Canceling their daily highlight show FOX Sports Live. This network had so much promise to be a legitimate alternative to the Mothership but they have fallen down by wayside and conforming to "Embrace Debate." Just a shame.

Hoping it was going to be a more serious way to get my highlights without all the yucks and catchphrases, but sadly it was a bunch of 'comediens' delivering the news, or a bunch of screaming talking heads who think they're funny.

If true, feel bad for Jay and Dan, those guys shite on anything SC has aside from Bucci.

From what I read they'll keep Jay and Dan in some capacity, I thought they were ok for the most part, maybe a little too much on the comedy side though

They aren't outright cancelling it, just changing the format heavily according to that article. It even states that jay and Dan will likely have a role in the new iteration of Fox Sports Live.

Like Lester always says, FS1s personalities are and always will be second rate

They did such a good job of countering ESPN's ridiculous antics. Just kidding, their two main guys do everything in their power to sound and act like wrestling announcers.

Seriously, who's idea was that?

What the absolute frick? He's the 2nd most awesome ESPN personality. There is nothing better than a late night Sports Center where Bucci is just winging the frick out of it. I watch SC maybe once per month, and he's the only reason.

ESPN should do a Sportcenter every night on ESPN Classic like they did back in the 90's complete with full box scores.

Hard to compete when you are on channel 287 on every dial and nobody can even remember the channel exists most of the time.

They went with the same model as SC, which is what is sinking their ratings. How about a solid sports highlight show that goes over all the day's games and talks about them. You know, like SC used to be.

FS1 can't compete with ESPN by providing the exact same product with unknown personalities. Stupid plan.

As long as they keep showing Bundesliga and Champions League I don't care. Feel like they should've had Dan Patrick or someone really established if they wanted to truly go after sc

Only in the minds of those who hate ESPN and jizzed themselves at the possibility of another channel.
