Samuel L. Jackson was among the many viewers who shared a gripe regarding ESPN’s airing of Sunday’s national title game.

The highly anticipated matchup featuring Iowa and South Carolina saw many tune in to ESPN and ABC, with the former hosting an alternate cast in which WNBA stars Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi called the game while offering professional insight as well as completely unrelated takes.

It was not to everyone’s taste, however.

The Gamecocks, who went undefeated all season, put in another strong performance that ensured Caitlin Clark would be leaving college without a championship as they won 87-75.

Who TF @ESPN thought this podcast commentary is a good idea??!! I never knew I needed an ABC feed before!!!” he tweeted.

With you 100 on that -had to switch to ABC to save my sanity” one user wrote in agreement.

I was just looking for this post!!! I love them both, but I want to hear commentary relative to what’s happening on my screen, not that clown show. I feel sorry for those who only have one b’cast to tune into. Do better,” another wrote.

Blame the Mannings they did it so well that now they think they can throw anyone on an alternate feed,” one pointed out.

ESPN’s National Title Game Alt-Cast Was Clearly Not For Everyone

The national title game was pretty entertaining. And, fortunately, fans had the option of watching the regular feed on ABC or adding a different perspective with ESPN’s alt-cast. The latter isn’t for everyone, clearly, but it’s a great switch for those who didn’t want to watch a traditional broadcast.

It’s going to be interesting to see how ESPN goes about this in the future, but the ManningCast’s success has suggested that this is something they should keep trying, even at the risk of getting called the “M” word.
