers....yay?

That makes total sense.

ATH was an echo chamber though.  I enjoyed some of it but in the end it was who could remember the most "facts" or stats. I couldn't stand Pablo or Kines on there.

I hear you on the stats thing. Mina sure loves her "next gen" NFL stats. That said, I really like her and Pablo for their humor. I loved Cowlishaw's self deprecating humor. BTW, Tim's book about his sobriety after being a 30 year(?) drunk was pretty good.

I went to put the Euro League Final 4 for basketball on ESPN+ but the games were not being streamed. 

And who knows why they weren't when they Streamed Regular Season games and the Best of 5 Quarterfinals.
