This move by Fox Sports Network must be more than a little disappointing to our fans who were looking for a better alternative to ESPN. I always thought the ESPN production of games was superior but strongly disliked their talking heads and rude and demeaning comments about all schools who were not P5. If their new leader is the former number 2 man at ESPN I suspect we are in for much of the same BS from the Fox talking heads. In all likelihood the two networks will become more similar not less so.

In the end I think competition will make both networks better. Doesn't seem many people liked FS1's "shtick" and can't say I did either.

Who cares if FS1 is like ESPN? Last I checked ESPN must be doing something right since they are the most valuable TV channel in ALL of television! Not just sports networks, or cable networks but all of TV and it's not even close between #1 and #2.

I know.

And the thing about FS1- it's obvious what they have been doing hasn't worked. A lot of people didn't care for FS1's shtick right off the bat.

why would the new fox talking heads talk trash about schools on their own network?

It's a shame that it's a Monday night- and going up against Redskins/Cowboys(normally one of the highest rated games of the year for MNF).

Love them doing Fox NFL Sunday from there the day before. That'll be must watch for sure.

Funny that wasn't my thought at all because I don't care about the NFL, but that is true that it goes up against MNF. I was glad that it didn't fall on Championship Saturday of college football.

Stever pissing in the cheerios again

Anyway, I'm glad it is going against some random nfc east game than the patriots.

I plan on attending the game. Should be a nice couple days in the big city
