    <div class="quote_poster">The Walrus Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">why is this bad news?[​IMG]</div>

    Means I have to have my remote control on me at all times when watching NBA games on ABC because I need to mute the TV when they play those fuggin Pu$$y Cat Dolls songs every 12 seconds. Not to mention all the batteries I'll go through from muting on and off 78 times a game.

    Oh and I keep having to listen to Bill Walton trying to convince me that Steve Nash is really 5'3.

    ...because ABC/ESPN have probably the worst coverage of basketball than the other sports have with their respective networks...analysts are horrible...we have to wait an eternity for games to be on weekends...they DO NOT ADVERTISE at all for their games (see: NBA Finals)...they have horrible new pop star songs every other week (see: above post referring to ***** Cat Dolls)...they just don't know what the NBA wants or NEEDS in terms of fan appeal...at least TNT got their contract renewed too...either way I'm getting league pass to avoid ABC/ESPN at any cost

    Ehhhhh....ABC I don't have so much a problem with. I kind of like Mark Jackson's commentary. "You're better than that!"

    The ***** Cat Dolls are absolutely terrible, though. I always feel embarrassed whenever they start singing. TNT is the best of the 3, though. Can't beat Charles, Kenny, and EJ.
