I just dont want to watch it anymore. Tired of sensationalism and biased reporting. I want other networks to spring up.

The putt putt championship back in the day was a favorite of mine. Seriously. Agree with rugby, they need to get some of the rights to show international matches, like tri nations.

I liked it when they had the original Extreme Games.

You had:

Water Ski Jumping and Slalom
Street Luge
Rock Climbing
Inline Street Skating (intervals and laps around a city)
Wind Surfing

They also had the Lumberjack Games or something like that. Those were wild when they had log rolling and stuff.

The old Barrel Jumping on ice that was on WWS in the 70s would be a good one as would be Ice track Motorcycle racing.


I kind of wished they would take ESPN2 back to what it started out as.

They used to have the Madden Challenge show on ESPN. I loved that show when I was a kid.

NBC sports network. They blow espn out of the water in terms of coverage. Great pre and post match and the coverage is top notch.

Because playing video games automatically makes you a virgin XD lots of old farts and men who just can't go a night without watching other big sweaty men contact each other in some fashion.

I love sports and I don't consider video games a sport, but it was a nice feature and interesting to watch. Also, how many other ESPN channels were their to watch besides that one?

They should rebrand ESPNews as ESPN International with the goal of showing live sports from around the world as much as possible.



I have no idea if that makes business sense but sounds cool to me.

I mean, they have a bunch of stuff they only run on ESPN3 that people who know Rugby and Cricket for example watch in good numbers. Put it on TV where more people will be exposed to it versus running SportsCenter on loop 90% of the time. Live sports draws eyes.

More international sports. Mainly football (soccer), rugby, cricket, hockey and polo.

Would also like to see more extreme sports highlights such as surfing and skateboarding.

Rugby for sure, awesome sport and those fools be psychos. I was in Fiji for a couple months last year playing with some squads and mother of god those guys are gazelles. Every damn person on the pitch can fly, regardless of size. Their creativity is also insane. It's the creativity of the "beautiful game" for the soccer folks with the psycho hits for football fans. Really wish it would catch-on here.

A good chip and chase is maybe my favorite play in sports.
