I should start a dissertation on why the station sucks. Instead I'll make a list, and you can tell me agree or disagree.
1) Stuart Scott- He has to be the most annoying 'anchor' they've ever had. Between the nicknames (I loved on the teammates quiz show when the Arizona players told him Larry Fitzgerald hates being called Fitzy), the stupid sayings, and his lack of football insight while being on a football show, I'm sick of him.
2) Classic horse races, golf, billiards, and anything else random... With all the amazing sporting events that have happened over time, with all the constant news reports, sportscentury programs, and everything else they've shot footage of over the past 20 something years, they still show classic-horse races? It's like MTV finally showing a music video and they make it one by Winger.
3) Chris Berman announcing Baseball, the guy sounds like he's announcing golf, constantly whispering as if his prediction "they might go with a fastball here" is really going to tip someone off if they hear it.
4) Mike Greenberg. Seeing that dork on sportscenter is bad enough, but hearing him talk-up NY teams on mike & mike is even worse. He ridicules the Marlins but the Jets suck for no reason... there's no pay cuts w/ the Jets, they just plain suck. They are a disgrace to the NFL, so how can the Marlins be one to the MLB. They've won multiple series with a payroll equal to what A-Rod makes an inning.
5) ESPN U and ESPN Classic are impossible to get. I've tried to get ESPN U and my cable co. doesn't carry it. and ESPN Classic always comes in a package with 3 FSN's or something I already have. With all the dead time on ESPN 1 and 2 that makes them play 4 sportscenters in a row and 3 straight hours of cold pizza, followed by billiards or the spelling bee from 1994, they should put some classic games in there.
lastly, FSN and CSS are much better channels, I wish my cable co. had CSS their Sports Talk show is good and they show football spring games, the ACC and SEC baseball tourny (ESPN ignores college baseball) and even high school games from time to time. ESPN needs to take a page out of their book and drop the obscure sports (and non-sports) and start programming something people want to watch.
and tell sportscenter no one wants to hear another dashboard confessional similie.
