re: Some good sports TV news: ESPN is losing subscribers

Incorrect. Fox Sports and NBC Sports are waiting in the wings for those contracts to come due - with the subscriber rate falling that means the other two will have a little leverage against ESPN

Yup - and to add to this: ESPN has gotten way too much into the editorial and away from the reporting that they used to do. People are tuning out because they don't want to be pitched the same freakin' narrative all day long. The product has declined, and has been in decline for about 7-8 years.

Need less: discussion about Roger Goodell / Ray Rice / BCS Sucks lets replace it with another flawed system / Redskins name

Them having less viewership is good for Fox and NBC; it's a zero-sum game.
