112 million per game :whoo: No wonder they damn near report/promote the nfl 24/7.

Yup, that money is fukking crazy... And ESPN only get's a WC game for that. And Disney is going to likely force ESPN to simulcast that WC game with ABC next year too. It's crazy.

Get. The. fukk. Outta. Here. :laugh: @ axing ESPN 2 but keeping the online channel that shows less meaningful shyt. All they'd do is just put that content on TV if they wanted to.

and :wtf: @ shytting on ESPN for showing Sportscenter all day and having random sporting events on ESPN2 like that wasn't all they showed when you grew up.
move that content online and sell it as a subscription. What does ESPN 2 show? Forreal idk cause I don't watch that network but through the week what sports air on that network. I do know it doesn't air NFL games or NBA games and I doubt MLB games. Network can be scrapped. Along with the other hang along networks they got. ESPN, ESPN news, should be the only on air networks and everything else can be shifted to an online subscription site.

they're not gonna dead the newspaper because Twitter and the web can get it to you ASAP. They're not gonna dead Sportscenter for the same reason: some people like waking up or working out with Sportscenter on. There's always gonna be that crowd that wants that. Even the centralized sports channels have their own version of Sportscenter that they loop to no end. I can get all the MLB info I need online, but I'll be damned if I say MLB Tonight ain't fukkin piff. Let's keep it 100, MLB Tonight doesn't do much different than ESPN (hell, look at their staff, some of those guys are from ESPN), but they do it a lot better for their format which is why they kick everyone's ass. Same with NFL Network and NHL Network.

Do they dissect it to death? Of course, but the only motherfukkers who would watch ESPN 24/7 in any sort of way are hardcore die hards who ain't got shyt else to do with their time (this is where the coli comes in). If all these shows are a slight variation of the same shyt, why are you watching all of them? The problem is some of y'all watch every show they have. Of course you're gonna be burnt out. Personally I stick to HQ on a somewhat hardcore level on TV-- the sports talk radio format is more to my liking otherwise.
Not calling for sports center to be deaded, just a reduction in the amount of time it airs. Between the three main espn channels, it's damn near 24/7, how do you expect that to increase viewership and revenue

There isn't much else bankable or cost effective or flexible IMO.
