I really didn't hate them when the moves where made. Now the espn coverage just tilts me. Every night they give updates and interviews to them, fuck, stop it. I don't give a shit, they are one of 28 teams. Treat them like any other team, please!

on the bottom line, they give every other team's scores, for the heat, they break down who scored. Fuck, I don't care. I care about the rockets, i want their breakdown, i don't give a shit if lebron had 6 assist.

espn is almost unwatchable nowadays. It's like one of those tabloid shows. Any time you have ed werder reporting from anywhere, i change the channel. Anytime Mort comes on, i change the channel. ed werder reports that favre, "expects to play on sunday." no shit, any athlete expects to play. And mort is just a gossip diva.

When are they gonna learn we are, or maybe just I am, sick of favre, the heat, tiger, whatever saturated coverage? I want sports coverage, not favoritism coverage or personal life coverage/commentary.

I don't follow hockey, but would rather see a hockey highlight than see someone talk about the plight of the dallas cowboys. Stop beating the shit into the ground!

I want sports, not off the field drama, when the two intertwine, like the randy moss wave, i will accept it.

This lol, op is clueless

i agree to a certain extent. the endless drama and coverage of a below average qb (now) is painful and it definitely pisses me off. however, as heavy says more people care about the heat than some random crap team like the clippers or wizards. it will be a happy day for me when he retires for real.

Get used to it.

The past 3 games the heat haven't even looked like they were trying, yet blew out teams. (albeit pretty bad teams)

The hype will just build and build and the week of christmas it will reach critical mass and lebron james will take physical form in your living room then bend you over, asking what should I do, what should I do what should I do, before ramming 12 inches of nike advertising and unrealistic goal of 70+ wins down your throat.

Get ready princess.

prediction: fadetomacs next thread will be on how American Idol doesnt cover Garth Brooks enough and they just play way to much top 40 ish

let them know fade...its idiots like these that jizz in their shorts when, gasp, lebron dunks.

c. people who love a team and sports.
d. people who hate sports.

Probably C. Which is why they show highlights of most of the games, then spend the majority of time on the team that the largest % of people care about.

The only thing you can call ESPN Sportscenter and News is repetitive. If you watch the same stuff over and over that is on you. You know damn well you will have no problem finding Breaking News on a subject and tune in if you feel the need.

And if you got a problem with Mort then WTF and and lol....

um espn caters to the casual viewer not the guy that watches espn 12 hrs a day. if you want to learn more about the rockets they have a website and theres NBATV.

this tilts me so much. i can appreciate that you dont want the heat to win. But to defaultly root for the lakers cause you hate the way the heat formed their team is just plain stupid. You do realize that the way the lakers formed their championship team is way way way way way worse and is actually against the rules. (unlike the way the heat formed) . and wtf, the celtics did the same thing the heat did 4 years ago lol

Maybe you should just go here for all your needs

NBA.com

ESPN is the nuts and you guys down there are soo lucky . TSN shows almost exclusivly hockey 7 months of the year a guy cant even get a College Bbabll update when needed

they are trying to get people who love reality shows and ET and inside edition to watch espn ldo.

love how retarded america can be

^^^^^^ sfthis. I remember when MTV launched way back when. Hell, I had MTV on almost 24-7, then they went "mainstream" I guess you'd call it and their format changed completely. Immediately I went from having it on constantly to having it on never. Same for ESPN. Long ago it was like my default station and I watched it constantly.

I still watch poker on ESPN, but now I don't watch ESPN sports news unless there's some big story they're covering on one of my teams, which is almost never. If ESPN were to sign off forever, it wouldn't even create a ripple in my tv viewing world.

If you think it's bad now, just imagine what the coverage is gonna be like when they don't win the title.
