lol

who's now was drummed up because sports is totally dead in july - but yeah it's basically sports talk garbage, the more elements that creep into ESPN from sports talk radio, the worse it's going to get.

also sportscenter used to be a fun show, ESPNews is not - it's like the difference between the daily show and headline news.

the answer is when ESPNNEWS became watchable.

can someone please post in this thread and tell me that sportscenter's ratings are at a 15-year low or something

[Clarkmeister]

Avg ratings by year of SC in various time slots would be telling

I don't get the hate for ESPN or MTV....they gave us ESPNews and MTV2 for serious music/sports, and then make the primary station more enttertainment based. Why not just watch EspnNews or MTV2 and stop complaining?

For most people EspnNews is on a different tier of cable.

Have any of you heard of the Final Score on FSN? It doesn't hold a candle to the Kenny Maine/Rich Eisen days on SC, but it does do an excellent job showing the highlights of the games. Even though the show is only 30 min long, the highlight of the Sox/Royals game was 3 plays longer than the respective SC highlight of the same game (something I'm guessing holds true with other highlights as well).

As an added bonus, NO "EXPERTS"!!!!
