I hate ESPN as much as the next guy but they own live sports. I only have cable because of ESPN. The cable companies are in big trouble without ESPN.

And ESPN is in trouble even with the cable companies. 10 years ago, even 5, I would have agreed with you, but the cable companies have a bit of a leg to stand on. ESPN can't afford to lose anymore subscribers as it is, and starting feuds with cable service providers isn't going to help that.

Wrong. ESPN is bleeding out, right in front of us. They are constantly having to fire people and re-structure things. They are losing massive amounts of money and massive amounts of support, and no one considers them the immovable object of sports entertainment any longer; and, they will bend to the will of the consumer or they will break apart and cease to exist. It's that simple and it's that certain.
