Fox Sports 1 Update

it's funny- it seems so backwards- having more of the better games on Big Fox- you would think that would hurt FS1- but I think in some ways it helps. Because if a person is watching a Big East game on Big Fox- they're seeing ads for the Tuesday night Big East game on FS1 as well- featuring one of the teams they're watching today on Saturday.

Yep, something that might have helped with FS1's Copa coverage.

FS1 has chosen its partner for Skip Bayless on his new show: Shannon Sharpe. To me, this has the potential to be the worst sports show of all time. Have no respect for either of them really, but especially Sharpe. One of the biggest Twitter trolls out there. Does FS1 really think people are going to watch Sharpe ramble on about NBA, MLB, NHL, college bball, etc.? Why would I care about his opinion in sports he has no idea bout? Haven't they learned from their original Fox Sports Live debacle? To me this is a horrible decision.

I'm a big fan of Speak for Yourself at 5pm ET with Cowherd and Whitlock on FS1.

I think it's a good show as well although 1 hour is kinda long...

well at the all star break- Fox looks like they're going to have a decent NL playoffs this year.... Not quite as great as last year for Turner where they had New York, LA, Chicago, and St Louis- but still quite possible to have Chicago and New York or LA involved. And Washington/San Francisco. But the Marlins/Cards/Pirates are lurking to possibly knock out New York and Los Angeles. And the Cubs are really struggling(to me, that would be the ko blow)

Turner not looking at a great bunch either.... Baltimore/Cleveland/Texas for division champs- and WC right now would be between Boston/Toronto. A Toronto win and you have a group maybe even worse than what fox had last year....

Only you think this is an actual important thing. It's the playoffs. People are going to watch and the ad spaces are sold long before the season is over and the field is set. It doesn't matter if Miami gets the lest WC spot over NY. The ratings don't matter because they will still be higher than any scripted show that night. They might be lower than previous years but still very high.
