Corp000085 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 speaking of espn... at 9:20, they teased the sabres game going into commercial. its now 10:01, i've watched one live ending to a basketball game, seen the pirates vs. red sox hilights, other b-ball hilights, some courside analysis, and nfl signings. i've never seen an entire basketball game in my life, from the opening to ending, yet i can now name all the conference champs in 40 minutes of watching esBnnews.

The last time I saw a complete NBA game, Magic hadn't announced he had HIV... I just don't find it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 ESPN & Sports Center is a friggin JOKE. They dropped hockey, so I dropped them. Period. Get CENTER ICE, its the only way!! Does Center Ice have some kind of evening highlights show. If not, I'm not sure how that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Does Center Ice have some kind of evening highlights show. If not, I'm not sure how that would help. It doesn't, although there was talk earlier in the season that there would be a US version of the NHL channel coming out sometime (hopefully next season, I guess). But to get better highlights and the pre / post game shows of most teams you can get the Sports Package on DirecTV. It has about 40 regional sports channels included. Unfortunately, most of them are the various regional FSN's, so through most of the day you have 20 versions of Bass Fishing Today or whatever other lame program Fox puts together. But you also get, say the Detroit Sports Report which has a lot of hockey coverage and some others have a lot of hockey coverage too. The Sports Package does black out NHL and other pro sports leagues unless you have the appropriate league program, but it doesn't block out pre / post game shows. Unfortunately for Sabres fans though, the Sabres pre/ post game shows are only on an alternate feed, so DirecTV doesn't pick them up. Hopefully Buffalo will get a sports network again so people can see those again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Magic Number to 8th: 8 hey dave, is that some sort of a joke? I think this team is closer to the presidents trophy than 8th! 16W baby! That's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 How about correcting it for TSR: ESPN<Boulton ESPN<Gratton? or ESPN<Satan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all that matters. Let's get in the playoffs 1st. After that, I haven't decided if I will count down to 7th or home ice (4th). Hopefully, we get to work it up to Magic # for President's Trophy. It absolutely becomes Magic # 16 around 11PM on April 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If they don't show that Vanek goal tomorrow, I am swearing off espn for the rest of my life. I guess that means I'll never watch espn again. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM8-PL16 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I just sent an email to ESPN TV... it won't make a difference, but I ranted for a while and hopefully someone will at least read it.... then probably laugh at me and all the other hockey fans who don't watch sportscenter anymore. But at least I got it off my chest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ESPN guys play hard ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 ESPN isn't making any money off of hockey right now so don't expect decent coverage until they start carrying games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Stanley Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The sabres were on the ulimate highlight. I don't know who it was cause it was like a 1 second shot of the Sabre. Yeah we finally made a Sport Center Highlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Does Center Ice have some kind of evening highlights show. If not, I'm not sure how that would help. No video highlights I know, but channel 671 (cox communications, west coast) or the first of 10 Center Ice NHL channels has the full scoreboard, league leaders and Div standings. If that doesn't work, use NHL.com Highlights section video download. Pretty good. And a big #%^$#! You to ESPN!! You and your friggin baskestball love fest P'Diddy HipHop Bullcrap!! Just a lousy game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit151 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Wow, such rage towards basketball. I thought all you Americans loved rap music, basketball and 'comedies' featuring nerdy white cops teamed with ultra-cool black cops. I never really liked basketball either, although I am a fan of the most international team in the league(Spurs). As a Canadian, I apologize to all of you who do not like basketball. As you know a Canadian invented the sport and we promptly shipped it to you guys (thank goodness). For this, I apologize. I used to get ESPN on my cable up here. College basketball and football constantly!! Yucch!!!! Now, I get TSN (known in Western Canada as the Toronto Sports Network), where Leaf hi-lights, Leaf debates, Leaf analysis, Leaf glorification and more Leaf hi-lights gobble up huge amounts of time. Hmmm, on second thought, I think I'd rather have the ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
