Making us miss the 1st plays of the game for each team because they think it's cool to have Drew Brees, random O-lineman, Regis Philban, or some senator announce the starting lineup, while the play is being showed in some small box at the corner of the screen......I find myself sweating out the sentences, trying to hurry them up so we dont miss a play....pisses me off more and more every game, every week.

On top of that....a few weeks ago during a college game...forget who was playing....but on a critical 3rd and short late in the game they went to some broad on the sideline and she was telling a story about the team's kicker selling bracelets or some dumb object in the offseason...meanwhile we completely missed the play.

I've been tired of this for a while. I miss the days where they just put the names and numbers on the screen. I don't need all the other crap.

Another thing they do is when they cut and make the game smaller so they can have an ESPN guy in the studio show everything thats happening on all the other ESPN channels.

I know the local channels they are on, if i want to turn to them i will. Dont cut in every half hour and show the other ESPN channels.

What Pyro said...to add to it. They break to a Sportscenter "Update" to tell us some news that happened 5 hours ago.:finger:

It's only good when they're funny...but most football players don't have a personality...let Chad Johnson do them all.

ESPN also did this for every bowl game... awful

Fox was a breath of fresh air for the 4 BCS games, put up the starting players on this gold thingy, took like 3 seconds, i'm sure you remember it. made it seem a lot more serious.

I like hearing how little they went to English class while attending their University.

I'm gonna start making a game of it. What you do is put an over/under on the phrase "WE GOT. . ." That's all I hear anyway. "At left tackle we got Joe Schmoe the Hammer Toe" etc. You have four intros, both offenses and defenses. So, how many times will the idiot doing the intros say "WE GOT. . ." So, I put an over/under at 13.5. Let's see if we go over or under next week.

Just dislike that if they are doing NFL live on a Wednesday night, they will only show NFL scores. Or if its a CBB game only college basketball scores shown.

Atleast they still show the play while the bogus intros are being done. The worst is college basketball, they are showing a replay for the 10th time, meanwhile the game is going on. awful.
