ESPN had thier say, Now it is my turn.

Not in the Cards? Fine. Be a critic of my team ? Fine.

How about the fact that ESPN STINKS.

1. The current sports casters are a long way away from the days of Craig Kilborn, Dan Patrick, Keith ?Obelkoack?, and many other great sports casters that I don't see on ESPN any more.

2. NFL tonight's crew is a bunch of morons. Starting with I have had to many concussions, Merril Hoge. And then there is my favorite, Baby Huey aka Bob Golic, who all of a sudden thinks his word is the end all truth.

3. NFL GameDay. When did this show start to sound like women at a tea party. How bout every talks at the same time, and make sure to watch Sterling SHarpe cause his crippled ass won't shut the hell up. By the way who the hell is Mark Malone.

4. Baseball tonight. Use to be the best thing since the home run derby. Nothing but guys hitting shots out of the ball park for an hour. Now I have to hear a 20 minute Peter "I look like I got caught in the press" Gammons speech on why he thinks he is a baseball GOD. SHUT UP and show homeruns.

5. ESPN has taken a page out of MTV. Putting on more senseless dribble than actual sports. They show stupid stupid shows for 2 hours instead of maybe putting rugby in there, or some other sport someone would like to watch.

The point is I used to watch ESPN EVERY NIGHT! But little by little it started to become more focused on what some ******* has to say about some team or topic and less about showing sports highlights. If I want to have a bunch of sports bullsh*t poured into my ear I will meet my friends at the bar!

The Cards will have at least 7 wins next year, and that is just based on the fact that our OL is at an average of 330 lbs. WHO IN OUR DIVISION HAS A DL THAT CAN STOP THEM. 49'ers have no DL, and niether does the Rams. Maybe the Seahawks but not likely.

So ESPN can take thier Cardinal bashing and shove it.

What is not in the Cards is ESPN's ratings. Which are dropped like a Plummer slant pass.

Peace and go Cards.

PS - Please feel free to list anymore complaints against the decay of ESPN.

Even the Sports Center commercials are getting lame.

ESPN started to lose me when they began producing "reality" shows like A Year with Texas A&M Football or whatever it was called, and the stupid game show where the punks ran around doing some kind of scavenger hunt, I can't even remember the name (prolly 'cause I never watched it). They are definitely sliding down the proverbial slippery slope. Just show highlights!

I'll stick with ESPN Classic.

The show was called Beg, Borrow, Deal, or something. I remember that Jason Sehorn was on the series premire. When he was walking out of the tunnel at halftime for the game against the Cards, I said, "Hey, Jason! Maybe you can beg, borrow, or deal your way into the starting lineup!" Good times.
