    Who's Now and all the other dumb features they do like Titletown, the blowhard analysts they have like Stephen A. Smith and Steve Phillips, Around the Horn, showing the World Series of Poker instead of actual sports.

          The only good thing I've seen on ESPN lately was when Andy Gray was doing the Euro 2008 Championships.

          Their soccer coverage isn't good when they have Rob Stone, Julie Foudy, and Tommy Smyth doing it. All 3 of them are annoying and continually **** up (not so much Tommy Smyth).

                  What are you reasons for not liking ESPN?

                  Just curious to hear why they catch so much slack over the years.
                  I don't...I just realize it's like the WWE and video games. All have grown from the niche thing they were in the 80's, and now that they're massively popular you have to expect things to change (and change in a way that isn't as good for the 'hardcore')...

                  If you want hardcore news just watch ESPNews....Sportscenter is more than news now, it's entertainment too.

                    I've watched dry, deadpan, 70's documentaries that are more entertaining.

                      I hate Sportscenter, Stuart Scott and the current incarnation of Chris Berman.

                      The rest of the network is ok and Bob Ley/OTL is excellent. I wish they'd have more programming like that during the slow times in the sports year.

                          Above everything, when they manufacture news when there is no story.

                            I don't hate ESPN, but they've kind of gone the role of MTV. They went from doing what they started off doing to other crap that goes against it.

                            My major complaint with ESPN is that no matter where they are in the rankings, they will show every Red Sox v Yankee's game regardless of whether or not there is a more meaningful game to the playoffs.

                            I have a feeling that the Red Sox will clinch a trip to the post season before they finish their season against NY, meanwhile another game will be going on that will actually have meaning to the playoffs and they will still show the Yankee's/Sox games.

                            Also, I hate the fact that they cut to live footage of Brett Favre exiting a plane in Greenbay on his way to meet with management.

                            As someone else said, they spend 10 minutes on opinion pieces about whatevers hot in the media and throw in a 25 second highlight that involves a HR and a final score.

                            Finally, it's a bit annoying that the highlights seem to be more about who has the best catchphrase than who actually knows what is going on.

                            Oh yeah, is there anything worse than watching PTI or any of those other shows and having both Steven A Smith and Skip Bayliss at the same time.

                            Stick to Highlights and interviews on Sportscenter and keep the analysis for Baseball Tonight and NFL Primetime

                              The fact that the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, and Patriots are the only teams they care about or report on
                              Skip Bayless
                              Lou Holtz

                              gettind rid of Harold Reynolds

                              I'm so glad ESPN doesn't cover the EPL heavily because of my first point. It'd be all United all the time.

                                They rarely play games outside of the usual baseball games from the NL East/Central and AL East/Central (Cardinals, Cubs, Yankees, Tigers, Red Sox, White Sox, Phillies are normally the ones getting played on ESPN)

                                The news anchor cast has gone downhill, all the young guys attempt to be funny with every comment and its just lame. With everyone, could you be more obvious with your bias and personal fav teams on a national broadcast?

                                The only thing I really liked was Barry Melrose putting Linda Cohen in her place about hockey with her trying to take over the playoff highlights

                                I've made the switch over to ESPN news like some mentioned, its in HD so thats a big plus
