Poor Taste ESPN

[SlewsMyHero]

I watched the coverage on TVG. Even if ESPN had an exclusive to show the race live, I would have waited and watched the delayed running on TVG. ESPN has become a monolithic network geared more toward covering and even creating controversy in the sports world. This is even beginning to infiltrate their Thoroughbred racing coverage. I refuse to watch anything on ESPN that I can watch elsewhere. I even find myself turning down the volume on their Monday Night Football broadcast. I just can't take it any more. I'd rather watch the game in silence while listening to the Monday ATR show on my MP3 player, than listen to the garble of the MNF crew. Tom Mees must be turning over in his grave.

I had to laugh when the TVG hype machine called the Hard Spun-SS snooze fest equivelant to an "Ali-Frazier" bout....please
