SportsNation

Espn's "SportsNation" is one of those little sports shows that's worth a watch it keeps you informed of sports happenings and it's pop culture. With guests interviews are done with sports stars and online polls are taken to show viewers opinion as they are asked to vote on on air questions and interactive graphics and charts are shown breaking down sports data and informative history about certain players and certain teams. Plus you the viewer can even tweet and send emails during the show. Plus from time to time the knowledgeable and very up to date Max Kellerman speaks on sports topics and the host is another beauty a cute thing named Michelle Beadle so there is some eye candy treat! So if you like the sports world watch this program.

Some days I like the banter and references they have, but for the most part I am so sick of the "meme and pop culture" forced into the show. It's even coming through in the word choice they use such as "throwing shade, squad, salty". When I watch TV, I want to escape all the same jokes and memes I see on the internet, not see it regurgitated over and over. Half of the time they aren't even debating anything related to athletic performance, or ranking, or strategy. Usually they are "reacting" or giving their ethical or political opinion on something that someone who happens to be an athlete has done recently. I wish they would use their time, money, and personnel to discuss something related to sports.

Do you like memes? How about pandering to a younger audience? How about more memes, and memes about athletes, and memes about franchise owners?! Nothing makes me enjoy sports more than seeing a crying Jordan meme over every player who makes a mistake. If you love sports "analysts" yelling at one another, yelling at the camera, or just yelling so they can be heard over all the sound effects that are getting played to keep your short attention span focused on the television, then boy howdy, SportsNation has you covered. Nothing I love more than the 40 jeers segment, where Marcellus Wiley gets to yell "OH" and yuk it up every time a player falls to a sound effect. They even have AUDIENCE POLLS! Where you get to vote what athlete deserves to get meme'd the most every month! WOW! When we talk about sports analysis, and the conversation of best show in the business, there's no reason to bring up SportsNation, as it has already been confirmed that it is the greatest show of all time, and talking about it would add nothing more to conversation that hasn't already been said. SportsNation saved my marriage.

It's not pardon the interruption,it's constant interruption. These "pros" constantly talk over each other so trying to understand one of them much less all them is impossible. I think it's great they think they are funny, even if they're not. The internet show thing has been done to death so the format seems shaky at best. ESPN has jumped the shark with soo many commentary shows, that's a lot of money for little gain. If the channels were reduced the excess shows cut, well that's more money in the bank no? Those same people would tune into the other shows and the market shares would be the same. But then again I don't run the company and I love a train wreck.
