Do you hate ESPN’s Imagine Dragons theme as much as Dori?

Dori cannot stand ESPN’s new theme for its college football games — pop rock group Imagine Dragons’ new single, “Natural.”
“I’m gonna want to rip my ears off my head if I have to listen to this the entire college football season,” Dori said.

710 ESPN’s Dave Wyman, while pointing out that he was not “as outraged” as Dori, agreed that there was no need for ultra-dramatic tunes.
“It’s football, okay — it’s important, but it’s not that important,” Dave said.
Kicking it back to the 1970s, Dori said that he missed the classic ESPN theme from his childhood and youth, calling it “the best theme music in the history of sports.”
“Do you remember when you were a kid in the ’70s and this music came on?” Dave asked.
“I was about 8 years old, I was so excited, I was tingly,” Dori recalled.
