Thats true if we didnt have ESPN we wouldn't have sportscenter. then again in baseball all they talk about is the Banks and Red Sux.

Oh Fox Sports is beginning to tick me off. every other week. they are televising either the Bankees or the Red Sux. Uh helloooo theres more than just 2 teams in the MLB.

Televised poker is 1000x better than reality TV or someother riff raff that is all over the place on TV today. The one thing I can commend ESPN for, is that they, for the most part stay away from reality TV. Obviously there are exceptions, but for the most part they have stayed away from that garbage

ESPN's website writers are just as bad as the product they put on. Anyone that knows baseball would just laugh at their power rankings this week.

While I hear your frustration, they have to show the games that pull in the ratings because that is how they get paid.

All the teams have local contracts for their local teams to show games. Outside of people's local teams, people usually only want to see the games that feature the big stars and the bigger markets so that is what they show.
