The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I hate to be the "back in my day" guy, but I remember a SportsCenter that actually showed a ton of highlights instead of 3 months of NFL draft hype. It was great.

I remember watching it Sunday night or Monday morning during football season and seeing highlights of all the games. Now its twenty minutes of Cowboys, twenty minutes of their flavor of the month team or player, and a few minutes for a couple other teams.

If that. As a Midwesterner I get really tired of the coastal bias.

At least Central Time Zone isn't that far off. It's near hopeless here out West at times.

Is it jsut me, or is it harder to watch their highlights now (when they do show them) - With the quick cut camera shots and fast editing. It can make it hard to see what just happened.

It is way harder. There is no context and they only show about two highlights from the end of the game and that is it.

The people they have covering the world cup are awful. Lalas is the epitome of douche.
And the people they have covering this Miami Heat shit are even worse. Who is that Brian Winhorst guy who has essentially stalked LeBron for his whole career to cover just him? Creepy.

Their World Cup coverage is light years ahead of where it was in 2010, let alone 2006 when they had people that have never done a soccer game announcing the games.

Jack Edwards doing soccer was entertaining though.
Their soccer coverage in general is pretty good. ESPN FC is a solid show, it's just on at an odd time.

ESPN FC is very good, it's basically all there is now that the Fox Soccer Channel is gone.
I haven't really watched SC in a while, but have they changed the format?
I was watching Fri nite while at a bar between sets of a band and they were going to show Trout's HR. His was 3rd on the list, so I figured cool, I'll see it in a few minutes. Then they popped in something else, then something else, then broke for World Cup Coverage and then added something else. By then I said for get it and moved on.

Is this a new thing or just a one time crapfest?
They've been doing that for awhile with their live shows.
