POLL: does espn suck?

[shimsham]

i was just flipping to the weather channel, and i stopped to watch a few minutes of their 25yrs of espn show. wth is up with them the past few years. between all the stupid "cooler than the flip side of the pillow in the hizzle pffftbbblfart" crap the sportscasters say trying to be funny, game shows, soap operas, awards shows, etc. it just seems like they want to be mtv more than market sports to men.

so, do you think espn sucks?

 

[Zim Hosein]

yes. i only watch it when looking for a score or they are showing a game i want to see.

 

[mpitts]

In general, I like ESPN.

I don't like the fact that they have become a shamelessly self-promoting media outlet.

ESPN is there to report the stories, not create them. That is what gets on my nerves.

And Stu Scott has got to go. His crazy eye keeps me from watching SportsCenter late at night.

That, and I usually watch whatever game they are showing as long as it is college/pro football/basketball.

I'm not a fan of ESPN, my brother loves it though. Oh, and the question in your post and in the poll are different.

I love ESPN. Best channel next to the NFL Network and G4TechTV.

I like ESPN for the most part, but if I hear, "as cool as the other side of the pillow" one more time I will lose it!

 

[PoPPeR]

what happened to his eye? I was wondering about that the other day

 

[jadinolf]

Never watch it.

I'm not an "athletic supporter".

He thought he was an a wide receiver and tried to catch a ball from the Juggs machine at Jets camp.

POW!

[Engelphat]

espn used to be alot better

 

[ShowdOWN]

nothing beats NFL PRIMETIME on ESPN!

 

[deerslayer]

I don't care for it a whole lot anymore either.

 

[imported_Strang]

I like SportsCenter, NFL Primetime and the This Is SportsCenter ad campaign.

As a result, ESPN > shimsham.

Stuart Scott is the only reason I DON'T watch Sportcenter anymore. I can't stand his lame-ass act.

i have no choice, they're basically the only all sports network out there. There is fox, but fox is only good for football.

 

[Cal166]

Love the World Series Poker they have on or is it ESPN2.

I almost never watch Fox Sports unless there's a baseball game on (or the actual Fox network for football). The Best Damn Sports Show Period makes my left eye twitch.

ESPN is still great.

I love Dick Vitale's energy even though he's nearing his 150th birthday for anything college.

Dick Vitale makes me want to peel my skin off.

He makes me glad that I'm not a college basketball fan, eheh.
