I read somewhere that the head of the NFLN was formerly a top executive at ESPN, so as long as he is in charge I would expect no change; the NFLN is just going to be a football-only version of ESPN; ESPN Lite if you will. It's really unfortunate because when plans for the NFLN were first announced I anticipated a genuine difference in style and content.

Reading a chosen article vs. being yelled at loudly by 3 "analysts" trying to fill TV time are two different things.

There are also no commercials preventing me from finishing a print article in a couple minutes.

I never said I boycotted ESPN as a whole, simply that I rarely watch their channels because I don't enjoy them. The ESPN book that came out recently was a very enjoyable read.

You're right and I was thinking of that when I posted this, ESPN I haven't tune into in years and I'm starting to realize that NFLN is the same thing minus the other sports. Time to turn them both off permanently. The NFLN could and should be so much better than it is.

Mushnik's just a tired old crank. He hates everyone.

I honestly don't know what people expect from ESPN. I look to the channel for highlights, and get them. As for the rest of it, who cares.

espn is crap. I pulled the plug on them after spygate. The ONLY tie I have watched them since is during the draft, or when the pats are on and i have no other options.
As for "sports news", I don't care. I don't care about other sports. I get my pats info right here, that's all I need.
