30 for 30 series is superb overall and no other sports network has anything that's comparable. OTL is good sometimes. A lot of their reporters blow smoke most the time but there are a few that are very good and always informative like John Clayton and Adam Shefter.

I watch for breaking news, highlights, classic game replays, and of course for live games. I don't know that I would classify that as good or bad. Often I watch these segments with the sound off. I don't partake in a lot of their gimmicky shows like Numbers Never Lie, ATH, PTI anymore though.

NNL sucks...I used to like ATH or PTI, but it doesn't interest me anymore. I've never cared for first take, either

I'm calling bullshite here...schefter is a plugged in guy ONLY...he only has a job because he has connections (lost a lot of them when he left NFLN) that's it...he's in the know about breaking news...You watch for him, 99% of the time he's doing what mark schlereth or Michael Irvin is doing...analysis. And that's the thing...he sucks at that because he's such a stiff...and he doesn't know anything you and I don't already know

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnd, if you're tuning in for schefter, he hasn't broken shite since he left NFLN (glazer has worked him over for some years now)

I just don't believe you. Clayton is sparsely used (always has been) and schefter breaking news isn't something people tune in for (because 1. it's 2 seconds of air time and 2. he doesn't really break anything)

I don't believe you at all, with the exception of the NFL, this is where they're destroying the ratings...you like ESPN? it's almost a slam dunk you watch these shows.
