ESPNCheap Magazine, Literally
by: david chase
Back inday ESPN was merely space fodder for people with cable subscriptions; back when only"real" sports fan (me) could sit in front oftube and bear withconstant rambling of numbers and statistics. Oh it was great. Back before they offeredcheap magazine subscription that was nothing more thenextension to their online subscription service they offered through their website. These weregood old days.

No over-sized clowns sprayingscreen with saliva as they screampoint that has already been beat to death by every other major sports media outlet. No silly Ebonics from Stuart Scott and his lowly attempts at integrating hip-hop lingo and culture with sports commentating. Back inday Berman's sound effects, wit and satirical humor were actually pretty clever; they were fun, and stimulated conversation amongstboys who played ball out front. Now your left with mainstream content,"edge" is gone,only thing that spews out of these writer's pens, and analysts mouths is sponsor-friendly garbage.

Can anybody take ESPN's content seriously anymore? Sportscenter wasmorning ritual. ESPNMagazine would have beenno-brain annual subscription; Peter Gammons and his sports monologues--todiehard--were simply un-passable. Could you imagine how great their magazine's content would be without ESPN having to be handcuffed by their endless affiliates, and licensing partners? It would be nice to sit back and getreal opinions out of these analysts and writers. Honestly, its probablyonly thing I miss abouteightzero's.

I don’t want dummied down content from their discount magazine and their trashy over-sized recycled paper they call pages. I want opinions on how they really feel aboutcontroversy in sports. Aslong time ESPN fan it has become disheartening watchingnetwork dive head first into homeplate only to have their nose busted byCatchers shin-plates.
