For the most part I have not noticed anything different that way about ESPN. It does not seem to have any more commercials than what is normal. The sports coverage that they do they do very well & very proffesssional no matter what sport they happen to be broadcasting at the time. They still have sports news, & they still have continuous scores/results posted along the bottom of the screen, so still a good source for sports information. Best of all they cover NHRA Drag Racing. Motorsports are the wave of the future in sports entertainment. Motorsports are generally much more exciting than most stick & ball sports. Drag Racing is my favourite sport & the reason we here pay for the ESPN combo subscription. The only problem I see now is that they are airing overtime etc. on games now where they used to just update on it, interfering with already scheduled programming. There is no need for this on a channel like ESPN. I espescially don't like the Drag Racing coverage to be interfered with. They are the best when it comes to filming Drag Racing. I would like to see them have more respect for Drag Racing as a legitimate sport, & have even more coverage. NHRA POWERade coverage should be on ESPN 1, with the other NHRA coverage remaining on ESPN 2 along with the show "NHRA2DAY". Any coverage of NHRA Sports Compacts, Super Chevy Shows, etc. should have more round by round race coverage the way they do with the pros on the POWERade series, perhaps in adition to what they already show, in other words the race coverage should be the main aspect of the show instead of just showing a brief rundown of the on track action. They could even expand into regional/divisional race coverage on the various local ABC channels in each divisional region of NHRA. ESPN is very proffessional most of the time but they are not perfect. Then there is TSN (The Sports Network), ESPN's Canadian channel. For some reason they show WWE wrestling, which is more showbusiness than proffessional sport. That is what is wrong with some ESPN coverage of certain race events when they are showing everything at the event but not much of the actual racing. Perhaps those are examples of commercialism, but ESPN really isn't much different than it ever was I think. Supercharged Steve Currie IHRA T/D # 3108.

My guy is Morgan Shepherd and he replaced into extra constructive in the early 90s. So I enjoyed watching him on ESPN returned then yet i need to be biased when you consider that he replaced into extra constructive returned than. the two way Nascar in basic terms felt extra family members appropriate and made me sense nearer to the sport in the 90s and Nascar bolstered that feeling. Now that's a collection of company stuff. I believe the single that pronounced Jenkins would desire to be the main guy and Jerry Punch in the pits, they have been a great duo

No,
But Again I hate it that they have Monday Night Football now. For some reason every since ESPN took over MNF I have a way of missing the first few minutes of the game.

ESPN is still my favorite sports station. I could watch that channel all day long if i had the time. . . . The MNF is what gets to me. I dont know why ESPN had to broadcast it. MNF got more viewers when it was on ABC. . . Not everyone has cable, but everyone does get their local station.

The biggest failure of ESPN is taking Berman and company off of NFL primetime. That was the best football highlight show on TV. They are becoming too commercialised and focusing too much on the business aspect of sports. Report it how it is and get off the gossip and business crap!!!

It used to be fun to watch when that ***** kid stewart was kicking all the trash but he got too big for ESPN. ESPN is for queer sports now like men in speedos playing volleybald

I think it informs me of a lot of information about sports. Sometimes I watch just to later have something to say to my boyfriend that he is really interested in. He is blown away when I speak of anything sport-ish. :)
