How the **** is poker a sport? That's like putting that stupid ice road trucker show on History Channel.

Wrong: Every once in a while they have a woman announcing a College Football or Basketball game.

I know this is probably sexist, but I don't really want to hear a woman doing play by play.

Wrong- That garbage they call The NFL on ESPN Radio. They have just the most inane conversations with Eric Allen and whoever else on Sunday. About 3 minutes of every 30are game updates and the rest is just a bunch of blah blah blah. Sporting News Radio does a much better job IMO.

I liked the little league world series.


I didn't catch the MNF games the other day. How was the ESPN announcing on that?

I only got to see about 20 minutes of the game and Mike and Mike kept talking over each other. It sounded like confusion and chaos.

Wrong: Hero worship of certain athletes (see Brett Favre), 24/7 coverage means they have to fill the time by re-hashing the same story lines ad nauseum. (See Brett Favre). Overdone special-effects and the rapid-cut video editing. Berman's shtick is tired and Stuart Scott is horrific.

Right: 24/7 coverage means they are always there. English Premier League Soccer coverage. NFL pregame.

Right: Sunday Night Baseball (I like Miller and Morgan), Sunday pre-game, college BB.

Wrong: Their infatuation with the AL East, NFC East and Brett mf'ing Favre. And btw, their infatuation with east coast teams was equally annoying when I lived there.

Yin - Yang: Dick Vitale.

They have a few really good analysts like Peter Gammons, Doug Gottlieb, Jay Bilas, Kirk Herbstreit, Ron Jaworski, Tim Legler, etc.

Wrong: They employ to many ex-jocks with not enough broadcasting experience. With that said, because ESPN has so much power to nap many NFL legends, the ex-jocks attract ratings because you want to know what they have to say.
Jay Bilas is the biggest ACC/DUKE/East Coast homer in the world. He is everything that is wrong with ESPN and I would pay good money to see him punched in the face.

Right: college basketball coverage

Wrong: made-up "stories" that are presented to be relevant (who is the best athlete under pressure?....and then a 1/2 hour discussion on the meaningless topic).....meanwhile, there are countless stories that COULD be told about small market athletes doing GOOD things.....or better yet...maybe just INTRODUCING small market teams/players to the world???

Wrong: any "highlight", clip, or story that is "Brought to you by....." it seems they cant get through a story without it being sponsored by some company...

Wrong: A huge pet-peeve of mine....stop calling it ESPN2 Hi-Def when over half of what you broadcast on the channel is not in hi-def!!!!

Wrong: Either A) reset the college basketball start times for big monday.....or B) stop having the shi**y big east play right before the Big 12 game on Big Mondays.......because the hack-a-shack big east always runs late, you routinely miss several minutes of the Big 12 game.
