I was about to post this, wtf is going on at ESPN?

[FedEx227]

Well, it's not like being Tebow/NFL obsessed is something new there. They just really, really should stop calling themselves a form of journalism or calling themselves a Worldwide Leader in Sports because it's essentially Good Morning America with sports clips.

SportsCenter has been shit for years, and ESPN programming has become almost worthless for anything outside of live sporting events IMO.

Broken image for me...what is it?

On last nights show, the lead story was a 3-0 NFL Preseason game. They spent 7 minutes on highlights, complete with Herm Edwards breaking it down ("The Cowboys defense showed me something tonight!"). Preseason. Fake game. Breaking it down. 3-0. Seven minutes.

They then showed two baseball highlights, and the next seven stories were NFL related. Do you realize how deep you have to dig for seven NFL stories on August 13?

Sunday, with Rory McIlroy winning the PGA in dominant fashion, MLB pennant races, a NASCAR race, Team USA hoops winning gold, and Olympics all happening, the top story, once again, was fake football. A game between the two worst teams in the league last year no less. Because Andrew Luck threw a ball two yards on a screen play for a TD. That was the top story on a loaded Sunday. A TD in a NFL exhibition.

Three SportsCenter anchors (term used loosely since 2 of them are ex-players/coaches) wearing birthday hats, with a cake and fake bagged gifts celebrating Tim Tebow's 25th Birthday. I'm almost positive they do it for every player in every league when it's their birthday.

Only shows NFL highlights

PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE NFL!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO.

Self-fulfilling prophecy. I am kind of proud of myself, I haven't turned on ESPN in months, now that I get NBATV and MLB Network there's simply no reason to watch ESPN outside of the games themselves.

Potential names for ESPN

NFL Network, the second

Entertainment and Football Programming Network, EFPN

Espn's coverage of the Olympics has been abysmal. Even low for ESPN's low standards. I guess its hard the Excessive Self Promotion Network to cover NBC events.
