Im doubtfull it will ever happen but, ...
It would be nice if a second sportsnetwork stepped up to deal sports like the news does. Away from all the hype, biasedness, and trashing and marketing programs. A network that keeps it clean, debatable and just reports the news instead of making it entertainment and marketing.
Where sports were once hidden in knowledge, they are now open to disecting the game. Theres no need to act like a program is deserving of winning every year. Its all about who is on the team and how the chemistry works nowadays at both the collegiate pro and even the international levels. I would never watch espn again if it happened. Heck I rarely ever watch them anymore anyway, and not because of the Bernie thing because they hate on individual teams and programs. Espn has sold out to frontrunning, and they are 100 sold to crappy reffing and deciding who they hope to win.
Had a debate with a close friend the other night they were telling me how they love nascar because you can still walk into the pit, especially in some of the smaller tracks and get along with all the drivers, all the pit crews and all the fans at the event reguarless of who you follow.
