ESPN really sucks!

[AzWins23]

I really miss NFL Primtime. I really wish they could go back to it instead of that horrible NFL Blitz show. Sunday night football isn't the same for me anymore. Nothing was better than watching a cardinals victory, and then tuning in to NFL primetime about 15 minutes after the game was over. Why do they always have to mess everything up. Bring me back Theismann, McGuire, and Patrick. IMO they were the best group.

Blame the NFL not ESPN.

ESPN had an exemption to show longer game clips, that went away last year hence so did Primetime as we knew and loved it.

yup - that totally sucks. Primetime was the PERFECT way to end a day of football.

Its because of NBC getting the Sunday night game. The NFL wants people to go there, not to ESPN.

I'm about to write a big blog about this, it's been brewing inside of me for a few weeks now.

The Blitz isn't horrible, it's just NFL Primetime on a smaller scale...

You are correct sir!

You mean, "let's-see-just-how-many-talking-heads-we-can-squeeze-into-one-show night in America".

There, I wrote my blog about it on the frontpage...

It's been a loooong time coming.

I've kinda gravitated towards NFL Gameday with Eisen and Marriuci. The worst part is having to see/hear Deion Sanders.

I'll catch Football America sometimes only because I like Keith Olberman, but I can't stand Costas.

Now if they could just get Olberman on Gameday with Eisen and Marriuci, we'd be golden!

I agree with this... I really, really, really miss Primetime... The NFL just seems different without it. That said, The Blitz doesn't suck, it's just not Primetime...

You gotta wonder what goes through the minds of league execs at times...

I'm watching NFL Gameday more this year. But, that show is too long with too much filler. Primetime had a perfect pace and level of commentary.

I would bandwagon to get Primetime back!

I really thought NFL Gameday was going to be ok, but there is just too much Deion. He was ok in small doses and even offered some interesting views, but the more I listened the more I found out what a biased knucklehead he really is. Why would anyone one with any credibility tell us after 4 weeks that a 2-2 team is not a playoff team? Even if you thought they had no shot why throw your unsolicited opinion around as if it was gospel?

Top that off with his yelling during highlights, and their constant buttkissing of the top teams gets really boring.

Anything with Olberman and Collinsworth is ghastly.

PTI Kornheiser and Wilbon at halftime was terrible as well. (Tonight)

Tonight?? How 'bout every night!!! They SUCK!

Olberman is a tool but I like Collinsworth. He actually adds credibility to the show. Of course I've only watched the show maybe 3 times ever.

Ah yes!!
