Cannon ,

I agree. There is nothing going on in sports now, but this is laughable. They pass this crap off as if the the whole public has been clamoring for this nonsense. Thirty-five minutes of baseball and ten minutes of this self-serving junk along with 1 minute of each other sport makes for quite the stimulating Sports Center. It's good they repeat it about 8 times, because if I missed something my life would be so empty.

That is the truth. The best is when they have an original series, the promotion is constant, yet the ratings are awful.

I remember growing up in the 80's, and ESPN was awesome. Different story, now. Same as MTV, but far worse there. I remember when it was actually Music Television, not reality show after reality show...

They actually have these guys "analyzing" this stupid ****. I bet those guys hate it but gotta do what they pay them for.

I'll tell ya what is just as bad.That is this f'n Jenny Craig letting us know middle- aged women(that use to be hot) are now cow types.I am sure they are well paid,but I really don't need to know that Valerie Bertinelli got that big.Hopefully,this is just a SOCAL thing,and the rest of the country doesn't have to watch all that.

Just reduce the carbs ya eat(especially don't mix carbs with fat.) This means cutting back on bread n' butter in those Restaurants in the Big Easy.Men fail on low quantity diets(J Craig....W Watchers.)They gain any lossed weight back(because they can't keep eating that small an amount of good food.)

I agree. I was confused by the "NOW" concept. I was like HUH???? And they have Mike Wilbon and Herbstriet and Key analyzing this. It is pretty stupid. I could care less about Sports Center these days. I cannot stand Stephen A Smith, Stuart Scott, Dick Vitale etc etc. The only show that is any good is PrimeTime. I loved it when Harold Reynolds was on Baseball Tonight, Charlie Steiner was in the studio etc etc.

Oh the things I hate the most is the "Ultimate Highlight."

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.

The best part was when Keyshawn said he never heard of Shaun White.
