BRISTOL, CT—Cable sports network ESPN aired a special hour-long SportsCenter of silence yesterday from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. in honor of recently fallen New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The episode was ESPN's highest-rated broadcast since October of 1999, when anchor Kenny Mayne did an entire episode of SportsCenter in complete silence for reasons that remain unclear.

If only the made up news could actually be real!! I would be dreamy!

What do you watch for daily sports news and highlights?
I'm not fond of most of the on air people at ESPN, but I couldnt live without being kept uptodate on the sports world.

I'm the same:
Totally done with ESPN since overthetop spygate

No CNNSI.com - (DrZ and Peter King)
No ESPN.Com - (****** Easterbrook)
No "Inside the NFL" on HBO - (Mr. FlipFlop Collinsworth and Costas)
No Herald (Tomasse-hole)

boston.com I read (of course due to Mr. Riess)

I don't even watch sportscenter, or any of the pregame shows. Can't handle the extremism anymore man.....everything is either the best ever or the worst ever....

The truly sad thing, though, is that such a SportsCenter would actually be more useful than most episodes.

Yeah I am with you....I haven't stopped watching ESPN but there is plenty of people on there that I pay no attention to unless they are saying the score of a game.
