Don't forget the fantastic "Who's Now?" crap they're doing.

That's quality programming.

As much as I hated the 50 states in 50 days recurring music, it was better than this crap. They might as well do the "Make a Wish" segment for the summer, and it'll be more productive. Nothing like seeing Bonds teach a kid how to take the Clear.

the make a wish thing is fine once in a while but it got to the point where i would have to turn the channel because i didnt want to feel all bad for those kids when i was trying to relax and watch sportscenter...save it for oprah.

I actually like the Bronx is Burning, it was my childhood...I've only caught it once though.

why don't they just play college football reruns from last year.

Watching USA and japan football now on the nfl network.

Who plays on these teams?

Butterball is fighting on ESPN Classics

You could have taken out the words "summer programming" and your thread would still be 100% right.

well i give them credit for all the ncaa football games they broadcast as well as ncaa hoops....but there programming other than that is just terrible....often i'll turn on espn/espn2 around 4pm pacific/7 eastern and both stations will have nascar stuff on....and its not like its races or something...just talking about it and showing them practicing....interviewing pit men...i personally cant stand auto racing whether its indy, busch, nascar,funny car..whatever...but can anyone really enjoy all this coverage?...it has really taken over the espn networks.

This "who is now" thing has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on TV. The concept of seeding people then actually having celebrities come in and discuss "who is now" is so sad it's absurdly amusing to see Stuart Scott embarrass himself (like he doesn't do that already).

ESPN is so full of themselves its sick. It is not about sports anymore.

2 words, NFL Network.

It's like a redux of MTV. Remember the good ol days when they actually played music? I was to young to remember.

I wish ESPN had some kinda competition.

TTinCO · Jul 28, 2007

Pan Am games is on ESPN right now-in Spanish.

Might be the 1st broadcast I've seen on there that wasn't in English. I guess we might as well get used to it.

theticket_22 · Jul 28, 2007

Que'...Donde?

MagiCap · Jul 28, 2007

I could not agree anymore. And they are slowly becoming the "MTV" of sports. I do not even watch it anymore unless a game is on.

ESPN's summer programing is the worst....
