They led this morning's SportsCenter with Tebow getting off a plane. Then proceeded to show exactly 1.6 highlights per NCAA tournament game from last only to talk more about Tebow immediately afterward.

The only thing worth watching on ESPN (on TV) that isn't an actual game is College Gameday. Everything else is near worthless. Sometimes I'll hunt down an Schefter/Mortensen video, but that's about it.

The ESPN films have been good. I used to watch PTI as well. Everything else is pretty much garbage.

Is that the Cowherd show? Yeah, that's awful. I listened to Cowherd when he was local in Portland. Once he got to ESPN he got too full of himself and a lot douchey-er. Sorry man, but that show is unwatchable to me.

It's kind of amazing how similar the respective trajectories of Pearl Jam and ESPN are.
Yikes, kinda true, although I'd say Pearl Jam is aging much better than ESPN.
I can't watch SportsCenter...I'll still flip around on Sunday mornings to watch a little NFL Countdown, but prefer the NFL Network's GameDay Morning show.
