OT: Other Networks Attacking ESPN: Ratings Declining, etc

[IcyPatriot]

I just dubbed my 1985 SB20 tape onto DVD and it is fascinating the difference
between the announcers today and then (Merlin Olsen & **** Enberg) along with
the game presentation. The quality of the analysis and the game presentation
were outstanding (even if we did get our asses kicked from one end of the
field to the other). When is the last time you actually saw the teams swap
out defenses and offenses on the field instead of going to a commercial?
There were plenty of commercials but none that intruded on the game except
for one instance where they came back late from a punt and they missed the
kick. Other than that it was good watching football (except for the losing thing
that is!). They did have a few douches (Pete Axthelm, Ahmad Rashad, Bob
Costas, and Bob Griese) who managed to make the broadcast less appealing
but for the most part they were an insignificant part of the team (except for
Costas.

I miss Howard Cossell.

Now, see, for me I would have said MSNBC, and that rabid, spittle-flecked lunatic Olberman. :disagreement:

But the rest of it, yeah. I agree.

i hate olbermann he is the biggest jackass on network news, and that is saying something! i agree that espn has taken a page out of cable news to speculate and beat us over the head will BS stories and agenda
