Marv Levy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I find myself not even bothering to watch ESPN now. Without hockey, it stinks. I mean, ESPN loves baseball and basketball anyway and they hardly talk about it when the league IS playing. I'll only watch sportscenter if I know there is some good NFL talk, but lately all they seem interested in showing is Pro Dart Tourny, Marble Championship Series and freakin' poker TILT!! Am I the minority here? I understand hockey is not popular anyway, guess I'm just going thru sports withdrawls right now! Residents of Buffalo must be going stir crazy without the Sabres to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing took place in downtown Buffalo (go figure) in which a college basketball made it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 35 years. Really crazy stuff ESPN is showing these days, I agree. BTW, you are in the minority. The NHLs ratings on ESPN are poor with a capital P (so I guess it would be Poor) and have been getting worse every year. Correct if I'm wrong fellow TBDers but I think women's college hoops beat the NHL in ratings the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolly Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm with ya man, i'm hurtin without sabres hockey. As far as ESPN goes, they never aired the sabres anyways.

I would bet that they have at least one playoff game here also. It eases the pain of a year without the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 ESPN2 - Mike and Mike in the Morning. Only good show left on the ESPN's. (other than EPSNews, which runs around the clock). Other than that, its NFL Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
