Since this turned into a ESPN gripe session, I'll add one...
I taped the FSU/Wisc. game they repeated at 3am the other night because I was away for the holidays and missed it when it originally aired 12/27/08.
When I examined the tape later, they chopped what they apparently considered meaningless plays out of it to fit the 3am time slot. Excuse me, the 3am time slot? WTF! The first quarter alone lost 12 minutes of game clock. I don't care if nobody scored on the early drives, they are important because it sets the tempo for the rest of the game. (BTW, they still include commercials.)
Imagine watching only 60-70% of your favorite movie that someone else edited down to show you what they thought you wanted to see. How the drama unfolds is a major reason why some football games are considered "classics." If you are going to re-air a football game, show the whole thing. Thanks for nothing ESPN.
