    I hate ESPN....

    Espn shows 2 different lebron James tweets in a 30 minute window. I do NOT care what he says! If I did I would follow him on twitter and look myself. After they show the tweet they analyze it for 5 minutes... Really??? What producer thinks that would make good tv? I watch espnfor the highlights and scores because there is really no other choice. Any suggestions?

    ESPN sucks and I'm Canadian. We have a station called TSN (The Sports Network) and its constantly showing updated highlights and news. Can't live without this channel.

    According to this link I found on Goggle it says they make anywhere between $36,000 - $65,800.

    I would too ace... That's why my tv stays on the channel all day and night. They have a great product (sports) but try their best to ruin with rumors and tweets.... If i wanted that crap I would watch the E! Channel with my lady... Espn treats the sports world like a soap oprah

    Eventually they will only be a gossip network and drop sports coverage much like MTV stopped showing videos. Its too bad because its easy money fading ESPN picks. Check out Mike Greenberg ATS record for one.

    if you don't like it, don't watch it...

    Very simple.

    But as someone who is old enough to remember when sports was 3 minutes on your local news at 7pm and 11pm - life before cable TV/DirectTV/and ESPN, I can promise you its much better now for the average sports fan.

    NFL network isn't much better. I just sat here and watched joe theisman say that the jets and pats don't really have a rivalry. Guess he doesn't remember bill belicheck being jets coach for 1 day, then bolting to NE. These ex athlete sportscasters are retarded, black or white.

    Seems low, but considering all they do is talk about ******* sports, that's pretty good money. I mean look at us, we talk about sports for free.
