        Since you obviously have all these issues with ESPN, why do you keep reading and watching it? Voluntarily subjecting yourself to the same thing repeatedly and then redundantly whining about it isn't really a commentary on ESPN...it's a commentary on you. No wonder its ratings are so high.
        I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

            Actually I didn't watch the story on TV until later. I did see a thoughtful interview that had Jim Brown talk about this. I'll give them credit where it's due. I thought it was good.

            I just get bothered when they seem to spend more time on this, the Simmonds incident, the cheap shots and other bad stuff than the dramatic hockey that's been played.

              Haven't watched ESPN since the national championship game. Haven't watched SportsCenter in ages. Even PTI wore out its welcome last fall. However, it remains the predominant source of sports news (even if it steals from the true sources) so how they choose to cover (or not cover) a story is still important and bears watching - just not by me

                That's about the same story for me. Find little use for it aside from college football and NFL games, and my default channels have become NHLN, NBC Sports and USN (or whatever it's called...625 on Directv). However, I really don't comprehend the point of complaining about ESPN repeatedly. It is what it is, and does what it does to make as much money as it can. For most of the USCHO crowd, that's not a good fit. As such, don't bother watching it and stop *****ing like some schoolgirl if it's so bad (generally speaking...not aimed at you.)

                There are always plenty of other places to turn for things of higher interest. You know, like this for example.

                      Basically there is a writer for ESPN.com and no one knows if she really exists. She also seems to be part of a scheme to fraud people. It is kind of hilarious

                        To add to what I said...I give her and her partner credit...to be able to not only scam internet people out of money but get hired by ESPN as part of it (they now ended their freelance deal) takes talent. She was stupid though in that she let this get too big. It was only a matter of time before the house of cards collapsed and all the schemes were found out...especially since she was completely internet based.

                          Interesting read to say the least. Not surprised that ESPN got buffaloed with their slow change to talk/gossip instead of recaps/highlights.



                          Back to b**ching about ESPN for a moment... Went to look up something at ESPN3 then decided to look and see if any of the NCAA Hockey games were archived like in years past.

                          Seems they've wiped hockey completely off their ESPN3 site:
                          Image and video hosting by TinyPic
                          “Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

                            If you go to replay, then select all sports and "all" for time period, it's still on there.

                            They only archive back like 45-60 days now. Last year, I was able to watch college football games into the next summer until the new season was almost underway.

                              As an ESPN hater, this pleases me. Beadle to NBC.

                              At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                                The next shoe to drop will be Scott Van Pelt. I thought he'd be going to NBC, but with Beadle going there he might choose CBS for golf and college hoops. I really hope he doesn't sign up for another tour with the Mothership.
