Joe Buck is a great announcer in both sports. The voice of our generation

Bob Costas is awesome

Mike Greenverg is funny

Jim Rome is the funniest man alive

Dave Groehl is way overrated now


ESPN is not nearly as bad as some here make it out to be

Matt Forte is a top 5 RB and Kevin Love is the best big man in the NBA.

1 & 4 you got right. Still, you can hit better than .500. And just an awful Dunn-esque strikeout on #2.

It's not that bad. :lol: The only thing that really bothers me (outside of the laughtrack, which is like nails on a fucking chalkboard to me) is the fact that the show is supposed to be based in Chicago, but I don't think the writers know anything about Chicago, except that the Blackhawks play here. #MaybetheyshouldcalltheshowWhitey

And I will not stand down on Will Ferrel. Anchorman & The Other Guys are the two funniest movies of all time.

Greenberg is funny, agreed.
Rome is good, but overrated by his core audience IMO.
I agree ESPN isn't awful. Some of their stuff is really, really good.
Costas and Buck are awful.
I have no idea where Groehl is rated these days. I think all of his work with Foo is overrated. He's a hell of a drummer though.

Those are good. But they're entertainment. Not news.

I'd say that Sporstcentury countdown thingy they did way back when, but then they had to go and name a horse in the top-10 athletes of all time.

You win. :?

They gave Jonathan Coachman a job on TV, and also got Joe Morgan out of tv.

Down to 3.

Sportscenter is still the best plaxe for highlights
Espnews is convenient
Sometimes the hype and dramatizing enhances the event. I like my sports with a storyline
The commercials
College football coverage

I believe that motor racing-whether it's Nascar, Indy or racing involving Motorcycles or boats should all be eliminated. It wastes a ton of gas and causes additional pollution while offering nothing of substance in return.

Nobody cares what you believe because you are a proven liar.
