for me the utility of it just fell off a cliff because I can easily digest the same content online on demand

30 years ago I might have tuned in to catch highlights of 3 or 4 NFL games, but I risked having to sit through some sports that I didn't really care about to see it. Now I can just find highlights of all those NFL games at any point I want and I don't have to sift through highlights of things I don't want to see.

  - That is true...no need to tune into a show to find out what happened in the Wide Wide World of Sports any given day* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 11:57:36 AM
- Sportscenter with Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman was great viewing * - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 09:54:53 AM
  - Agree, I liked Linda Cohn too.* - By Lodz September 22, 2026 at 10:29:32 AM
    - she supposedly gave great BJs (not speaking from experience)* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 12:04:04 PM
  - There were a lot of great SC anchors back then. This Asian dude they have who apparently is one their stars now, thinks he’s a comedian. He’s fucking obnoxious.* - By Eric September 22, 2026 at 10:06:45 AM
  - You were a young male squarely in the demographic back then** - By xcheck September 22, 2026 at 09:57:16 AM
    - true, but I still think my point stands...would like them today I believe* - By ajs September 22, 2026 at 11:56:22 AM

  - Southern male losers absolutely detest woke ESPN. (nm) - By suede September 22, 2026 at 09:45:14 AM
    - They only say that when espn lauds the big ten. They watch that shit just like the magas still watch nfl* - By mtb September 22, 2026 at 11:47:07 AM
    - Demographically, I believe ESPN does better in the south - By ny1995 September 22, 2026 at 09:46:51 AM
      - ESPN is fully leaning into being a Southern/regional sports network. Listen when they cover B1G highlights. It’s clear they don’t know anything about the teams playing.* - By MFlyer September 22, 2026 at 10:22:51 AM
      - It's the SEC network after all. And Pat McAfee speaks their love language* - By gratefultread September 22, 2026 at 09:50:29 AM
