Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
The OP is asking to stream free ESPN (what app/site exactly?), that's not easy to do with Chromecast. If he/she has a pay TV subscription, maybe. If not - given the nature of the OP's question, would you assume he/she can readily setup mirroring from whatever device? It's not that easy IME. Which comes back to not enough information.
Fact is that if he/she doesn't have a pay tv subscription they are not going to be able to stream any ESPN content from computer to their tv regardless of the device. No subscription/no authentication=no streaming.
I can cast ESPN from my Watch ESPN app and/or my Directv app directly to my Chromecast.
Fact is if you can look at it on your computer (however you get it) you can cast it to a Chromecast. It is as simple as that. Chromecast is simply an interface between your TV and your computer assuming (as I have said all along) that you have the necessary HDMI slot on your tv. Ecosystem and computer type are irrelevant. If you are going from your computer to TV as opposed to from a mobile device you will need to go through Google Chrome. It will then completely mirror your computer screen on your tv should you desire or just specific content. See the attached article for more in depth information.
Mirror Your Computer’s Screen on Your TV With Google’s Chromecast
If that is not the case then the Chromecast is set up incorrectly.
