Because we are bettors, we have to watch their network. They do a good job on some things, a not so good job on others. Here's how I feel they could improve their network:
1. The scroll or "Crawl" at the bottom of ESPN2 and sometimes on ESPN is poorly done. Way too many irrelevant scores. Get rid of the women's scores and toss out the unlined men's games. No one gives a sh-- about these games so why waste the space?
2. Ever wait for a score to come up, only for them to go to a commercial break, and then when they return, they go straight to the top 25 scores. Another big mistake. Maybe they should watch CNBC, where the stock prices continue to be scrolled even during commercials.
3. Get rid of these announcers who scream and get too caught up in the tempo of the game. When I hear this crap, I either turn the channel or turn the TV off.
4. Uninformed anchors. How often have you heard a Sportscenter anchor refer to an "upset" when in fact the team that won was favored? Happens every single day.
5. Too high an opinion of themselves. They talk about the ESPYs like they are as significant as the Oscars. Pleeeeeeze. Try and build up your own meaningless award a little more.
6. Way, way too much hype for this upcoming movie. I've never seen anything hyped so much. For what its worth, all the reviews I've heard are very negative, and John Feinstein, who wrote the book, blasted the movie.
