I'm becoming more and more convinced that ESPN needs to get the next shot at airing the Olympics.


Unfortunately that won't happen until at least the 2022 Winter Games. The tape delay doesn't really bother me for prime time coverage on NBC. They do a pretty good job of highlighting the best American performances. The online and cable coverage is so much better than it was even 8 years ago.

Does Skip Bayless call the shots at ESPN? First story this morning on First Take was again Tebow-related.

I watched like 5 minutes of this today. It's funny that they kept saying it was unbelievable that Tebow's birthday was a national story. The only reason it was a "story" was because ESPN made it a story. This is one of the reasons I stopped watching this show every day. The other reason is Stephen A. Smith being on every day. I used to find him and Skip yelling at each other entertaining when it was one day a week, five days a week is nauseating, especially when they cover the same three topics every day. This show in it's current format shouldn't be more than an hour.

Seriously getting pissed off at this channel. On First Take today, again they lead with Jets. Not Felix' perfect game, not Melky's suspension, not even the Cowboys losing Whitten. The FUCKING JETS.

I don't think I've watched ESPN since last football season (other than in passing).
