I watch it for games and Around the Horn, maybe some PTI every now and then. But as for Sportscenter, it has gone down the same road MTV has. Once a show known for HIGHLIGHTS, it is now full of bullshite opinions of various people's opinions brought to you by an assortment of sponsors.
but don't you think times have changed? I mean 15 years ago we could barely see any games. Now we can see any and every game and every single highlight on youtube. Why do i need to watch sportscenter to see a highlight?

Now, it's basically a massive marketing tool, ala MTV (as someone else noted). This really saddens me.

And you make a great point, for the most part when I want to see highlights, I'll either go to my favorite team's website or youtube, but still, I'd like to see highlights of OTHER teams all together at the same place without having to get on the internet.

Or am I in the minority of sports fans that do like the 24 hour sports network? And if you hate it so much what would you change? We already know that no one on here seems to like them the majority of their stories on the biggest topics or the teams that draw the most ratings (why a TV network would do this is beyond me) So what else should they change
I really have no problem with ESPN, Just some of the Baffoons on there. But a majority of LSU fans on here don't like ESPN cause they won't suck LSU'S BALLS!!!! Which is sad.

Personally I like Fox Sports. They have some great talent instead of just ex-coaches and ex-players and other so called "experts". Their reporting seems to be a hell of a lot more solid and they don't try to MAKE news, which is my biggest beef with espn. If Fox would just stop trying the regional bullshite and go national they would be better, the regional crap just spreads them too thin.
