Re: ESPN\'s new show E:60 (2 thumbs down!)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Brutal show. How staged were the "behind the scenes" stuff in B&W? ESPN needs to realize that people don't give a [censored] about Jeremy Schaap talking to a producer. [/ QUOTE ] It seems several people in this forum cared enough to watch. [/ QUOTE ] Watching a show the first time it is on has 0 correlation to it being good or not. [/ QUOTE ] Notice my comment wasn't about the show being "good" or not. A poster said nobody gives a [censored] about Jeremy Schaap talking to a producer, but people tuned in to watch it. If you didn't know that E:60 was going to involve Jeremy Schaap talking to a producer (and lots of similar stupid [censored]), you've been living under a rock.

Re: ESPN\'s new show E:60 (2 thumbs down!)
I hate pretty much every single thing on ESPN other than the sporting events they broadcast and even in those I hate their announcers and the stupid crap they interject into the game.
Remember the Arkansas/Alabama game a few weeks back where they kept having some US Women's Soccer player randomly appear ont he phone talking up the Women's world cup? Ugh. Then the next week the UGA/Bama game Mike Patrick makes a fool out of himself on the game's final dramatic play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZUB3eJOTos Pretty much every single person I meet or talk to about ESPN feels the same way about it. I have to wonder why ESPN hasn't felt some sort of backlash in the ratings about this yet. Clearly they would change if they felt it would bring in more people? Who are these people who are like "Dude, 'Who's More Now' is on! Awesome".... scary My biggest problem with ESPN is all the fluff and bullcrap they do. Do we need fuzzy lighted, piano themed sob feel good stories about some 3rd string kicker on some podunk team in North Dakota? There is no f'ing reason ESPN should find a way to bring up Hurricane Katrina every 15 minutes, it has NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS. All those sports journalists try to make themselves feel so important by connecting sports to bigger, more important world events. ITS JUST A BUNCH OF GUYS RUNNING AROUND THROWING/CATCHING/KICKING BALLS, give us the scores, give us the injury updates. We want substance, not you're stupid opinion or hype of everything. ESPN is all flash and hype. EVERY clip is the most amazing clip, EVERY dunk is the "most insane in your face dunk ever!!!!111", EVERY player has a nickname, EVERY game this week is going to be the "Biggest game of [insert whatever you want here]" 52 reasons why ESPN sucks http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/?p=1406

Re: ESPN\'s new show E:60 (2 thumbs down!)
i was 2 tabling and E60 came on. i didn't care for a single story, except Dr Bob which had its own problems. but my biggest problem with the show was the Bill Simmons segment.
WHO THE F CARES WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE IN A VIDEO GAME? it's like years ago Stuart Scott went to an NFL practice. at least that had a funny ending, Scott getting hit in the face with a football. ESPN is [censored]

Re: ESPN\'s new show E:60 (2 thumbs down!)
I've been a big ESPN basher as of late, especially with lame segments such as "Who's Now?" but apparently I'm in the minority because I liked E:60 last night. The only part I really disliked was when the reporters were all sitting around and discussing stories which was incredibly annoying and pointless.
Part of the reason I liked it may be bias because I'm a huge Carolina fan and loved the Jason Ray story. However, I also liked the story on the HS football player and on Prince/Cecil Fielder, so I think the show has a lot of potential.
