With ESPN carrying the NFL and the NBA I doubt Fox Sports will be able to make a dent in their ratings. However, the way to kill ESPN would be to make a push for NBC's expiring NHL contract that is coming up soon and then pay through the nose for either the NFL or the NBA when those contracts are up. I hope ESPN goes under, last night I was driving home listening to Outside the Lines and they did a special on Russia, the Olympics and gay rights abuse, I immediately turned off the radio in disgust.

Fox Sports 1 seems to be going for the non-homo audience.

” they did a special on Russia, the Olympics and gay rights abuse, I immediately turned off the radio in disgust. “

that’s the only thing they;re good at...talking about fags this, gays that etc. I actually heard Cowherd say he voted for obama TWICE and keeps bitching about the Republicans in his morning shows.

Foxsports is also co-owned by MSN on web ops so there’s no difference there. They both suck.

The NBC NHL deal doesn’t expire until 2021. And NHL fans are still pissed about the Fox Glow Puck. Fox MIGHT be able to shunt some NFL games over from broadcast, but I doubt they can afford a second contract, and everybody already pays through the nose for the NFL. The cheapest current contract is the SNF contract at a “mere” $950 million a year, ESPN is paying almost $2 billion. Oh and those contracts are also all good until 2021. NBA contracts come up for renewal in 2016 though, that could be a vulnerability, but they’d probably just wind up taking TNT’s contract, nobody outbids The Mouse.
