  what happened to espn

when i was in college, sportscenter was a staple of daily life. there was a communal nature to sitting around and watching it with your buddies.

once the catchphrases and personalities became overemphasized at the same time as actual sports highlights became marginalized, i turned away. i now find myself going to espnews and more often the web for my sports fix.

a sports writer at cornell's student paper chronicles his disenchantment with espn:
- "Of late, I find myself doing double takes to make sure I’m watching ESPN and not E!SPN."
- "ESPN has abandoned its friends — the fans."
i especially like the statistical breakdown of a typical sportscenter
- "You took the best years of my life, Stuart Scott, and I want them back."
