I'm not one automatically given to disliking Disney-tinged stuff, even when it comes to sports movies.

Wait, ESPN talked about baseball at all. Surely, there must've been some football to analyze in depth, no?

Well it was on their 'Baseball Tonight' show, the one hour (used to be a nightly show but now has been sliced to maybe 3x/week) where the 4 or 5 guys on the payroll in Bristol, CT who actually like and understand baseball are allowed to go off in a corner and talk amongst themselves undisturbed by the jocks at the cool lunch table. That they were then required by their overlords to spend the better part of one of the rare hours they get pimping the movie and everyone connected to it just adds insult to insult.

I watched this on the plane with Lunchpail and it was... boring and kind of meh overall, but maybe not as bad as I feared.

I generally find the practice of writing real media folks into the plot so that they can comment on the non-real or quasi-real characters makes for a weak plot device. That this one does that by shoe-horning Kurkjian & Stark into the flick only further explains the fuss made over the premier that was made on BB2N.
