Sportscenter

[wahpuh]

Is it just me or has sportscenter become 1 big commercial? The Budweiser Hotseat etc etc

I usually watch sportscenter before I go to work and must agree with you. between the commercials and the meaningless interviews, it's amazing they report the scores/highlights at all.....

Much like MTV, ESPN has lost their focus...

I get more information about auto parts than I do about sports on sports center.

I am not sure they have lost their focus because much of their info is still quite good, IMO but they are going over-board with sponsers.

I bet you can pinpoint all of the changes to when Disney/ABC took over.

ESPN/Sportscenter is obsessed with itself, and seems to be nothing but a bunch of Chris Berman/Craig Kiborn/Dan Patrick wannabes. I don't even bother watching it, except maybe occasionally during their sunday night NFL coverage/rundown during the fall. They used to be a good source of hard sports news and analysis, but it's all about themselves now.

IMHO, the worst thing about Sportscenter besides the commercials is all the cutsie sayings they come up with. They try to be clever and end up just saying sarcastic drivel.

What was once a must watch for me is now a never watch because of all that.

You can thank Ken Oberman for the cutsie sayings. He was the first to do it, along with Dan Patrick.. .back in the early 90's. Ken was a genious at it, unfortunately, so now all the wannabe's want to follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately, they dont add up.


SportsCenter, IMO, went down hill when they decided not to pay their best anchors what they were worth... so they left to other networks.
