The Deuce is good in that it provides even more ESPN Football coverage. ESPN2 allows ESPN to expand it's coverage and do a lot more. For that it gets Three Stars. The coverage itself and games are not bad. ESPN2 gets it's share of dog games, but also shows some decent ones. It's also a network where up-and-coming announcers can get experience. For what they provide, it's a good network. Scrolling scores below the screen is a good innovation.

2 didn't talk as much and this saved them from the hype trap that bit ESPN this year.
