SportsCenter

This sports news show has now been going for over two decades, and shows no signs of slowing down "SportsCenter" seems to be staying for good. You name it when you want to know anything about sports of any type tune to this day or night. I know ESPN reruns enough of these shows over and over during the mornings and during the day, but hey this is the networks bread and butter, so a viewer has a chance to catch something if they miss it right off. The reporters and anchors are some of the best and most knowledgeable in the business that is well evidenced in Chris Berman, Charlie Steiner, and Brian Kenny. Some of the female anchors are colorful and talented you can notice that so well in Robin Roberts and Linda Cohn. So if your a sports buff making "SportsCenter" apart of your week is a must.

Sportscenter's usefulness has gone with the appearance of the internet. As a result, the anchors, most of whom are horribly unfunny and annoying (are you listening Stuart Scott?) have had to resort to cheap gimmicks to attract viewers, rather than actually have any real sports reporting. So now, the show is for people who have no real knowledge of what sports is all about. Instead, it is for people who think sports is all about dunking, showboating, and classlessness. Oh yeah, and plenty of Michael and Tiger. I really love knowing that Tiger came in 23rd, 12 strokes behind, rather than getting any real clips of the WINNER.

Very entertaining and keeps me updated. They stick with the facts which matters in most arguments. I loved it.

I watch this show every morning it shows highlights of games and scores one time the New York Knicks won to the Philadelphia 76ers 114-112. Another time the San Diego Chargers won to the Arizona Cardinals 23-15. Or another time the San Diego Padres won to the San Francisco Giants 9-4. Another time the Lakers won to the Los Angeles Clippers 102-85. Or another time The Kansas City Chiefs won to the Oakland Raiders 20-10. Worth seeing if you like sports.

SportsCenter has become unwatchable. This morning's 7:00 a.m. Program covered one game during the entire hour (Chiefs/Ravens). Showed highlights and talked about it four different times. No baseball (it's September and playoffs are not that far off, no Tennis (Semi Finals of the US Open). Just one game, contract issues for a Bengals player and previews of upcoming NFL and college games. Doesn't ESPN have a hundred other talk show options that I happily skip? This isn't just today. When baseball is covered, it's Yankees and Dodgers. This time last year, the Yankees were at least 10 games behind Baltimore, but we always saw Yankees highlights. Orioles would get coverage if someone hit a homerun, or Mike Trout hit a homerun against them (and that was the highlight)

What used to be a great way to start my day has become unwatchable......
