Does Anybody Else find ESPN Annoying?

ESPN was a good source of info in the old days. Now it's just glitz and glamor. If you want info it's all right here. Thanks Halo.

Another example how espn sucks now, according to them (Darren smith) it's a bold prediction for the reigning champs to go on a run and win the NFC South,what a joke?

We turned off DirecTV 2 years ago. No cable, no satellite. Just an antenna on the roof and Netflix.

We have never regretted it. We watch Netflix streaming using the Internet and a Samsung Netflix enabled DVD plus we watch the DVD's. The only commercials I see are during football games. Saints games I watch at the bar with 100 of my fellow Saints fans. I watch a few other football games using the antenna at the house.

My DirecTV bill is now my bar tab for Saints games at the bar and I never spend it all.

No ESPN. I think ESPN is the male version of Oprah, Maury Povich, and Jerry Springer. I travel a lot and get exposed to ESPN in restaurants and bars and quite often I have told the waitress to turn off the volume or I was leaving. Only an addle-brained dimwit could watch the afternoon ESPN lineup and derive enjoyment from it.

Dammit, Gump, You are a Damn Genius!

Why wont my wife agree to do that. I dont need cable. I dont watch Dancing with the stars, Fat People Getting Yelled at, or any of the crap on TV now. 98 of the 100 channels on my cable are GARBAGE. I have about 8 channels of nothing but the most idiotic people they can possibly find in Houston.

Nothing like paying somebody 60 dollars a month to make you fat, lazy, and stupid, not to mention their 24 hour assault on the character of my kids.

I can watch the road games at the bar. Home games I'm in the Dome.

Gumbeau has the best answer yet. Forget TV.
