SportsCenter

I have always, and always will love, Sportscenter. The Big Show. It is the only show where you can be completely informed on almost all goings on in the major (and minor) sports, and have a least a few laugh out loud chuckles. I love the catch phrases by anchors such as Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick, and Kenny Mayne. And Mayne is so deadpan. It's hilarious. The intro is really awesome as well... "Sportscenter: NOW" Dan dan da, dan dan da.

SportsCenter has become unwatchable. This morning's 7:00 a.m. Program covered one game during the entire hour (Chiefs/Ravens). Showed highlights and talked about it four different times. No baseball (it's September and playoffs are not that far off, no Tennis (Semi Finals of the US Open). Just one game, contract issues for a Bengals player and previews of upcoming NFL and college games. Doesn't ESPN have a hundred other talk show options that I happily skip? This isn't just today. When baseball is covered, it's Yankees and Dodgers. This time last year, the Yankees were at least 10 games behind Baltimore, but we always saw Yankees highlights. Orioles would get coverage if someone hit a homerun, or Mike Trout hit a homerun against them (and that was the highlight)

What used to be a great way to start my day has become unwatchable......

Very entertaining and keeps me updated. They stick with the facts which matters in most arguments. I loved it.

Sportscenter's usefulness has gone with the appearance of the internet. As a result, the anchors, most of whom are horribly unfunny and annoying (are you listening Stuart Scott?) have had to resort to cheap gimmicks to attract viewers, rather than actually have any real sports reporting. So now, the show is for people who have no real knowledge of what sports is all about. Instead, it is for people who think sports is all about dunking, showboating, and classlessness. Oh yeah, and plenty of Michael and Tiger. I really love knowing that Tiger came in 23rd, 12 strokes behind, rather than getting any real clips of the WINNER.

I watch this show every morning it shows highlights of games and scores one time the New York Knicks won to the Philadelphia 76ers 114-112. Another time the San Diego Chargers won to the Arizona Cardinals 23-15. Or another time the San Diego Padres won to the San Francisco Giants 9-4. Another time the Lakers won to the Los Angeles Clippers 102-85. Or another time The Kansas City Chiefs won to the Oakland Raiders 20-10. Worth seeing if you like sports.
