Sports Nation, you've failed!

by joecool5672 on Dec 30, 2010 1:36 AM EST

Hopefully some of you are familiar with the show Sports Nation on ESPN2. In the past year or so I've become a fan ever since they had Dan LeFevour on as a guest. Tonight I watched an hour long special episode where they did the year in review thing. Basically the whole show consisted of the top 101 "jeers", or bad plays in sports. I sat there for an entire 50 minutes laughing along with the hosts at the top bloopers of the year. I was excited to see what could have possibly topped the list. I was let down and actually infuriated when they revealed the #1 jeer. Our good buddy Brett Favre topped the list. It wasn't a single play but his entire 2010 season. Now I wonder, what the hell has ESPN so infatuated with this guy?!! He's a scum bag! He sends pictures of his willy to his co-worker behind his wife's back and is still idolized! I had high hopes for Sports Nation. It was different, it was fresh and most of all it had potential. But now I see it's just like all the other crap shows ESPN shoves down our throats. I do not plan on watching in the future so as to not help ratings and stop this Bret Favre shit. Maybe I'll be able to turn on sports center or something once Bret Favre is finally gone (like that'll ever happen). I just wanted to know if anyone else saw this. I wondered if anyone was as pissed as me. I've been sick of Bret Favre for the last few years but now this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I seriously hope the next and LAST thing we hear on Favre is how he got flattened by Suh and the disassembly line (or whatever the hell they're called).

*on a side note, I seriously thought the Jim Joyce call on Galarraga would be number one which may have also led to more anger at Farve and the four letter network.

I saw the same show,

And thought that Favre’s 2010 was a pretty good #1 Jeer.

I Kinda saw it as a Slap in the face though. Overall I laughed through the whole thing. My favorite was the Horse race with the guy calling “My wife doesn’t know anything” coming up on “My wife doesn’t know”. HILARIOUS!

It's all about ratings

and Brett Favre moves the meter, like it or not. Just the way it is.

I saw it

and I thought it could have been a better number one jeer but wasnt as mad as you. You might need to calm down a little.

Sports Nation fails everyday.

In fact ESPN as a whole fails.

ESPN was very enjoyable in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Now it’s a shell of itself, and almost unwatchable.

Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen, Linda Cohn, and Kenny Mayne are nowhere in sight. The Anchors nowadays can’t get names, teams, and scores right, at times.

Back to Sports Nation, what’s the point of a show that asks questions in polls and all the show is about, is guessing how the fans answered those poll questions? Really, this is how we spend our time?
