ESPN deemed this worthy of the ticker:

"Shaun White lands triple cork (three off-axis flips while spinning at least four times) off a standard terrain park jump, sources tell ESPN. Website for Onboard magazine has footage of what they claim is White landing the trick."

Can't wait until LeBron lands a 720 dunk, in his socks, during a charity game.

Or Robert Griffin throws a 92-yard pass, in his backyard, to his college buddy.

the only problem i have with the complainers is they still watch it, even though they whine and moan about it.

lol this is true. The best is when you have an opinion and someone says "Oh you are brainwashed by ESPN" "Oh you watch ESPN too much" and I don't watch ESPN more than 10 minutes a month so I have no clue what they are even referring to.

You think ESPN puts these things out there because nobody likes it? The problem really is that this country is full of retards and ESPN caters to them. I mean it is a business and ESPN is doing what is best for business. If nobody liked the shit and they stopped making money, they would stop doing it.

I get tired of it too Chop. Think back when ESPN wasn't huge and think how many games we had to watch each week. We were lucky to see 4-5 games a night.

Now, we have access to all of these games and action and it's not enough? Come on guys.

I don't think people are upset about the sports they show, its all the other stuff. Are they considered a credible news organization when they don't report on topics that are in conflict with their programming (Te'o story being the latest)? NBC Sports Net (Directv220, old Versus) is a preferred option.

NBC sports network is great, especially what I'd compare to their version of sports center..

I don't know how any real sports fan can take the espn network seriously at this point. Especially sportscenter or any of the shows where two idiots yell at each other.

Their on air talent is brutal...I really don't care what any of them think or what they have to say so smugly.

And I hate when people say 'then why do you watch'. When I'm in control of what's on, it's only on for live events and game day. If sportscenter or another crap debate show is on I either didn't bother changing the channel or it was the last channel on when I turned off tv.

If Randy Moss signed on with ESPN for next year, would they make a big deal about this being his last game, like they are doing with Ray Lewis?

I don't have time to read this thread, did anybody mention the "Hiedi" game before ESPN came around? I'm sure there are some old timers on this board that are still mad about that game.

Dick Vitale absolutely ruins college basketball games he calls.

Says the same things every game..." I can't beleive they pay us to do this baby", "what a diaper dandy", "he is on my all marco polo team", "dipsy doo dunkaroo". And my favorite is in march when he says who is in tourney and who is out, he always has about 80 teams in the tournament. "let em play baby" Uggggh. And to think when I was in 6th grade, i got that jack asses autograph.

Just have Bob Knight do every game where can he actually break the game down and understand it.
