This is the same org that put the Falcons and Saints (and the Balitmore Colts for a few years) in the same division with the LA Rams and 49ers. They don't give a gently caress about anything.

I don't mean to sperg out, but this is kinda what I was getting at in regards to how the NFL fucks up it's scheduling.

There's 12 games between 2 time slots. Yet, there's 9 at 1:00, and 3 at 4:30. The two games on Fox are Cowboys-Giants, and Lions-Colts during that timeslot. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. That is 2 and a 1/2 hours from Detroit, and 5 hours from Indianapolis.

Yet, I will be seeing some lovely NFC East football for whatever reason. ("Because it's the Cowboys! America's team!) It's just amazingly idiotic and seems to be stuck in the 1970's or some poo poo. College Football has this down to a science. Games from 12 PM to as late as 1 AM because of how they're able to divide games up.

I live in Chicago, where every fourth person is originally from either Michigan or Indiana, and I don't get Lions-Colts either. I appreciate life's continued efforts to completely sever myself from the Lions, but usually I do want to watch them at the beginning of the season!

Timeouts?!

We'll take care of that.
The one thing the 1pm loaded football schedule hides well is that if you don't have a local market team playing against the national broadcast you only get 3 Sunday day games a week so it does not matter how much other football is playing.

I know I live in a different universe than this forum because I've never had red zone, but it's not like you'd suddenly have a bonanza of football to choose from. You'd just be locked out of games you can't watch more evenly at 1 and 4.

Drone racing feels like a throwback to early years ESPN when they showed whatever random crap they could get the rights to in order to fill time, I dig it.

Yes, ESPN2 really needs to get back to showing all sorts of oddball sports. I guess ESPN3 is doing that, but I'd prefer it to be right on TV and not go hunting for it online.

Remember how loving nuts racists on twitter would go when ESPN dared to have Spanish play-by-play for a baseball game every so often? Well mark your calendars for September 26th because hoooo boy :munch:

quote:

On September 26, ESPN will break new ground in mainstream sports media, when it debuts Nación ESPN, an hourlong weekly show geared toward Latino sports fans.

The show will be hosted by Los Angeles radio Jorge Sedano, boxing reporter Bernardo Osuna and ESPN Deportes baseball writer Marly Rivera. English will be the primary language, but guests will have the option to speak in Spanish.

Per ESPN, Nación ESPN will fuse SportsNation with ESPN Deportes’ Nación ESPN. Via a press release:

“Adding Jorge, Marly and Bernardo to existing voices we have on His and Hers, First Take and Highly Questionable strengthens our commitment to better serve a diverse sports fan base while also generating opportunities for advertisers with a total market approach,” said Freddy Rolón, vice president and general manager of ESPN Deportes. “Nación ESPN will speak to the audience in a way that resonates with their evolving multicultural lifestyles and interests.”
