Is anyone else just sick of ESPN? I find it absolutely ridiculous that they do not spend more than ten minutes covering hockey and will spend hours on the NBA and college basketball. I do not know anyone who really follows NBA basketball and when i see the lineup of stories coming up on Sportscenter that pertain only to basketball i change the channel. We are force fed Steven A Smith and Digger Phelps every night with just over kill of hype about meaningless games while there are great hockey games with huge playoff implications on every night. ESPN in general has turned into a joke with such stories as who is the real titletown, or that stupid who's now in sports in which they had different sports stars where fans voted on who is more now. Thats OK if you compare the same sports, not put a golfer against a NFL QB or NASCAR driver against tennis pro. Lately I've become more fed up with their programing, they report stories that are not 100% factual, does anyone remember the Lane Kiffin firing story that he was to be fired every week for like 3 weeks? I'm getting off my topic here but i hope im not the only one here who feels this way. I find the NHL to be very entertaining and more worthy of being covered than any NBA game. I prefer to watch non-stop action over bullshit foul calls that make 30 seconds last 30 min.
I have the best solution for your hatred towards ESPN. Tune into Sirius Radio from 8-12 every week night, on Howard 101 ---> Scott Farrell, SHAKE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemy "favorite" thing about sportscenter now is how every segment is sponsored (the budweiser hot seat, coors light cold hard facts, bud light freeze frame, i could go on and on...) pretty soon each anchor is gonna get sponsored too ("this segment by stuart scott brought to you by the glass eye warehouse, for all your vision prosthetic needs!")
ReplyDeletemaybe because hockey is weak. Pens be smoking tha pole son.
ReplyDeleteKG in the house.
ReplyDeleteLuckily at work they have NHL network so I just watch that, but I do the exact same thing...see the story line up...NBA- NBA - WNBA - NCAA - Slap fight in the NBA - NBA -WNBA -NHL -NBA. Luckily I spend most of my day in the breakroom so I get caught up on last nights games since you can only watch 1 hockey game a night.
ReplyDeleteKG how can you not enjoy hockey, you have arguably the hardest hitting, good fights..the only thing it lacks are little half naked snow bunnies during intermissions.
id watch a Godard fight any day before a boxing match ever again. I used to rag on hockey being gay until about 3 years ago, now i cant get enough. Those guys are some tough bastards.
ReplyDeletepass, steal the puck, check, icing. faceoff. slap shot, icing, faceoff. icing, faceoff. blue line, faceoff. icing faceoff. Never been to a game. might enjoy it in person, but on tv, i can't get into it. Also sid the kid is a homo.
ReplyDeletei don't know why the nba plays 5 on 5. two guys run the offense, the other three don't even see the ball. and none of the five play defense.
ReplyDeletego to a hockey game kg. your eyes will be opened to a whole new world.
