I believe that HR is working for the baseball network, which is owned by MLB

Sportcenter please....
 
Just show me highlights of games and events that have happened in the last 24hrs. If you don't have enough highlights to fill and hour, cut the show to 30min. DO NOT create crap like the Now thing as filler. DO NOT show me a day in the life of Jeff Garcia, save it for Oprah (or ABC's equivalent). DO NOT preview and predict the AFC South when they haven't even started practice, let alone pre-season. If you really need to fill time, DO show me Grade 1 Stakes races from around the country, they only take a couple minutes. Show the field and the final odds, the race and throw up the WPS payouts for 10 seconds.

Just give me highlights and sports news from the last 24hrs.

another thing that gets me is if your going to show the replays of the sun-mon-wed basball at 2 am - then show the whole game and not skip 3 innings here and move ahead here. if you cant show the whole game-what else do you need to show at 2-they have plenty of time. then don't bother -its like watching the stretch run of a race only on tvg.man that crap irks me:mad:

It's just the ruination of cable TV. MTV and VH1 used to show music videos about 23 out of their 24 hour day. Now you never see them except at maybe 4 in the morning I guess?? VH1 is completely disgusting with 24 our a day sick reality shows. ESPN hasn't been the same since they stopped showing Canadian Football League games and Australian Rules Football.

Simon,if you want the no B.S. advice,then look this beast (in you) in the eye,and tell it you're no longer giving in.Tell it no.It's real tough if it never hears no,but it's a weak coward if you simply tell it no.This means something as simple as picking up a sock you dropped.Don't pick it up later.Pick it up now.Don't give in.Start with something simple like that,and the beast will weaken.

Being cheap is a form of telling the beast "no."

No,I didn't say it is easy(just go do it.)Which is what this guy has made a career of doing.I am saying to start with (what we think) are easy situations (to not give in to our lesser self.)Like I said,don't give in when your mind says you can pick up a little mess later.Say no,because the mind doesn't put values on things like we do.It just knows it wanted to be lazy,and got refused.We think cleaning something up now(instead of later) is minor,but it isn't.It's easy though,and it is important to tell your lazy side "no,f off."

Clint Longley
Mark Fidrych
Buster Douglas
Craig Perks
Orville Moody
Timmie Smith
Ryan Leaf
Tim Couch
Heath Shuler
Bill Johnson (the skier)
Anna Kournikova
MIchelle Wie
Billy Ray Bates
Marvin Barnes
David Clyde
Rick Ankiel
Joe Gilliam
T C Chen
Pearl Washington
Gheorge Muresan
Sam Bowie
Chris Washburn
Tonya Harding
Brian Doyle (the baseball player)
Rosie Ruiz
Ron Franklin (the jockey)
Mark Gastineau
Gerry Cooney
LaMarr Hoyt
Mark Davis (the pitcher)
Andre Ware
David Klingler (the last two could be considered one person I think)

hershel could play despite being overrated as a pro and "the trade"...he wasn't a life embarrasment as gastineau became. i looked a lot at gastineau's fake boxing career as well and his roid use...generally a complete clown.
