It's kind of interesting that they did it thru then- as the 2022-23 season is the one that could get really ravaged by the World Cup in Qatar.

The ESPN2 numbers way off. No way in hell they average only 25k viewers per day or 41k viewers in prime time. Last 2 weeks- ESPN2 in all day is 179k and 213k. Prime time is 237k and 375k.
And just funny that he says they should catch ESPN in a few years. When you consider that FS1's #1 thing of all time- the playoff game had as good viewership as the little league world series game that Mone Davis started.

I don't know, but maybe ESPN2 was televising poker night or the World's Strongest Man competition.
Speaking of the Little League World Series, am I the only one that finds it creepy that ESPN has wall-to-wall coverage of the Little League tournament? Maybe just because I have 9 and 12 year old sons? In our Little League, the parents decided not to put the kids' names on their jersey backs, for basic safety reasons. Meanwhile, ESPN has in depth analysis of all these kids. Weird.
And I couldn't find the clicker last night when my kids finally went to bed, and they had it on the ESPN Pirates-Dodgers game. So I listened to their crew for a couple of innings. How is this any better than MLB Network or FS1's baseball coverage? It isn't, it's worse. Dan Shulman is good, but seriously, does John Kruk really offer anything special to justify great ratings? My 12 year old offers better baseball insight than Kruk. Sheesh.
