As I spend most afternoons watching ESPN, I wonder which is your favorite.
I love Dan Le Batard, it's one of the only ESPN shows my wife will watch with me because Dan and Papi are funny as hell. I find Sportsnation watchable because Charrisa Thompson is beautiful. I used to like First take, but would rather gouge out my eyes and ears then listen to Steven A Smith verbally jack off LeBron James and the Knicks on a daily basis.
You?
EDIT: Forgot all about Around the Horn and PTI. Suck

Sportscenter because I am never home to watch any of the other shows.

The tried and true Sportscenter of these choices, though I think E:60, Sports Reporters, PTI and Around the Horn are all better shows than what you have listed.
I agree that SportsNation is only watchable for Thompson, but shows that are better when on mute clearly aren't very good. The show had a much better dynamic when it was hosted by Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle.

You know I used to enjoy Colin, but for fucks sake is it part of ESPN contract that you have to willingly accept a load to the face from LeBron and the New England Patriots? I mean it's like he bathes in the Kool Aid of all the "it" teams. However I really liked Michelle Beadle |

That is my favorite part of listening to Colin on ESPN radio...the fact that he takes pleasure in actively jocking the guys that 90% of America hates now. I don't know if he does it because he's a bandwagon jumper, for the ratings or just to be hated. No matter what it is, he's entertaining.

The people on ESPN have such bad takes.
I can't listen to them for most things.
I guess... PTI.
First Take is terrible.

You just say that because they don't show enough T-Wolves, Twins, Vikings, (insert whatever non-sense hockey team(s) is/are in Minnesota) love for your liking...if you liked the Yankees/Red Sox/Heat/Lakers/Cowboys/Steelers and/or Patriots, you'd be all in on ESPN... |

When you are in a smaller market you always enjoy when ESPN talks about your team but you never ever expect it so there is nothing to be upset about. Quite a few shows on ESPN are rather lackluster but I love PTI and Mike & Mike is always awesome. I used to like first take until I realized how fucking dumb Skip Bayless is. He doesn't like to actually have ideas and talk with any sort of knowledge, he just likes to love controversial subjects and he also loves to bash anything or anyone who does good. Ive never seen someone love Tebow so much and slander Lebron so much either. Either way Sportcenter, PTI, and Mike and Mike are some of the only things worth watching IMO. |

Sports Reporters and Around the Horn are my 2 favorites by far. PTI is pretty good too.

No, they just don't know what they're talking about. They'll say anything, doesn't need to be based on any fact, and they recycle old reports and pass them off as updates. They're all gimmicks, personalities, and bold claims rather than actual, factual reporting. |

Ugh. Years ago I loved Mike and Mike. However I can't imagine anybody outside of the NY/NJ area wants to hear Greenberg talk about the Jets on a daily basis. Radio guys are much better when they don't have an obvious bias.

Sports center for sure. That's the only reason I watch ESPN.

Around the Horn, PTI and NBA Tonight I think are the ones we get over here. Try and watch most NBA Tonight's and I do like Pardon the Interruption when both Kornheiser and Wilbon are on it. They have done an English version for our sports and it sucks.

I have watched almost all those shows you've listed, but I have to go with Sportscenter. I have watched it since I was a kid and still do today obviously so it is a staple in my viewing.
