their soccer coverage is more comprehensive than espn's (excepting espn's site [that they have to brand as something else, soccernet] dedicated to it but you get my point i think)

that's just the nature of television news

lists, alerts, warnings, tickers, THIS IS IMPORTANT IN ALL CAPS YELLOW FONT

the newspaper tends to limit the graphics and colored fonts and often times by the exact same pundits..... ie read a tim cowlishaw column versus his time on ATH

"You know when i look at this football team, the San Francisco 49ers, i think. There's a team that needs to show that they belong in the national football league. They need to make a statement and if the san francisco 49ers can't make a statment in the national football league i just wonder what the coach is doing."

i dont think they want to be bill simmons as much as have his bank account

Since gawker media outlets can be written by any cynical college graduate with spell check, the pay tends to be terrible. I think most deadspin folks are haters because they werent the chosen random internet contributor to win the golden ticket.

Sports media sucks because most sports fans are idiots.

I read a few select reporters, and fir baseball watch Quick Pitch ehich does a good jon of giving just highlights (with no voiceover!).

Dan Patrick is about the only sports radio show that's even tolerable; ESPN Radio is actually even worse than SportsCebter. That's hard to accomplish.

The Onion SportsDome show brilliantly mimicked SportsCenter with the explosions and bullshit graphics, that was awesome.

Yeah but you also like dick in mouth, so that right there says a lot about your opinion.




Bill Simmons is awesome. I'm currently in the works with some other people to launch a site to go head to head with Grantland.

The Chicago morning guys on ESPN Radio are great. I haven't listened to them in a while but now that football's back in full swing I'll probably start back up again.

Always kind of boring during the summer because I just cannot bring myself to care about baseball.

I don't think he's a good play-by-play guy, but the Michael Kay show on ESPN NY is actually pretty decent.

a lot of the regional espn shit isnt bad.

Dallas's hosts are somewhat decent. NYC's arent bad. Boston's aren't bad. Not a fan of LA's. Haven't had a chance to check out Chicago's.

As bad as Mike and Mike in the Morning is, I kinda miss them now that I'm stuck with Dan Patrick and his boring-as-hell morning show on FOX Sports Radio (my local sports talk station switched from ESPN to FOX Sports about 3 1/2 years ago).

Waddle and Silvy are good. Dan McNeil in the morning on The Score is an arrogant asshole. I like Carmen, Jerko and Harry and the guys on The Score in the afternoon. I usually switch back and forth.

i can't handle carmen jurko and harry anymore. i think it's because carmen does a bad job holding the show together. and they always talk about fucking family guy and other shit i don't care about.
