The ONLY time I watch ESPN anymore is for live sports.

Other than that, frick that. Nothing but bias and stories I don't give a shite about.

I <3 MLB Network.

I get the highlights I care about from the local news. If anything is exceptionally worth watching, I see it on here.

SC has become full of "segments" and not a news show like it used to be

For some reason, I still watch it for College Gameday and occasionally for the CFB live, because there isn't any where else on TV that will let me soak up the college football atmosphere, even if they say stupid shite.

But ya, either than those 10 times a year, I'm not watching it besides live sports.

All this for me.

MLB Network is great. NBA TV is worlds better than ESPN. Now that the leagues have networks, there's no reason for me to watch ESPN. Their college football coverage is the only thing that's halfway decent.

I still watch College Game Day. And yes, I watch a lot of the smaller bowl games at the end of the year. Primetime games during the year are a given.

I've always been more of a fan of the NFL though. So basically, I only watch MNF. I don't mind their coverage but most of the games are shitty matchups.

Sunday Night Football is the king on NBC.

This.

Sportscenter has become a hotbed for entry level broadcast talent and it's pretty obvious that an above average knowledge/passion for the sports being covered is no longer a requirement for these people. They can't touch the analysis available on mlb/nfl/NBA networks...or even dedicated pre and post game shows available on networks like TNT or fox where sports are not their primary programming.

And it's not just sportscenter...it's especially bad for college sports programming...Dari Nowkah on college football live is a prime example, the guy knows nothing about what he's covering.
