Does Anybody Else find ESPN Annoying?

God yes. NFLN or nothing.

I don't watch any of them. They bring nothing to the table. If I want to watch anything I go to NFL.COM and click on videos, then select Saints.

Thats cool Lynwood. I think, and just my opinion The NFLN does a great job as well Sirius NFL Radio. ESPN is just hit and run.

They are all going the way of "sports entertainment", instead of "sports news". I'm waiting for them to start announcing Monday Night Raw results soon.....

So this morning I turn on Sportscenter and Behrman has his 2 Minute Drill segment. The topic is 3 QBs who are carrying their teams because of multiple injuries.
First he talks about Aaron Rogers. Fair enough. Then Phillip Rivers. Makes sense. Next up: Drew Brees. Now we're talkin!
He immediately talks about a Dallas rookie CB and all the great plays he made against the Giants the week prior. Then he goes into a segment about the San Fran Baseball Giants because their 2nd baseman has the same name as the aforementioned Dallas rookie CB. How freakin clever!
Not one word about Drew or the Saints! He managed to turn it into a piece explaining away the Dallas loss without mentioning the team that won!

why? Why? Why? do I do this to myself?

Thanks for posting the SM. I feel exactly the same way...well, I'm tired of Berman's tired act, but in my opinion the last time ESPN was worth a crap was when Oberman and Patrick were hosting Sports Center. It's hard to watch. I can tolerate their website some, but mostly I just come here.

well they already cover Tattoo Fighting (MME), which I dont consider a sport anymore than
a chainsaw attack.

GREAT CANDLESTICK PIC, SP!

Thank goodness for Sirius satelite radio and the NFL channel there. They make espn look like the bunch of morons they really are. Only Adam Scheftner makes intelligent comments on espn. Watching espn for sports news is like watching reality shows for reality.
