Default When exactly did Sportscenter start to become unwatchable?

Discussion has been made already about how this 'Who's more NOW' ridiculousness is just the most recent example of how Sportscenter is making it self more and more unwatchable.

But when did SC 'jump the shark'? I know it's been bad for a few years now, but I remember ~15 years ago as a kid, I'd look forward to going on vacations with the family just so I could stay in a hotel room with ESPN so I could watch Sportscenter. It might just be I liked SC back then only because we didn't have cable at home, but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it was because it was just flat-out better than it is now.

But I can't figure out what signalled the start of the downhill trend of SC.. any ideas?

that who's now thing just puts me on retard tilt. i can't even believe they do that.

i don't have cable and i still turn it on when i'm at a motel or something and am shocked at how dull it is, how stupid the segments are, how bad the calls are on the highlights, just basically everything about it sucks balls.

I'll go even further and say when Lebron started rapping. That was when I called it quits on Sportscenter for the summer. I of course will return to sportscenter during football season. I always make sure to watch it every sunday night after the Jaguars win and make sure I don't watch it on the sunday's they lost.
