"Welcome to SportsCenter everyone, thanks for tuning in. Even though the Colorado Rockies just came back to win in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs from being down by 20 to the Kansas City Royals, those are small market teams, so we're going to start the show off by talking about what each New York Yankees player did on their day off today. So here we go. Derek Jeter...."

That's my impression of SportsCenter during baseball season. Ugh.

I agree because i get tired of them talking about the PHILLIES all during the show. And during football season, they only talk about the BIG MARKET TEAMS. They didn't even talk about the Packers because of being in a small market like Green Bay

Just the Eagles, Pats, Giants Jets, and Ravens

I can't stand SportsCenter anymore, used to love in when I was younger in the 90's and early 2000's. Its turned into a horrible product for a number of reasons in my opinion.
SportsNation is enjoyable. The specials like Magic's Announcement are good.

SportsCenter serves its purpose in getting the news out. At times they super saturate certain news stories.

The SportsCenter at 6pm is more watchable and fun to watch instead of the 11pm and 1am Sportscenter but I;m not sure why. I have to look closely at this tonight and figure out why

PTI is probably my favorite show..
30 for 30 is a good series.
Both the NFL Network and ESPN had over 3 hours of NFL Schedule stuff last night. STUPID. Just give me the schedule and go away.. what a joke.

I had to stop watching ESPN because I got tired of nothing but east coast big market homerism 24/7 going on. During baseball season they might as well be an affiliate of the Phillies because they root for them all year long. And if they're not cheerleading for Philly they're rooting for the Yanks or the Red Sox. Don't even get me started on football season. It should be renamed NFC East News Network.
