    How is a trio of Patrick, Wilbon and Mark Jackson anything like the TNT hoops crew?
    I actually thought the canned ESPN guys were more insightful than TNT, but with much less chemistry.

    Good Lord yes. It was like watching the security camera from a junior high bus route.

    TJ did ask Irvin if he was retarded.

    Then he ripped Irvin up one side and down the other.

    Then Berman started in, so Irvin started his perpetual blubbering. Berman stayed calm and replied, "Whenever you're done" or something like that. Classic.

    Then Ditka started ripping Irvin. It was some good stuff.

    I still don't understand the people who say there's screaming on ATH. They hardly ever scream. Now, have you ever watched PTI? Jeezum crow, all they do is yell and interrupt each other. I know that's the premise, but it's so annoying.

    aside from the screamers, berman is one of the biggest reasons the "normal guy" hates espn.

    Don't care. I haven't watched SportsCenter is God knows how long. Or any other non-game programming on ESPN.

    Gimme ESPNNews 24/7, thank you. Reminds me of SportsCenter used to be (when it was good).

    Will Saunders go over to NBC and host an NHL studio show?

    Stuey had it on the down low that the dude had an Arby Melt with extra horsey sauce.
     
  9. Beat me to it. I don't think I've sat through five minutes of sports center in the past five years. ESPN Newsis just flat-out a better product. No personalities needed through gimmics. Michael Kim delivers the news very traditionaly, and just as many people in the sports world know him than they do stewey. It can be done without gimmics.
     
  10. (The results will probably be catastrophic. His core readers - his family and parolees - liked his ghetto shtick and will probably turn away from his watered down product. And he turned off so many readers with his initial racist offerings ...)

    HIS racist offerings?
    You don't need the Enigma machine to translate your swill, either, dude.

    Never mind. I know the answer to that one.
