I don't mind them sticking to more national stories, they can't really compete with local sports coverage anyway. Everytime they do give a little token coverage to the Chiefs or Royals I find myself embarrassed by how little they know. That being said, they still have cover national sports stories with some actual substance.

It seems like they don't understand their audience. I don't care what clothes NBA players are wearing before the game, and the kind of people who do care probably aren't watching ESPN.
