page 2 says espn.com sucks

2/6/2007 9:07:41 PM

i like it

the tabs are pretty easy to use, and i dont have problems navigating.

2/6/2007 9:11:13 PM

realtime is fast though

i don't know what your talking about with scores

2/6/2007 9:11:16 PM

Dear ESPN, please stop wasting your HD broadcasts on NBA games.

at least 3 NBA games were broadcast in HD yesterday, 1 on ESPN and 2 on ABC i think.

Only 1 out of the 5 college basketball games that were broadcast on ESPN Saturday were in HD, and probably one or none out of the 4 or 5 on ESPN2 were. Not to mention the ABC game, not in HD either.

I can understand having one of the HD trucks at Daytona, but having all of the NBA broadcasts in HD when there is only one in HD on Saturday doesn't make sense.

2/12/2007 11:55:16 AM

That, and doesn't college basketball beat NBA as far as ratings go?

I remember reading that somewhere, but I could be making it up.

2/12/2007 12:01:37 PM

wouldn't be surprised

its definitely more exciting than the NBA

2/12/2007 12:06:22 PM

it's definitely actually basketball, unlike the nba.

2/12/2007 12:16:40 PM

they don't play basketball in the nba, they play street ball, cause it's primarily black people

2/12/2007 3:01:13 PM

Too bad college basketball has turned into a three-point shootout.

2/12/2007 4:28:48 PM

uhh, no it hasn't

2/12/2007 4:30:19 PM

I agree, I HATE cluttered websites, thats why I have always liked yahoo a lot, they were always really clean and streamlined although here in the last few years its getting more and more cluttered

i stopped reading espn.com three years ago. most of the stuff up there is AP wire stories anyway, which I can read with less hassle on cnnsi.com . insider can go to hell.

2/12/2007 4:40:26 PM

Now they have a picture ad embedded in the ESPNEWS Headlines section. Some of the headlines wrap around onto 2 lines. It looks shitty and is hard to read/scan.

2/12/2007 6:10:36 PM

i can't remember which thread said where espn2 was changing all the logos and stuff to just espn but i think that changeover has just happened

the bottomline is now red

2/13/2007 6:40:02 PM

just go to yahoo sports

so much easier than ESPN

2/13/2007 6:49:27 PM

I predict that the NBA has better ratings, especially regular season......though games such as UNC-Duke will certainly have more viewers....but Clemson vs Va tech doesn't have more viewers than the Pacers vs the Rockets

2/14/2007 12:54:15 AM

NCAA tourney probably has better ratings than NBA playoffs.

2/14/2007 12:56:28 AM

^I would say so.

CBS paid what $6 Billion for the rights to the NCAA Tourney???

2/14/2007 1:02:17 AM

I wouldnt think 6 billion, thats quite a sum of money

2/14/2007 1:31:15 AM

He's right

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/hschein/www/readings/athletics/CBSSportsToPay.html


and i can't find tournament ratings, but last saturday NBA and College were close

2.6million for college, 2.8million for NBA

dear espn, why the hell are you talking about baseball more than college basketball when baseball hasn't even started yet, and college basketball is coming down to the most exciting time of the year

2/26/2007 8:04:23 PM

Dear ESPN,

Tell your Sportscenter crew that shouting like fucking spastic dipshits is NOT cool or funny. Please, get back to giving me sports and not wanna-be comedians.

(this is in response to tonight's top 10 plays, in which whoever was working alongside Stuart Scott -- I just flipped in -- was screaming like an absolute idiot over a baseball spring game home run)

3/18/2007 10:58:11 PM

it was kenny mayne

and thats how he rolls

3/18/2007 11:27:41 PM

^^ seriously, that had to be the worst shit ever. If that play were the play that caused the underdog to sweep the World Series, MAYBE. But a shot that cleared the wall (didn't leave the stadium if I recall correctly, not that anything he fucking said would have told me so) and was like #8 on the top 10 was just... over the top.

I wish something would pop up to compete with them.

sleik i'm disappointed in you

3/19/2007 11:19:26 AM

Why so? That shit startled me and when I watched the play later, I was like "THIS is what he's screaming about?"

Kinda like the Stephen A principle, only applied to a white guy.














oh shi--

3/19/2007 11:21:09 AM

if it weren't for kenny mayne, there would be no sportscenter

3/19/2007 11:22:02 AM

Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann would beg to differ with that comment.

3/19/2007 2:16:41 PM

Sleik, did you just start watching sportscenter in the last 3 minutes or something? That is the shit that made SC great


"BRING ME YOUR FINEST MEATS AND CHEESES!"

3/19/2007 2:29:39 PM

Craig Kilborn was great on SC before he left

3/19/2007 2:35:09 PM

I did a search for the NIT and it took me to the 2003 NIT results.

3/19/2007 3:16:51 PM

garbage

3/19/2007 3:17:57 PM

^^^^ I agree, but that kinda stuff should be saved for games that fucking matter.

My opinion doesn't change of the situation because it was Kenny Mayne; he's actually one of the better guys on the show. But last night that struck me as VERY overboard, and combined with the shitty night I'd had to that point I just needed to vent also

3/19/2007 11:34:41 PM

dear espn,

please report on real sports. i don't care if pro wrestler use steroids or hgh. no one should be suprised. the whole thing is a male soap opera. who gives a shit?!

3/25/2007 11:02:24 PM

"HOLY TORNADO"

ESPN finally did something good. They got rid of Theismann for MNF and replaced him with Jaworski who I can actually stand to listen too.
