Comments on: ESPN and the MLS http://wvhooligan.com/2007/09/07/espn-and-the-mls/ A look at Major League Soccer (MLS) through the eyes of a MLS writer and fan. Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:56:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Whip http://wvhooligan.com/2007/09/07/espn-and-the-mls/comment-page-1/#comment-1829 Whip Sun, 09 Sep 2007 04:13:59 +0000 http://wvhooligan.com/2007/09/07/espn-and-the-mls/#comment-1829 Games sometimes being delayed is the nature of the beast with pretty much any network. Just tonight for example, I didn't get to see the start of USF-Auburn or Texas-TCU because of previous games. I do agree that games should be moved somewhere else, if possible (Classic, News, the Ocho, etc.) until the logjam is resolved. I'm slowly coming around to Dave O'Brien, who I believe is improving. But heck, I would improve too if I got a weekly game plus a World Cup to call. I agree, Epp, that the color guys aren't the problem. I find Wynalda opinionated in a good way. ESPN has a lot of people that have opinions and nothing to back them (Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless, I'm looking at you), but I find Waldo's opinions thought-provoking. I also enjoy Tommy Smyth, and look forward to hearing him back with his natural partner, Derek Rae, for Champions League.

When it hit game time last night and the football game was still on, I freaked out! For the fourth time this season, I wrote to ESPN and told them they sucked! Actually my words were a little bit stronger, but I did say what I thought! Here is a league that everyone knows is trying to get bigger and here is a network that couldn't care less. The least they could have done last night was put a little box in the corner of the screen with the game on. But that was obviously too much effort on there part. ESPN needs to make a decision, they either do it right or don't do it at all. This is funny to me. When it hit game time last night and the football game was still on, I freaked out!
