ESPN and this "now" crap

[pdrift1]

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

Another thing I hate is when they do that ESPN Deportes break. That really irks me. Isn't that why they have "The Oucho?"

thanks i wondered why he got let go but nobody when i asked knew for sure and i never heard anything about it and have always wondered what he did

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."

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.
