Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread
It is getting pretty positive reviews.
On another note, the September 30 edition of ESPN The Magazine arrived today. It features a list of all 122 major franchises and lists them in order. The #1 franchise is.... Memphis Grizzlies. Go figure. The Miami Heat are the 5th best NBA franchise, coming in at #25 overall. The top football franchise is the Green Bay Packers (#5) and top MLB is Arizona Diamondbacks (6) before a trio of NHL squads Pittsburgh, Anaheim and Ottawa take spots 7-9. The worst franchises are the Toronto Maple Leafs, Miami Marlins, New York Jets and the worst of the worst: Sacramento Kings.
Minnesota: Wild (50), Twins (58), Vikings (69) and Timberwolves (83)
Boston: Patriots (39), Celtics (45), Bruins (48) and Red Sox (93)
New York/New Jersey: Devils (40), Giants (66), Nets (71), Rangers (76), Islanders (78), Yankees (87) Knicks (102), Mets (106) and Jets (121)

So... what's their criteria that puts the Grizzlies (really?) at number 1?

It's comical.
And NDSU fans are completely embarrassing themselves complaining how it should be at the FargoDome instead of Downtown...

Indeed. **** pity they're playing Delaware State instead of Delaware. I would love to see them lose.

Re: The "Complain About ESPN" Thread
This Fox Football Daily on FS1 is far superior to what ESPN offers, imo. The range of topics they cover is far more expansive than what NFL Live tends to. I don't know either way, but it wouldn't surprise me if the latter spent 60% of the show on RGIII and whether Andy Reid will get booed this weekend.

Yeah, it's a pity they are showing a bit of love to a team with a large, rabid fanbase, who also just happened to beat K-State. Also are two-time defending FCS champs. You people are truly upset that a college pregame show is being filmed in Fargo? This affects your life in what way, exactly? The show is exactly the same every single week, except with a different background. Let the people have their fun and move on.
That's rich, coming from you.

Yeah, because those who posted that drivel were really just trying to be funny. Not that I'd expect a halfwit like yourself to know the difference.
