Correction. There isnt one reason to watch ESPN but there are only two good ones A) Pretty on air talent (but then again there is much prettier women on TV and the internet) and B) for the actual live sports they show. I guess a third could be the occasional good documentary they air.

Do we watch more than that of course we do (except those who have boycotted (still havent figured out who your hurting)) but is it good TV? No but I watch plenty of non sports crap TV too so is it really that bad? Well yes it is that bad these hacks really dont bring much to the table that any above average fan couldnt bring themselves but sports talk more times than not beats out the other crap on TV.

At the gym I can watch E!SPN, Hoda and Kathy Lee, Kelly (without Regis), or the 600 club. Kelly has the best legs, but usually E!SPN gets viewed. Not because I like them, but it it is better than Kathy Lee.

The only thing I don't get about this article is the implication that ESPN's coverage of EA is something unusually unethical by their standards. ESPN has long since thrown anyway any shred of journalistic integrity they may have had 20 years ago. You need look no further than how often they shove "Dancing with the Stars" results and predictions down our throat.
