I know it's been addressed and discussed ad nauseum around these parts, but today has sent me over the edge; I loathe ESPN. I was subjected to and accepted wall to wall coverage of the Bellicheck decision for the last two days, but this is worse. All day long, and I mean all day long, ESPN has been discussing what Lebron would be like as a football player. They've dedicated segments and dragged out their supposed "experts" to debate it. I can't take it.

The worst thing that happened to us sports fan was the demise of Fox Sports' attempt at a national show. Sure we would have had to suffer through Van Earl Wright, but damn; at least we would have had a choice.

Hey, they gotta fill 24 hours. Do you want to hear more scores? I miss stump the Schwab.
ESPN needs to come up with a couple of new shows.

ESPN turned me off when they went over-the-top when Brett Favre got dealt to the New York Jets a year ago.

I, like many others I assume, constantly check ESPN throughout the day. I just couldn't get away from it, but I guess that's what happens when one only has Encore as their premium channels.

Will ESPN and/or ABC go over-the-top when Jimmie Johnson clinches his 4th straight Sprint Cup title Sunday at the Ford 400 in Homestead, FL, regardless if he even takes the checkered flag?
