I'd also add the amazing 30 for 30 docs. As far as news wise, ESPN sucks ! I have NBA tv,NFL Network, plus the MLB and Hockey channels if i want to get news on a certain sport.

How is ESPN the "Fox News of Sports" when ESPN has been around a lot longer than Fox News?

Every ESPN show is scripted. Reporters are told which side of the argument to be on and rarely give an honest opinion.

I enjoy a number of their programs including OTL PTI around the horn rome is burning and of course SC... all day every day...
no complaints here.
the "@%%#! in the armor" headline for Lin's poor game last night was a little rediculous and surprising coming from espn... I also don't like how they embrace stories like Tebow and Lin and shove em down your throat...
I enjoy NBATV when it comes to highlights for NBA games. so much more thorough in the 2 minutes

How is NBC's new sports channel fairing? I dont even know what channel its on. Can television companies for anti-trust/monopoly issues? If so, has it ever happened before?

Exactly. It's not even that bad; yall are tripping
Comparing a news network that pushes stories to fit their political agenda is comparable to ESPN who's only fault is that they're hella corny ??
ESPN airs what they think people are interested in. Tebowmania happened, they noticed people wanted to see Tebow, they played dude constantly. Linsanity? Same thing.
I agree the personalities suck but you do have alternatives. With technology how it is nowadays? You have acccess to every city's sports section of their main newspaper and their main sports talk radio station on your cell phones. Go cop that

First it was Favre.
Then Tiger.
Then LeBron.
Then Tebow.
Now Lin.
I'm very glad that I don't have a TV.
ESPN
I used to love you.
Then Tiger.
Then LeBron.
Then Tebow.
Now Lin.

far as the product on NBC, it's not great (I'm sure it will get better) -- but they actually discuss *gasp* sports. I've moved over to that channel if I need to catch up with a Sportscenter-esque show.

the channel formerly known as Versus. I think the official name now is NBC Sports Network.

it's amusing when dan patrick rips his previous employer (ESPN) on his sports talk radio. ESPN doesn't allow their talent's to go on the dan patrick show, but other network companies they are allow to go on.
