re: Sportscenter ratings down, ESPN ratings lower across the board.

I think ESPN wanted to take the direction to become more relevant as a news station and broaden their audience. I'm not sure they meant to take it to the point where they would start alienating even their biggest supporters over the years, but I feel like that is exactly what has happened.

What I want to know is what kind of people are actually eager to hear what Tom Brady, Bill Bellicheck, other athletes think about the Hernandez situation. Who is this news catered towards? Other than Patriots fans?
