College Basketball baby!

I work such long hours that I get to see very little of the cable TV that costs me $50.50 per month. If it wasn't for ESPN and a couple other channels, I'd probably chuck the whole subscription. How can any male not like ESPN? I think it's a prerequisite to being an American male. If you have a penis you can't live in the States unless you watch a certain amount of ESPN each month.

What real man can live without ESPN?

I'm biased being a big sports fan. This is one of their best programming times of the year with all of the college basketball they are showing.

Barely anymore. I watch it's sister network more often. ESPN has none of my favorite sports much any more, and I strongly dislike their uncreative original entertainment.

A great place for sports!

I don't keep up with sports much. I like a good game of college football now and again, but I like to watch my own school and they arent very good (117th). I would much rather be participating than watching when it comes to sports, but to each, his own.

I watch this channel almost non- stop.What would we sports fans do with out this beloved channel?What a great idea!Your telling me there will be nothing but sports 24 hours a day???Where do I sign up?

It's great. Probably the greatest thing since air. It's also horrible, like air pollution. Like it's evil stepsister, MTV, ESPN has morphed from reporting and presenting the sports to manipulating the sports to their best interests. You want proof. Here goes: 1) ESPN SportsCenter changes the game by emphasizing very select aspects of sports which get shown over and over on the coveted Top-10 Highlights. In particular, the Slam Dunk and the Home Run are shown ad nauseum. So if Top-10 Highlights = $$$, do you think a ballplayer will try to scratch out singles or go for tape-measure homers. 2) ESPN condones less-than stellar behavior than rails against it once it is exposed. Back to the baseball, all they talk about for years and years is McGwire homers, Sosa homers, Bonds homers, and Giambi homers. Now we find that these players were allegedly juiced. Who is now screaming for justice against steroids, the shrill magpies of ESPN who winked for years as they aired home run derbies. 3) ESPN always tries to be as edgy as MTV but always cops out in the end. They hire Rush Limbaugh to analyze football, even though he is no more qualified to talk football than Jessica Simpson. Go ahead Rush, be controversial, sayeth the ESPN suits. So when Rush cracks his first rascist bomb on Donovan McNabb, they scream, Oh my Gosh. You can't say that. What we're you thinking? That's not what we wanted. You're fired, 10 seconds after Rush quotes it. Another example is they fired Tony Kornhiser from his radio show for on other reason other than that he bad mouthed his employer and would not always drink the Kool Aid the rest of the Heads were drinking. I also love when ESPN makes these series like Playmakers and Tilt which are so dreadful and so violent, they really have nothing to do with the sports they supposedly depicts and air round-the-clock (I.e., the heads scream bloody murder when Terrell Owens does his gig with the Desparate Houseskank, but show gratuitous sex on Playmakers). 4) ESPN is the grandmaster of taking a pile of duck guano and telling us It looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, therefore it's a duck. They made us believe that Poker, skateboarding, and jumping snowmobile races are sports and will air it until you submit and relent that it is a sport. But look at the treatment they gave the XFL or the Arena Football League. ESPN suits simply say: If we don't have a cut in it, it is not a sport. 5) ESPN exerts their influence for their gain. They had all their Talking Heads scream Auburn must go to the Sugar Bowl. Of course, ESPN has the contract for airing SEC games and would make a windfall if they were in the Sugar Bowl. ESPN heads must say what the suits tell them. It's a cult, really.

the only time i watch this Channel is during baseball season. any other time it annoys me.

I can't get enough of espn. Top of the line sports coverage that only seems to get better and better every year. Tons of college basketball and football games and the best sports interviews; PERIOD.
