CatnipOligarchy Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 got a little rant here.. what is ESPN thinking? if anyone has watched sportscenter so far this week, youll know they are doing a 5 part series on the relationship between sports and music.. they'll do a little report.. which is semi interesting, and i dont have a problem with.. but then they have a "musical" performance.. yesterday it was Kid Rock.. who just yelled "somebodys gotta feel this" over and over.. i wasnt feeling it.. and then just now, some rapper, talking about how hes got money, how he's "so fly".. WTF? during both of these they showed random highlights ranging from Bill Buckner to Mariano Rivera.. highlights that have nothing to do with the song or eachother. Tomorrow, Five For Fighting is going to play their song "100 Years". I'm just failing to see what these performances have to do with anything, and why they are taking 5 minutes of SportsCenter away from me, that could be filled with more or extended highlights and/or more analysis.

I saw that with Kid rock yesterday and just started scratching my head....I want to see sports not some idiot screaming "feel this". I dont see the relation between sports and a worn out punk.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2004 It's their attempt to reach out more to the MTV crowd and all. Chris Connelly look a little familiar to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballpro9 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Just great 5 for fighting is going to sing about sports tonight. This whole scheme makes me sick, keep the music on MTV and sports on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 You notice, too, that they have the Times Square backdrop, just like MTV? ESPN is selling out, they've let it gone to their heads. I miss the good ol' days of Chris Berman, Charlie Steiner, Karl Ravich, Keith Olbermann, Bob Ley, etc...at least ESPNews is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
