Damn you, Samuel! Catch it!
When it comes to watching the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship game, most people probably enjoyed the experience, but if you’re Samuel L. Jackson (which I don’t think you are), you weren’t a fan at all.
Like most of us, the Hollywood star was in front of her television screen Sunday watching Hawkeye and Gamecock fight over Nutty. It was an entertaining game from beginning to end, with South Carolina winning in the end. 87-75 victory They finished the season with an undefeated record of 38 wins and 0 losses.
Yeah, there were no complaints there, neither did Jackson…but ESPN’s commentary can’t say the same. (Related article: Lynette Woodard says she holds the scoring record despite becoming a star player, and she hates Caitlin Clark outright)
Two major broadcasts of the game were airing simultaneously on the four-letter network. One was the game itself with regular commentary, and then Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi (podcast “The Bird & Taurasi Show”). Well, Jackson wasn’t happy with either broadcast and had no problem letting the whole world know it.
“TF @ESPN who thought this podcast commentary was a good idea??!! I didn’t know we needed an ABC feed until now!!!” Jackson said on the X Post .
But Jackson’s criticism of ESPN didn’t stop there, as he also cast a shadow over ABC’s broadcast for talking too much about Caitlin Clark rather than the Shamcocks who won the game.
“It’s okay to talk about the winning team!!!” Jackson posted.
Who is TF @ESPN Do you think this podcast commentary is a good idea??!! I didn’t know I needed an ABC feed until now.

Talking about the winning team is also OK!

All we need is “motherfucker” thrown in somewhere in these posts. Then we are Gucci!
