It's all hockey...makes me sick to my stomach..</div> Canada doesn't have any national television station that broadcasts NBA games? How do you watch other teams then?
I hate it sometimes, they over do football alot. Even in the offseason they have an NFL show in the afternoon everyday. I'm okay with the NFL, but they overdo so dam much.

We do actually get a good amount of games, just not all of the Raptors games on Cable...We have 3 sports channels, and you can find a non-raptors game almost every day.

Then you can just order US sports channels. I'm guessing you can get NBAtv over there though, right?
ESPN needs to balance out what they show throughout the year. Meaning, they need to fill certain time slots with NFL Films or NBA flashbacks even in the offseason. They need to get rid of Jim Rome is Burning, along with Cold Pizza because they ruined that show by moving them to another boring ESPN set. They need to stop with the evening Sportscenters because frankly there's no news to report because all the games have not been played yet so they're just killing time. As for Chris Berman, you guys all need to be quiet about him because he's one of 10 Bills fans in the world including me. He comes out to Maui every year to commentate our pee wee basketball All-Star games and I've had the pleasure to talk football with him many times. In fact, he just bought a house on Maui so I was thinking I can be his house-sitter during football season. He's a fun host who can think up of catchy nicknames right on the spot. Same with Stuart Scott and Stephen A. Smith, both of them over do it with they're ghetto slang but without them it would be boring old white dudes talking for hours. Also, what idiot decided NASCAR should be on ESPN?! That is the dumbest idea ever and it's not a sport I don't care how many people disagree. When I grow up my goal is to get super rich and make my own sports network that's going to rape ESPN and have great games everyday with awsome experts. :dribble:
You should talk about getting him some new calls, 808. Yeah his stuff was original two years ago, but now its zzzzzzzzz

They have 3 black people on staff I can recall out of at least 150 analysts. God forbid they have a black analyst when 75% of major sports involves black people.</div>BBW has one.I think they should split it up. 30 Minutes for each sport and not being called sportscenter but like seprate broad casting so we dont have to wait. Like NBA would have 30 minutes then MLB will and so on consuming the same amount of time of SC

I don't think he's the best analyst in the world, but I think he's better than the rest of their crew. I think Stephen A. is repulsive, but entertaining. I don't mind Stephen A. at all. I don't like Greg Anthony much, and Mark Jackson states the obvious and/or re-states something said right before him every single time he speaks. He also makes a lot of terrible jokes. Mike Wilbon... enough said. The guy doesn't really know what he's talking about, and Jon Barry is clearly the biggest piece of white trash ESPN has ever hired. Hubie Brown is the man, though.
It's to bad FSN doesn't step up and do some shows like SportsCenter and everything else instead of airing a bunch of garbage all day long. Sign some talent and build a network which can compete with ESPN! The only real reason ESPN is so successful is because they have no competition. I love my hometeam but say after a Tigers game..why do I want to watch replays of the game I just watched after it?

Furthermore, Sean Salisbury, an NFL analyst, was only SUSPENDED for showing women pictures on his phone of his wang. Seems rather hypocritical of the network. Reynolds has sued ESPN, so we'll see how long this lasts.Reynolds is the man.

It's not who has won or the setup of it, it's the analysis. Who gives a F*ck what Herbstreet, Keyshawn, and Mike Wilbon think? All three of them chose Tony Parker because he's married to Longoria. Nevermind that Federer is quite possibly the BEST PLAYER IN HIS SPORT EVER EVER.And Jon Barry drives me nuts, he's such a biased fucktard.
I know he doesn't work for ESPN, but Joe Buck is probably one of the worst announcers I have ever heard. He's made some good calls in his time, but other than that he doesn't know what he's talking about and he can be extremely biased towards one team. He just annoys the hell out of me...
