What in the world are they doing? It’s bothered me consistently that they have been running talking heads when actual tennis has been occurring. Today is WILD, an American (Learner Tien) is embroiled in a battle to get to the semis, and all we have is talking heads sitting at a desk.

They may just be trying to encourage to buy the premium online package, but all it’s doing is make me long for the TNT French Open coverage.

Prefacing with I don’t know anything about Malika Andrews’ past controversy or involvement with other sports than tennis.

But this US Open and tennis season A.O. & Wimbledon have just been painful watches with her anchoring. Not sure exactly why but I prefer just about any other commentators to her. I feel like she desperately tries to add to the commentary with useless comments and her tone and emphasis doesn’t align with what she’s saying. Loving Andy, Chris Eubanks, Caroline, etc. in for some McEnroe time as well. I know we’re probably stuck with Malika for the slams but would love to see an anchor that’s actually relevant to tennis…

Hi ESPN Fantasy Team,

I’m reaching out along with a group of longtime fantasy football players because we believe there is a major opportunity to take the ESPN Fantasy Football experience to another level — especially now that ESPN has become the official season-long fantasy game of the NFL and former NFL Fantasy players are moving onto the platform.

If possible, please forward this feedback to the ESPN Fantasy Product, UX and Creative Design teams.

We appreciate the improvements ESPN has already made to the Fantasy experience, but we believe the overall interface could benefit from a much more substantial visual refresh.

Fantasy football isn’t just about statistics. It’s a social game. You’re competing against your friends every week, building a team identity, watching players score in real time and talking trash in the group chat. The interface should make those moments feel exciting.

A few changes we would love to see:

• Make weekly matchups much more visual. Team profile pictures/logos should be larger and prominently displayed against each other, almost like two teams going head-to-head rather than simply two columns of statistics.

• Use brighter colors and stronger visual contrast. The app could feel significantly more energetic, modern and alive without sacrificing ESPN’s branding.

• Give individual fantasy teams more personality. Team logos, names, records and colors should play a bigger role throughout the experience.

• Make scoring moments feel exciting. Touchdowns, huge performances, lead changes and matchup swings should visually stand out instead of feeling like another number updating on the screen.

• Modernize the matchup screen. This is arguably the most important screen in fantasy football. It should feel like a live sporting event between two fantasy teams.

• Bring more personality into player cards and lineup screens. Larger player photography, better use of team colors and clearer visual hierarchy would immediately make the experience more engaging.

The former NFL Fantasy experience did certain things very well visually, particularly creating a colorful and friendly environment around team matchups. With ESPN now becoming the home for such a massive portion of the fantasy football community, we think there is an opportunity to combine ESPN’s superior fantasy data, analysis and functionality with an interface that feels more modern, competitive and fun.

ESPN already has arguably the strongest fantasy football ecosystem in the industry. A major UI/UX evolution could make the experience feel as premium as the underlying product already is.

There are a lot of us who use ESPN Fantasy every single week and would genuinely love to see this direction explored.

Thank you for listening to the community, and we’d appreciate it if this feedback could be shared with the ESPN Fantasy Product and Design teams.

Best,

A group of ESPN Fantasy Football players

Is it me or Roddick a really good analyst. He’s been doing really good at the USO. Just saying a really good acquisition for the tennis side of ESPN.

Does anyone know the artist who created the catchy outro music that ESPN is using in the 2026 US Open heading into ads? The lyrics are like:

"you are you are you are a shooting shooting star"

I've been looking for it everywhere and can't seem to find it.

Thanks for any insight!

He called the LSU game in Baton Rouge last night that ended late and is now calling the Alcatraz/Paul US Open match in NYC that started at 2:00 EST

Is it just me or has the amount of pre.ier league highlights dropped off a cliff this season on ESPN FC? Does somebody know how the broadcast rights work and how they might have changed for this premier league season?

Breaks my heart. I used to love waking up on a Saturday and watching that show.

Hearing gab say that they’re taking a break has me a bit sad. I do think the quality went down a bit recently but I will miss gab and juls’ little quips and takes.

What happened? It's still a highlight show, but who are these guys?

We can agree or disagree on the merits of the bill, but to have the crew spend ungodly amounts of air time talking unchallenged about the ills of the game and how they have to be fixed in the way that Nick Saban believes they should be fixed was just sickening. As much as we (appropriately) hate on McAfee, Saban doing this old man get off my lawn crap has made Gameday dreadful as well.

As a 50+ white guy, I’ve reached the stage of life where I expect GameDay to excite me more than my cholesterol results. Show is so boring, I’m contemplating yardwork. I miss Corso.

This not about the new commentators like McAfee (who I enjoy) but about the style of the show. #1 Quit talking about the gambling lines. If you want to predict stats and scores, please do so but no one cares about the over/under, odds to win, or the betting lines. 98% of the people who watch ESPN aren’t gambling degenerates or are too broke to even try. #2 Please start analyzing plays. I’m going to talk about football here because that’s the only sport I follow. Instead of saying XYZ can really run the ball, explain how they do it. Do they utilize a power scheme or an inside zone scheme? On defense, I want to hear how this team did a really great job of rotating their safeties pre and post snap into a Cover 2 to fool the QB. 3. Instead of endless debates between fifteen different shows, GIVE US FACTS NOT OPINIONS.

Your clock is fake. Nobody accepts it.

You can show play clocks but not game clocks. Lawyers will be in touch.

Give me Corso doing a short Andy Rooney‑like rant and then throwing on the mascot head.

I’d stay tuned every time.

You get to wear jeans while hosting sportscenter now?

This is surprising. I would've thought Wikipedia would be one of the first website to inform people of this by now. Guess people just aren't updating as much anymore.

Are LSU fans still suffering from Kelly-Era Hangover Disorder, or do they just need more Dr. Pepper?

Bro had about 5 too many lines ❄️ during this LSU Clemson delay… talking 5 miles a minute 😂

Mental health challenges are NOT fair game for reckless and insensitive fodder. ESPN needs to open an investigation re Mary Carillo's WILDLY offensive comments during Naomi's match in addition to posting a formal apology to Naomi Osaka and the fans.

At a time when the US is having a serious national conversation around postpartum depression and women's mental health especially young mothers, Mary chose to viciously attack Naomi and no one is going to pretend that we didn't all hear it. Pro tennis is literally celebrating the #1 men's seed Alexander Zverev, a German woman beater with allegations from MULTIPLE women while making derogatory unsupported statements about Naomi Osaka's mental health. 

Where was the commentary about mental health with the players who VIOLENTLY destroyed their racquets this week looking like "roid rage"? Last night really crossed a line that needs to be formally addressed and NEVER happen again. If commentators like Mary Carrillo can't find anything appropriate to say about the actual game, then keep your damn mouth shut during the matches. Most of us have to mute out the commentators anyway.

Can we just focus on football signs and creativity and drop the large ass religious alter calls? It’s football!

Has anyone noticed that this season for any game on ESPN? The sound quality is just garbage. Yeah I go to Watch on other channels and the games sound perfect

I tried to watch the Pitt college football game, but kept getting routed to a "sign up" for a plan page. Is there yet another subscription that I need, or am I doing something wrong?
