Seriously who watches this guy? I can’t do more than about 3 minutes of the show without feeling like I just lost brain cells

The last non-actual-live-sport show I used to watch on ESPN was College Gameday, until Gasbag McPunter got on. Just cannot stand him and his grating voice and CHUD brain. Not sure how other people can stomach watching anything on that network, but to each their own, I guess...

Lucky for me, I don’t get home until almost game time, so I won’t have to watch the cringe. The ESPN C-suite’s bet on the Manosphere is going to implode so spectacularly. I’ll tune in for that, for sure.

@espn.com, first you ruined College Gameday, so now my (former Div 1 Nat Champ OL) hubs & I go to the farmers’ mkt on Sat mornings. So you’re running us off from MNC too?! We refuse to be yelled at by this idiot for 2 hrs while he jumps on the desk and takes off his clothes. Bye!

commentary is unnecessary - I get that it's useful for new fans who need to have the rules explained to them, but once someone has been watching the sport for awhile it's not needed. It's a relic left over from the radio broadcast era of the early 20th century.

Please McAfee……..stay the fu*k away from ESPN College Gameday! You are sooooo obnoxious!! I miss Coach Corso!! Don’t want to watch Orange Turd ass kisser!!

I understand that, for the kind of person who likes it, a shouty Hot Takes show is irresistible and everything Sports Teevee ought to be, but I find that kind of opinion-based show nigh unwatchable. It also centers discussions that have nothing to do with football - "who's your MVP" etc. - Ugh.

This is yet another example of why I no longer watch ANY of @espn.com's programming; I only watch their coverage of live sporting events as they're being broadcast. Their programming lineup has become too dominated by a select small group of gasbags who love to hear themselves talk-including McAfee.

So I can't watch the CFB Saturday pre-game show because misogynistic d-bag Dave Portnoy is on there. And now I can't watch NFL Monday Night Countdown b/c of this d-bag? I regret that I ever found him funny.
