The reality is that ESPN is terrible now. Between shows where the goal is to see who can yell the loudest, the political nonsense, and the declining quality of SC, I'm pretty much done with it.

Jay Harris and SVP are some of the last few good hosts of SC and they buried SVP in late night which was a colossal mistake. Now they let Stark and other really strong talent go? Crazy.

I used to watch sportscenter every morning as most people probably did. But, now you just log on thr internet and see highlights instantly.

ESPan had to change model, it was a dying breed. The loud, obnoxious personalities were just an attempt to find someone to tune in.

This is just not true. Their ratings weren't tanking BEFORE they started going in another direction. People want to sit and watch mindless TV. That is why HGTV is taking over as the most valuable channel on cable. The reality is that a huge percentage of what ESPN is airing is off putting to a vast swath of the population.
