the guy is spot on..I stopped watch sports center years ago.. I grew tired of the smug wanna be comedians posing as sports anchors. How these no talent ass feltchers are popular is beyond me.Originally posted by WinstonSmith@Sep 8 2005, 05:37 PM
In the blink of an eye it seems like we’ve lost our best friend. All of a sudden, like a teenage boy whose acne cleared up and girls started noticing him, ESPN has abandoned its friends — the fans. I, for one, am tired of waiting around for this trend to change; moreover, I am beginning to fear that we have lost the true essence of SportsCenter for good. Yeah, I read articles on ESPN.com, and I can dissect and reread newspaper box scores on my own time, but it just isn’t the same. I like seeing A.I. hit a clutch reverse lay-up more than just reading that he shot 8-17 from the floor. I like hearing Jon Miller call a Sunday Night Baseball game-winning home run more than just seeing it in the headlines. That was the point of SportsCenter, to add that extra spice to our sports life.
Just a snippet. Very interesting op-ed.

There are many espn detractors on this foram for the entire history of it and I never could understand the disdain for espn. I would always think to myself, what is wrong with these people? espn is great. Well, the last few months I have to agree with you all. I am tired of the comedy central routines and the self rightousness of all the anchors and especially the ( here ya go 007) eastcoast bias. I very rarely watch SC anymore except when I haven't seen a game or score or if I'm on vacation or something similar. I'd rather spend time with you folks. :PRIP Stan the Man

Sportscenter is good background or when they run specific segments.
ESPN News never lets you down. 80% of their programming is highlights.Comment

I'd love to have that but Charter doesn't carry it. :(Originally posted by pgrote@Sep 8 2005, 07:15 PM

The only fucked up thing about Charter is that ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN Classic are on the same package but ESPN News isn't. Retarded.
OTOH, I got tired of my signal going out every time it rained, so I went back to cable.RIP Chris Jones 1971-2009

In about three years of DirecTV, I have had about half a dozen times when I could't receive my picture due to rain fade.
Even then, it lasted about five minutes.
I really like DirecTV.When you say to your neighbor, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night if that's alright with you," what you really mean is, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night."Comment

The specialty shows, like NFL Prime Time and Baseball Tonight, are awesome for highlights. Sportscenter not so much any more.
I love Prime Time except for the fact that I have to listen to Berman. And Jackson.
OK, basically I love the highlights.Dude. Can. Fly.Comment

I've had it for a year, I think I've lost signal 2 or 3 times, never for more than a few minutes.
And I can get Sunday Ticket, which pretty much ends the discussion.
