This. He must have a bare bones contract or pics of ESPN in bed with an intern. He's awful. Terrible. Every time he opens his mouth I just turn off the TV.Originally posted by cF[Authentic] View PostCode:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Still Complaining About ESPN...
I wonder how long the NBAPA is going to let the players do the ESPN/Playoff/Disney movie commercials.
ESPN isn't even bothering to hide the fact that they are disney.Comment

Fox tried with FS1 by hiring away Jay and Dan from TSN, where they were the faces of TSN's version of Sportscenter. The ratings weren't great and FS1 gave up on finding a SC clone. Instead, they hired the annoying talking heads ESPN already let go.Originally posted by alfablue View Post“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Re: Still Complaining About ESPN...
The reason I bring it up is that things are changing at ESPN. All of the other sports channels keep trying the talking head shows, so it's not as if they don't see an opportunity.Originally posted by aparch View Post
But over the last few years, ESPN has done a lot of dilute or remove what made SC great. So this isn't taking the classic SC on head to head- this is taking on an Entertainment Tonight version of SC on. And if there are more people out there like here- who would rather see highlights and news instead of more talking heads and massive coverage of a single sport or a biased coverage of a single conference- the opportunity is there.
ESPN is keeps walking away from what made them great, and what makes them appealing to many. Does anyone try to take it?
Right now, I'd start with the 6pm show, head to head. Just start with a half hour, even. If that works, expand on it. It's not that risky- ESPN only owns the NBA- getting coverage from other sports remains the same.Comment

One thing I thought FS1 would have been all over was trying to negotiate an additional game of the week for the NHL. Fox Sports has twelve NHL teams in the home market of of fourteen FS affiliates. Pick one of those teams playing on a Thursday and air the game.
MLB has the super-mega baseball contract with ESPN, yet allows FOX to have one game a week, and TBS (or they did) to get another game once a week.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

I liked Final Score that Fox Sports had on the regional networks 5-10 years ago. Half hour show, straight highlights and a small amount of interviews, but no human interest segments or fake Italian restaurant sets with Barry Melrose.Originally posted by alfablue View PostGo Green!
