    Default ESPN2 Coverage

    So after I finally caught up on my sleep after the great weekend, I settled down on the couch to watch the game on my DVR. I was dissappointed that they didn't start game coverage until about 12:15 because of the college bb game that ran over.

    Missed the national anthem (and B52 flyover), kickoff, and most of our first drive. Yeah, I know it was just a 3 and out. Can I assume that the DVD (when released) will have everything that they missed on TV?

    They don't sell full game DVDs. The season in review won't have it either.

    What is weird about this is that we were switched over and saw the kickoff and first series in Bismarck (midcontinent) however we did miss the intro. At that time the BB was not over and it appeared they had switched over part of the country, but apparently not.

    The initial broadcast drew the largest cable audience for any piece of programming in the last two years, that's the F.

    These are the people who bring you 24/7 Tim Tebow coverage, and Skip Bayless and is merry band of race baters. All they care about is the next tenth of a ratings point.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Are you referring to hours of actual poignant commentary and insight in a fatasy land pre-game show?
    Sioux SUCK! It just has a nice ring to it.

    I would think so with those fan bases. But what did the 5th broadcast at 5 am the following morning draw? I'm sure Notre Dame fans were glued to the set, then....

    They also now run updates on Rex Ryan's tattoo's and celebrity tweets on the bottomline even if they are only vaguely sports related, i.e Kate Upton's tweet "Don't worry Notre Dame, that happens to the Jets every week."

    Oh and how could I forget, Kobe Byrant joined twitter last week and they have been posting his twitter feed on the bottomline.
