        I did the same thing. That also means that there's also only one day with no on rink, field or court activity in the year. And yes, I ranked those in order of importance.

          They should change the ESPY's to the NBA awards.

            Just imagine if Tim Tebow took up basketball and joined the Miami Heat.

              Granted, I don't live in an NBA market, but I can't think of a single friend, co-worker or associate who cares about or ever mentions the NBA.

              I also don't live in a MLB, NFL or NHL market and know lots of people who care about and talk about those sports.


              There's a certain disconnect between my sports life and what I see on the rare occasion that I tune into ESPeN.

              Full disclosure, I do usually have Mike & Mike on in the morning and watch PTI and the preceding show (name escapes me) from time to time, but at least those shows seem to mix it up more than Sports Center and First NBA Take do.


              I realize that they have the NBA contract and are pimping it, but I wonder if there are places that actually like the NBA on a level that jives with ESPN's level of coverage. I honestly don't know coz I've lived here for the past 20 years and have no other context at this point.

              My dad is the absolute only Bucks fan that I know and he lives in Florida. Madison gives a rip about the Bucks and the NBA as far as I can tell.

                It is very rare that I see an NBA fan in the Twin Cities, and when we do see them, we ridicule them for their stupidity.

                    As a teacher I've noticed that the kids LOVE the NBA. It's sad but true that the NBA and its players are money making and rating getter.

                            Not sure of the author, but IIRC I saw a tweet last week that in effect said "We didn't bring Onrait and O'Toole from Canada to NOT talk hockey". Onrait tweeted this:

                                I actually have a compliment for ESPN. For the most part, the articles on ESPN.com are very well-written. Head over to Yahoo and it's just a mess.
