It’s getting harder and harder to watch anything on ESPN with the volumne on these days.
ESPN is rapidly morphing into the MSNBC of sports channels.
If ESPN is not careful, FOX is going to steal every sports program except N Korean badminton championships.
About the only thing I ever watched ESPN for anymore was "Baseball Tonight" and "Monday Night Football." Then, last season MLB Network started broadcasting their own "MLB Tonight" program. Plus they hired Harold Reynolds, Bob Costas and then Peter Gammons. All three are among the top ten smartest in the sports broadcasting business. And that takes into account the fact that Gammons has had a stroke. He's so professional that he gets around it. Gammons is am unapolgetic Red Sox fan, but Costas is a Yankees fan, so it balances out. Reynolds is a huge Mariners fan, which is going to help because Seattle is going to be great this year. I suspect that all three are liberals, but they are smart enough to keep it to themselves. I have probably watched ESPN the least this year of any year since it came on the air. As the NFL network contines to ramp up, I'm beginning to wonder if I will watch ESPN for anything other than an occasional college basketball game, and maybe a World Cup game.
Any you're right about Fox Sports. I started going to their website instead of ESPN.com about three years ago, because everything on the ESPN site required a subscription.
