Solid stuff North Shore. Neil Everett (think thats his name) pisses me off too. I remember when he just showed up on Sportscenter and immediately had this, " I'm the next Kenny Mayne. You better bow to me now" type attitude. I understand confidence, wittiness, and sarcasm helped make Sportscenter great buts it toooo much.
I don't want Sportscenter anymore. I can't honestly tell you the last time I watched that show for more than 15 minutes.
Things I hate about Sportscenter......Next!
1. Every day is an hour long edition. This is not needed. Give me thirty minutes and stop acting stupid the other half of the time. This is why ESPN News is way better.
2. Stop it with the human interest stories that take up 20 minutes of your show. I don't need a Chris Connelly or Jeremy Schapp story everyday. Once a week, more than fine. Put that on the Sunday show...which reminds me.
3. Cut the freakin Sunday/Monday morning show down to an hour. Are you F'ing serious? An hour and a fuckin' half? That is absolutely insane. My god, I just want to catch what happened in the Tigers-Blue Jays game and I have to sit through this shit for God knows how long to get 30 seconds of highlights and stats so Sean Salisbury can do a Budweiser six pack of his fantasy sleepers on the year...which by the way, I don't give a shit what Sean think fantasy football wise. There are much better people, including 20 of us on the baords, who could predict that shit as well as him.
4. Bring back the highlights please. Sometime I think they even forget to report on every major sport's game from the night before. Stop making your show a way to see how many ESPN emplyees can get on an episode telling us things that could happen or they'd like to fantasize about happening. How about what did happen?
5. Fire idiots. Stu Scott, Neil Everett, etc. Control others: Berman, Irvin, Salisbury...
Great post Ryan, I couldn't agree more. The only time I ever put Sportscenter on is to catch a score on the crawl, and that can take 20 fucking minutes. It seems like every anchor is just trying to get themselves over, all while trying to come up with the next "big" catchphrase. I blame that douchebag Olberman and to a lesser degree Kilborn and Mayne. Now every anchor seems to think we are interested in their "unique" personality. I'm not. The whole cute, witty, smarmy, aren't I cute, too cool for the room shtick is so played out. You're not curing cancer you self-important pricks. You're an above-average looking, haircut passing for a man/woman, who reads words of off a teleprompter. Just give me the fucking scores, and quit getting high off of your own supply.
