ESPN coverage not even worth watching.

what a waste.

[adila1401]

Honestly, its so bad..Every 5 minutes in the middle of the match, they go to round table discussion at the practice courts rather than showing the damn matches

[DR225]

It's not the round table that's bad, it's their match selection. The first match at 1 am est on espn was Wozniacki vs some 1000 ranked American that I've never heard of, at relatively the same time as Gasquets match. They also had at least 6-7 entertaining, close 11 am matches to choose from. ESPN loves showing joker and fed beating people as -5000 favorites, rather than showing close, compelling matches. espn3 is great but I can't deal with the one or two point delay...

[gregmav1]

Why do they have that stupid delay on espn3? That is so annoying. Not like 5 or 10 seconds, it's like 65 seconds. why, wtf.

[Snowball]

They have a policy just to show the top ranked players
even against scrubs at any time of match
while all the real action is happening off camera which they ignore.

ESPN is a monopoly of poor sports coverage..
they suck at everything they do.

their radio programs are only interested in talking about gossip.

we get no useful information as bettors from them whatsoever.

Completely agree...Perfect example is doing a segment in every one of their shows about Tim Tebow who probably won't even make the roster on an NFL team ..3 for 8 throwing for 30 yards against practice squad players and its 15 minutes of whether Tebow can be a starter on an NFL team

have you ever tried listening to Mike & Mike ?
I swear you don't know if it's a sports show
or Hollywood Tonight.
They don't even talk about any of the games !
how pathetic ESPN is.

Yes, unfortunately I do all the time

[Snowball]

Yes, unfortunately I do all the time

I can't stand them.. but unfortunately I do also, in passing, but then I change off
because they are so terrible. Alas, NO OASIS from the grime and pointless chatter
in local sports radio ! All they want to talk about is the same moronic "hot button"
topics of the day, and when they DO talk sports, they only talk about the local teams,
in the most sophomoric of ways.
And these companies wonder why people spend all their media time on the internet ! ?

[Snowball]

thanks for another useless day ESPN
not one friggin match I bet on did you televize.
Take your commercials and shove them.
Corporate trollops.

why is this surprising to anyone? the average American (or any person for that matter) watching the US Open wants to see the top players, they have zero interest in Gasquet and Kokkikanas or some other scrub that only true tennis fans and degenerate gamblers are even aware exist.
