HA!

Miguel Cabrera wins the Triple Crown for the first time in 45 years, and ESPN puts the fucking New York Yankees on the front page of their website. Yeah, seems about right.

**smmokan** · 10-04-2012, 06:10 PM

Oh, and one more.... ESPN now has Marcellus Wiley and Jalen Rose analyzing baseball (on"Numbers Never Lie", it came on before I could change the channel). They've hit rock bottom.

Yah, but it's baseball. Who watches shows analyzing baseball?

Jerry Rice is an absolute abortion as an analyst...incredible.

What is up with these promo intereviews on the SC (Liam Neeson, Buckly LeGrange, etc)??

**concretejungle** · 10-05-2012, 10:57 AM

Mel Kiper said WVU will face a good TX defense. They've given up like 67 points in their last two games.

Saw that and I was blown away. All I was there for was to see if some dude was starting in last night's football game that cbssports couldn't tell me.

Fucking Boston is in the shitter and they still hype that one sided series all year long. Fucking joke, Yankee-humpers.

I've noticed. Hell even the crappy "guru" at cbssports.com is 10x more accurate.

You'd think a network devoted to bringing you 365 days of nfl coverage would be a little more on the ball. Who knows maybe they're too busy covering LeBron's shoe drama or what red carpet event the winner of the Voice is attending.

Meh. In the next year or two Cabrera will test positive for PEDs. Then he'll get on the front page.

Wanted to see some coverage of tonight's Reds/Giants game over lunch so I turned on SC.

What a fucking mistake. I got not one but THREE Yankees stories, two on A-Rod and where he should bat and one on how the Yanks are still favored over the Os.

Then I got the obligatory 25 minutes of NFL coverage (not including commercials) and even an 8 minute feel-good story about the unborn baby troubles a TE from Carolina is having. (vibes buddy)

Then I got a really, really interesting 5 minute piece on how one can make the argument that LeeeBron will be better than Jordan - and the accompanying circle jerk debate that ensued.

Don't forget the super interesting piece on the new Brooklyn Nets arena...

Followed by another circle-jerk about Sanchez v. Tebow.

It wasn't until a little over an hour from when I sat down for lunch did I hear mention one about the game that is actually happening today.

What a fucking joke this network is. They're not even trying to hide that they don't care about sports unless it falls under the 'entertainment news' umbrella and if they do want to talk sports it had better be about the Yanks, Nets, or Jets.

What's shitt is NBC's "sports" network is little better and I sure doubt that when Fox is done turning Speed into Fox Sports One that'll be any better either. Who watches the bullshit drivel? 5 hours of gameday? Who turns in?

**smmokan** · 10-09-2012, 01:24 PM

It's been said before, but for any baseball coverage, tune into MLB Network. They have shit dialed in over there.

**BmillsSkier** · 10-09-2012, 02:37 PM

I haven't really had a chance to check out NBCSports aside from during the Olympics, and I tried to get the bartender at the restaurant I was at to turn it to MLB network but they didn't get it.

Didn't know Fox was turning speed into a different network. Interesting.

I can't watch 8 hours of (insert talking head here) spewing shit pregame or post game. I like a good preview, tell me how the weather is, what the lineups are, who to watch for a big game etc. and at the end, give me a good recap of the game. This used to be the format, now it's fucking Bravo/E!TV for steroid users.

**sidewall** · 10-09-2012, 05:21 PM

I miss Erin Andrews. She's annoying on Fox, the way she orders Joey Harrington and Eddie George around.

Great fucking question. I get it that the US if NFL-crazy, but jeebus, people - do we/they need that much oversaturation of all things NFL. Good God, if that's the only going for them in their lives that they need 5 hours of pre-game; they need to seriously re-evaluate their life. I can't stand any of Chris Berman, let alone five hours of his ill-timed breathing and shitty delivery.

**concretejungle** · 10-09-2012, 08:57 PM

I will give them credit for 30 for 30.

**smartyiak** · 11-25-2012, 07:57 AM

Bump for non-stop Notre Dame coverage up to Jan 7 at 7:59:59p.m. I was particularly nauseated by this mornings mandatory tear-jerker.

Well it's been good lately if you're a Cornell basketball fan. Which I'm not, but hey.

**WWCD** · 11-26-2012, 11:50 AM

Sports center reported Fireman Ed is quitting because Jets fans can't get along over wanting Sanchez or Tebow as their starter.

The fall continues.
