I guess we had to see it coming. The ratings are so bad that unless you have more than basic cable, you're stuck watching Colin Cowherd be a dick on TV instead of the first semi.

Would love for NBC to get the rights and put it on NBC SN to give it the love it deserves.

It would help if College hockey shifted the date of the Frozen Four to where its not going head to head with the Masters. a week or two later in the season would at least make it harder for ESPN to not have it on at least the Deuce. Then you're past the Masters, the college basketball Final Four, and well, after every team gets thru their opening day, there's not a huge demand to see afternoon baseball games other than at sports bars.
 
Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread

There are contracts involved. To get the good stuff, ESPN HAS to show the other stuff (see: college hockey). While it won't disappear, and it may be harder to find, it will be televised in some way.
 
Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread

In a related story, ESPN announces its changing its name to BSPN.

Welcome to the Basketball ++++ Programming Network.
 
Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread

ESPN = "Entertainment & Sports Programming Network"
WWE = Sports Entertainment

So why aren't the results of Monday Night Raw announced on SportsCenter? :)
 
Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread

The WWE would hit too close to home for ESPN, or they probably would.

"Huh, something that appears to be a sport but is completely scripted and fake and done for ratings."

Who else does that sound like?

So does this make the Buffalo Bills the Barry Horowitz of pro sports? :D

Things more important than the NHL.

Dwight Howard's Stan Van Gundy impersonation and the Celebrity Basketball game.

Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread

Why is there a shot clock on the floor? Why? There is already a massive scoreboard on the bottom that includes a shot clock. Why do I need more graphics??? This is going to be as dumb as when they started putting the down and YTG on the field for football despite it being literally two inches lower on the scoreboard.
