Ot - winter x games...

[Marsh01]

Really? On espn taking up college hoops slots? Ugh...for the 8 people in America who watches this it should be on lifetime between 2-4 am.

 

[OttoMets]

Reason #871 why ESPN is awful.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

These folks are some crazy athletes. I enjoy it in small doses. Really, how much January hoops can anyone watch?

My kids love the winter X-games...and I've got to admit watching the snowmobiling tonight beat watching UNC beat the bejesus out of State.

The x games is incredible tv.

If it didn't do better than hoops in ratings it would be on the duece or the U. I aways find it interesting when they actually show the events, the interviews and talking not so much.

Time Warner Cable. No NFL Network. Sucks dude.

Triple header tonight. The Zags at Portland. Yes I have issues. Other than Andy Katz I dont know of anyone who watches more than I do.

Yeah, I just switched to fios in December, would recommend it.

Anyways, Giants won without AB and Nicks or a healthy d-line

Also flying and flipping snow mobiles are fantastic

The x games are great I look forward to it every year

 

[OttoMets]

Wow, I'm really in the minority on this one. Obviously some people like that sort of entertainment, otherwise it wouldn't be on, but I didn't expect to see such a positive reaction here.

I'd rather watch hoops.

I'd rather watch soccer and that is last on the totem pole for me.

 

[pfister1]

Pretty sure there is a new X-games sport that is being held in central NY... Freestyle Median Driving... Please tell me that this video is a fake.

 

[310Pigpen]

Its not like its on a lot, 8 days in a year isn't bad. These guys do some crazy !

 

[dollarbill44]

I echo what a bunch have said in that the winter X games are a lot of fun to watch, for the most part and it does quite well with ratings. Thursday and Friday night hoops schedules are typically fairly weak.

 

[realorange]

It's a toss up who are more insane---the snowmobile drivers or, in the summer, the bike riders.

Cheap thrills from crazy people.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

The x games do great ratings for ESPN. Remember...just cuz you don't watch it...

ESPN would never put something on the main channel that didn't produce.

 

[310Pigpen]

There's no one here that rides dirt bikes or snowmobiles?

Sounds like it's an ESPN circle jerk...at least it was last year...hoops gets better ratings

Nah, it doesn't. See link above. ESPN also gave Stephen A Smith his own late night show. They alot too.

Gimme an 18-16 big 10 game at halftime over the x games any day.
