Bashing ESPN is Old News

I often read comments about how ESPN is awful. People bash them for having stupid gimmicks or bad analysts or for trying to create angles that aren't really there. Heck i fall in this trap often, i want ESPN to do a better job and they certainly can. However the constant bashing of ESPN is really really old news. We get it ESPN has flaws, but one thing remains... it's still the world wide leader in sports.

If you want to catch the NBA or NFL draft, where are you looking to? If you want to watch an MLB game when your team isn't playing on a Monday who are you looking to? That's right ESPN and I'm certainly glad it's them rather then other options like Fox. If you're fed up with ESPN feel free to turn to the "Best Damn Sports Show Period." With a title like that it's gotta be good!!!!!!

Is this who's now gimmick something most sports fans should care about? probably not. It's simply an attention getting gimmick, but lets be honest with ourselves, it's July. In July apart from baseball the biggest sporting event is Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The NBA and NFL drafts are over, the NFL hasn't even started training camp. The MLS is in full affect, but soccer is played once maybe twice a week and a good portion of the country unfortunately doesn't care about it. So if you're part of a 24 hours sports and entertainment network you're telling me you don't have time for a debate as inane as Who's Now? Yes they could spend mooooore time talking about the NFL or maybe add some cricket coverage, but otherwise i don't really see the problem in having this debate. thousands of people vote every day so someone must care.

I'd love to have a better option besides ESPN, but lets remember they are not in fact Satan.
