Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
Bottom line ESPN is alive and well to a lot of people based on its enormous financial success.Comment

NBA TV
MLB TV
NHL Channel (really wish more games would come on this channel!)
NFL Network

Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
I was about to say the exact same thing.
1. Skip Bayless is an idiotic side show. Lil' Wayne probably has better sports insight than him.
2. I only watch ESPN for actual games now.
3. ESPN News is my new best friend since ESPN became a whore to the ratings system. Thanks to your parents ABC and Walt Disney.Comment

The sad thing is ESPNews is starting to go down hill as well. It's only a matter of time for that channel...."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that ESPN has turned into a steaming pile of crap.
As a journalist, I was appalled at the amount of time they spent last year on Brett Favre. You know it's bad when they lead off SportsCenter reporting on a rumor that Favre had sent a text message to someone; then have one of their terrible ex-NFL player analysts come on and discuss what Favre might've written in the text.
So glad I have a dish b/c now I can watch the NFL Network and FSN's 30-minute highlight show. I'll only watch ESPN if FSU, Syracuse or the Nuggets are playing, and I'll watch some MNF.Currently Playing:

The redesign is a little cleaner, for whatever reason though I just don't like it.Comment

Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
I don't see anything wrong. I mean all they're doing is following in the footsteps of MTV,BET, and E! And we seen how those channels have turned out.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
But seriously, it would be nice if somebody on there had an actual opinion instead of going by what the "in" thing to do/say.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: ESPN is now dead to me!
I needed an outlet but I didn't know where to put it, so this thread seemed at least slightly fitting. I haven't had cable for the past two or three years, but I've been spending time at a friend's house these past few days so I've been able to watch Sportscenter for the first time in a while. I have to ask, what in the world is the deal with the Herman Edwards segment? They're going team-by-team and having him give a fake locker room speech for each of them? What?!
I just feel time has passed me by in terms of cable and sports channels. I've been watching Sportscenter for about 40 minutes so far (from 10-10:40) and I haven't seen a single baseball highlight from last night. I went to ESPN.com just to verify that it wasn't some kind of strange off-day last night. Right now I'm watching Marcellus Wiley commentate a Lions-Packers game from a year ago with dynamite drop-ins like, "In the air, over the shoulder, good catch." Excellent, I'm glad we're reviewing this year old contest. It's been a real eye-opener.
Is there a place on cable TV that still offers highlights, news, and results from games that occurred the night previous? I know FSN's Final Score did a good job, but they don't seem to air very often. It doesn't seem this cable (or my family's cable) has access to ESPNEWS. I don't like being the guy that says things like, "Back in my day" or "Shows these days. . ." but my god, what is happening?Comment

Watch the league-specific channels.
ESPN's goal is to dumb down viewers. And it's working.Comment
