If you don't like ESPN then fine but I am betting just about anyone who has ever bashed them still watches them at least occasionally and probably more. Remember that for every thing they do that makes you throw your hands up they do 5 things that you enjoy. No one is perfect but ESPN isn't nearly as awful as a lot of people want to make them out to be in my opinion.

I agree.

We seem to rag on them all the time, but my car radio is tuned to ESPN radio almost all the time, and when I'm at the gym I'm typically watching SportsCenter, and when I'm looking for highlights on a Sunday night I'm switching back and forth between NFL Network and ESPN.

I guess as with anything, we tend to focus on the bad more often and we don't give enough attention to the good things.

I love ESPN, I really do. Maybe because I hold them to a high standard their occassional mistake sticks out more.
