If so, then the MLS is equivalent to NFL Europe....

...or if you're into other sports, MLS = your local softball beer league...or MLS = The Swiss Pro Basketball League...or MLS = your local club championship in golf.....or MLS = The Jamaican Bobsled Team...

I am a huge soccer fan and haven't watched more than 15 minutes of an MLS game. It is unwatchable.

ESPN is absolutely effing horrible! ESPN Classic Sports Century was supposed to air Seattle Slew at 7pm. What was on? Effin soccer. They showed the last 15 minutes of Sports Century . Not the decency to re-air it at 8. No. They have to show a bowling movie instead? It's Derby week for crying out loud!
ESPN is absolutely horrible!

Horse Racing Instead of "NASCAR Now"

This will be a post to discuss the live draw for post positions in the Kentucky Derby that was supposed to end at 6PM.

NASCAR Now was scheduled in that timeslot and the live Derby draw is still on the air at 6:20PM.

Your comments are welcome below as we all watch this on-air issue continue. I have not seen an explanation on the lower third information panel. ESPN is in SportsCenter, and ESPN Classic is in soccer.

Update #1: ESPN2 just ran a promo for SportsCenter at 6:20PM that talked about the show that began at 6PM, so it looks like the Derby show is being "time-shifted." They also used a lower third graphic to say NASCAR Now was coming up next.

Update #2: For those of you just coming home to review the VCR or the DVR for NASCAR Now, you actually have the draw for the Kentucky Derby. NASCAR Now was pushed back to 6:30PM, which loses a lot of viewers who normally record the show.

Don't worry, this will be taken care of this weekend. I can't believe my ears.

Other than the Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes & Breeder's Cup...I'm done with watching any thoroughbred racing on any of the networks or cable. I've had enough of our product being interupted by all this junk and forced to see limited action from the time given of the event. THANK GOD we have a television network that JUST shows the races (Capital OTB) It's the BEST product BAR NONE when it comes to covering the horse racing product. This sport will NEVER get the exposure it rightfully deserves with NBC, ABC and especially ESPN. Come this Saturday, I'll be watching JUST the race itself...the lead up to the race will be on Capital OTB. It's not worth fighting anymore.
