I've literally stopped watching ESPN. Just can't stomach their agenda in every sport anymore.

1. College hoops and the BE bias
2. No NHL on their channels = no coverage.
3. Lebron 24/7.
4. Their anchors and all reporters try sooooo hard to be the story just so they can market themselves.
5. Stephen A Smith & Skip Bayless. Need I say more.

It's really unwatchable any more. The only thing that I think is even remotely watchable is "Behind the Lines". Bon Ley at least makes it about the story itself.

Me too. Although, I still like PTI. FS1, just seems to be trying to hard. Just report sports with "Eyecandy" that's it. And I don't think that guy looks like "Sheldon" from Big bang at all.

I agree with all of that. Unfortunately, there is simply no alternative. Have you watched FS1's version of sports center? It looks like a bunch of 6th graders put it together. They simply try to be ESPN. They took everything from the bottom line, the line up on the side, and the anchors that think they are way cooler than they actually are referring to each other by nicknames.

I guess ESPN built up enough goodwill for me from 95 to 05 that I at least view them as a credible source. So, im sticking with them.

I find my local cable access and local over the air sports reporting more professional and better written / produced / than absolutely anything on FS1. FS1 embarrass themselves by not being credible, for example up until selection Sunday predicting that up to 6 BE teams were in the discussion.

Just imagine a split screen with ESPN on one side and FSN1 on the other, no comparison.

Why would anybody seriously be comparing the 2 now anyway, one's a start-up & the other is the Industry leader. In Basketball terms that's like saying put a split-screen up between Anthony Davis & LeBron James. Everybody knows LBJ is the best in the game, at the same time everyone also knows AD has the potential to be the best player in the game one day if he works hard & stays healthy. But know one who knows bball would claim AD should be better than LBJ right now.

We get it, you are a Dayton fan who is pissed you didn't get invited to the Big East. Sorry. There are better ways to deal with your grief. No need to go around making clean up work for ruechalgrin and your more respectable brethren.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
