So roughly 6 years ago I stopped watching ESPN or caring that much about sports beyond reading the sports section or checking scores on the web. I guess you could say I grew up and switched to news. This morning every news channel had Pope shit on so I turned on ESPN to watch with breakfast.

WHAT THE NEGRO f**k??

I turn on ESPN and am assaulted by the most horrendous noise puncturing my eardrums, I assume it was rap. And the commentators were speaking Ebonics. "Check out that shot dawg!"

WHAT THE NEGRO f**k?


hip-hop culture really needs to be eradicated off the face of this planet before we are all doomed Embarassed

what show were you watching? Was it like NBA Insider or something?

Only show I watch is Baseball Tonight, and they have no ebonics what so ever. There is even an African American on the show, and he doesn't even speak a word of ebonics.

Who cares? ESPN sucks, and has sucked for many years.

That's like asking "Does MTV play music videos anymore?"

No clue what show I was watching, the highlights were basketball but it could have been Sportscenter. I only left it on for about 45 seconds before I switched to the History Channel for the win.

There line up between 3-5 is great TV. Pretty much the only thing that they have left that is Quality. PTI being the best of the shows on there. Those guys are quality.

The History Channel is the greatest thing to ever happen to TV, although I do get a little tired of WWII stuff.

Anything with Chris Berman is also good. ESPN is lame, but the crown for worst sports programming goes to "Real Sports" with Bryant Gumbel on HBO. God I hate that show.

I love history channel. In addition to being interesting, it also puts annoying people who come over to sleep. Then they want to leave. You're like "aww see ya later" when you're really thinking 'get the f**k out of my house a*****e.'
