    Unless I'm watching the Blazers, I never last more than five minutes on ESPN. I hate every single one of their smug snarky talking heads. Have they no clue?

    They're all just so bland, and that bland talent is leaving to places like FS1 like Skip did.

    Maybe ESPN should tell the NBA and NFL to stop fucking with their product?

    The NFL has taken all the fun out of football. Stupid penalties, no celebrations, too many commercials, etc etc etc. It's a rotten league. Goodell is a piece of shit.

    The NBA is a sham, and most people know it. We all know it's going to be GSW vs CLE in the Finals. Why tune in and watch something that's predictable and essentially scripted?

    The NBA is great, even knowing that it's a two team race. I love watching it. Maybe it's just me.

    It boils down to favoritism and unbalanced refereeing. Why is Draymond Green allowed to kick people without repercussions? Why is James Harden allowed to jump on someone's back and the foul is called on them?

    The NBA is a joke.

    Geez, I own two homes and I cant handle my taxes and turn them over to an accountant. Have an appt. at 6pm tonight as a matter of fact. I could only imagine the paperwork involved. Your bill from your accountant is probably equal to all the taxes I paid before write offs.

    My stepfather was an accountant and I could have went to school and took over his business, but numbers are soo boring. Now I kind of wish I did. Similiar to your freelancing, it wold be nice to set my own hours a as a CPA.

    Ya I'm lucky man. He really helps me out with all the different state rules.....and is great at finding things I can write off. My bill is usually around $700, but I just remind myself that I can write that off the next year. I don't complain, like my car and house, rather pay somebody skilled who knows what they're doing, than try myself.

    I don't.

    Isn't that the whole point? ESPN is bleeding money. Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't watch it.

    Damn, $700 isn't actually that bad.
