Mark Maye made a career out of ripping Notre Dame. Who gives a shit?

Not sure if Jones is being unprofessional on purpose, or if he's just really dumb.
He's an idiot. I've listened to two games he's called ... one being Washington @ Cal in 2016 and both him and his partner were super tards.

More evidence that ESPN has moved past the line of professionalism. They are supposed to be covering the game not making themselves a part of it.


this is the same network that pulls a coach to the side during a time out for an interview, in bball. they also put a headset on the coach for an interview during softball games. injecting themselves into the competition is what they do. smh...

There's no love lost between Washington and ESPN. ESPN has been bashing Washington for the past couple of years now.

Twitter is detrimental to dumb assess job security

I've said for a long time. "You can get by with being stupid for a long time without anyone noticing if you keep your mouth shut".

Did he ever call games? He split time killing ND and Ohio State but as long as it's on an opinion show, I don't see the big deal. When it spills over to game commentary, it's unseemly at best.

what? we are upset about this comment? It's a little banter and trash talk within the sports world.

ESPN has shit on us for a long time, but this seems a bit sensitive on Washington's perspective. Could just be them drawing a line.

My personal opinion is that Mark Jones was making a poor attempt to be funny.

You also have to keep in mind that UW is going to be susceptible to these types of remarks until we step up on that stage. Penn State, Alabama, and now Auburn have all been losses for us.

If we want this shit to stop, we need to start winning these games.
