I agree with #22′s main point. Much of ESPN has become unwatchable. But not because of PC attitudes, although that is annoying when it pops up. It is the juvenile conduct of the announcers and the high velocity presentations that bring on nausea. For those still interested in getting a sports fix occasionally may I suggest some of the sports specific podcasts at ESPN. Since I am an ex-pat and, thus, live in a soccer world I enjoy listening to the Brits on the soccer podcasts. Definitely worth a listen are the two very enjoyable commenters – Ivan Maisel and Beano Cook – who produce a college football podcast every two weeks and weekly during the season. Some of the other podcasts, while not as serious and informed as these, will still stick mostly to the specifics of the sports, rather than try to “entertain.”
