ESPN sucks

What happened to ESPN. In the early days of Australian Rules football, you couldn't blame them for crappy content. They didn't have the resources or ability to have quality programming 24/7.

Fast forward to today. They have all the resources in the world, being part of the Mickey Mouse corporation. But flip on ESPN on any given day, and you'll be treated to Stuart Scott hosting Dream Job. Or Teammates. Or Stump the Schwab.

Rome is burning and PTI are bad enough, but at least they talk about sports. ESPN has too many networks and not enough to put on them. That's why we were treated to six hours a day of WOrld Series of Poker action.

ESPN, please. Get some spotrs on. Paintball wars or darts or even more bowling. We turn on ESPN for real reality programming, like baseball and basketball and football. Get rid of the gameshow element.
