    I turned on Sportscenter tonight for a rare opportunity to actually watch some of the highlights from the games. What did I get? 20 minutes of drivel about TO's finger and the Redskins/Cowboys game. When Blitz was done analyzing the game, regular sportscenter decided to talk about TO's finger.

    GET OVER IT!!! TO is a media whore who obvoiusly has no love for the Cowboys. Who is the #1 receiver in Dallas? Not TO.

    The really frustrating part about the coverage is that there was probably about 10 minutes of pure repeat coverage before they even looked at another game. My guess is that the rest of sportscenter involved brining in extra experts to see the 'impact' of TO's finger.

    His name is Glenn, and he is still underrated.

    You have to admit, this injury is going to have a big impact on the Cowboys. After all, he did have 3 catches for 19 yards, along with not catching the touchdown pass thrown to him. How will we ever survive?

    ESPN is owned by Disney. So, is anyone really surprised that they do alot of pandering to whatever is flavor of the month?

    Its like E! or Access Hollywood for the intellectually challenged, easily impressed, armchair QB.

    NFL Total Access is where it's at. You usually get a lot of TO there but not near as much as you do on ESPN. It is what it is though. There isn't anything else on that talks about football except ESPN and NFL Network. Both talk TO.

    I love NFL Network. I just dislike the recently added bells & whistles they have in their graphics now.

    I hardly ever watch ESPN anymore now that I have the NFL Network. If I'm watching ESPN, it's because they are carrying a game that I want to watch.

    For the most part I agree, but I do like ESPN's college football coverage.

    Lee Corso and Bob Davie come quickly to mind as my fave college football experts.

    I think ESPN excels in its MLB analysis and studio show. They have done well w/o Peter Gammons but his presence is sorely missed.
