Rachel Nichols never tells me anything I care about or didn't already know

ESPN owns our version of ESPN (a channel called TSN in Canada), so we get a lot of of ESPN programs.

Frankly, I think ESPN personalities are more concerned with being stars than simply knowledgable about sports. Sadly, the same crap has spread to TSN personalities.

We have clowns here (Jay Onrait, Dan O'Toole) who are on our Sports Centre who think of themselves as fucking comedians before sports news guys. Very, very annoying.

most sports guys use to be comedians in the first place. You cant just repeat scores, you have to jazz it up or its just ..name/total,name total = boring

...my favorite memory....Keith Olberman calls Coppin State " the A-feels of Coppin"

I simply don't agree. That doesn't make me right, it's just an opinion.

If I want to watch comedy, I'll switch to a comedy channel. If I want to know what happened on sports on any given day, I'll turn on the sports channel.

And, frankly, the sports channel comedians are simply not that funny.

Look, I understand what you're saying to a degree, but this thread is about one thing and your complaint is about something else. If you want to know what happened in sports in a given day, and you want to avoid the useless commentary, I would think that you would use the internet? It's not really the point here. At least the guy's trying to be comedians while recapping sports are a complete waste of time: they are at least recapping the sports in some way. Sideline reporters literally serve no purpose other to tell us that they know nothing OR that they know something that we already know.

IMO Seth, 90% of the ESPN personalities know less than sideline reporters.
