It speaks more about ESPN as a product. It's a terribly inefficient way to get info about your favorite sports teams. Most of the time its just 2 talking heads arguing and going on irrelevant tangents. Its especially bad with their radio station.

Other than live games, ESPN simply isn't competitive with the other ways sports fans follow their teams. You can watch highlights on youtube (without watching an hour long program), follow the good beat writers on their blogs, and get instant updates and breaking news from twitter.
