I must say that ESPN's coverage of Wimbledon is much better than NBC's

I can't watch ESPN for that long anymore. It used to be the first thing I'd turn on and it would stay on until I was up to date with all of the previous day's games. But now it seems as though there's constant filler with sappy montages for some no-name athlete who died that no one has ever heard of. I agree that it's becoming more and more like MTV.
The only thing I can really watch is Baseball Tonight. It's a well done show.

I still watch ESPN a lot, though there are plenty of shows and stuff they do thats more irritating than anything else. But Baseball Tonight is definitely one of the few things in the summer I watch with any regularity (though, tonight, the Braves game takes precedence).

Oh, yeah, it's not that I don't watch ESPN, or frequently visit espn.com or read ESPN the Magazine. I do all of those. A lot. It's just that there's quite a bit about ESPN any more that makes you want to slam your head into a wall.

Well pretty much after the Jemele Hill article about the Celtics I had just enough of ESPN. She was a large proponent of having Don Imus fired for what he said, but goes and says the statement about the Celtics and ESPN does just about nothing. Baseball Tonight is just all I can enjoy watching.

I've been meaning to complain about this for a while, but the "Titletown" thing is soooo irritating.
I haven't been this annoyed since the "Who's Now" disaster.

I quit paying attention to any "Titletown" segment on ESPN weeks ago. Why, ESPN, why?

I have no idea why they ran it. They have two outcomes, and both of them suck for ESPN:
1) They give Green Bay the title, as they should, as it's, you know, actually the city's nickname. Then, everyone calls it completely pointless, completely predictable, and a complete waste of time.
2) They give it to someone else, and 90% of the people who care are upset that they would try to steal a nickname away from a small town like Green Bay.

Yeah, this is ridiculous to try and take a nickname away from a city. Green Bay didn't get the title of Titletown through a cable channel tournament. So how can the nickname be taken away through one?

The link for voting is up. So we can all go there and vote the hell out of Green Bay.
And really, is that not the stupidest thing of all of this? Not only are doing this, but they're leaving the final vote up to a fan poll on the internet? How stupid is that.

I hope someone else has a vote to give a city the title "Armpit of America". I'd vote Bristol, Connecticut.

Of all the choices, you knock Pittsburgh? Seriously?
Five Super Bowl Titles.
Five World Series Titles.
Two Stanley Cups
Birthplace of Arnold Palmer, as well as the hometown of five former Boxing World Champions.
The Pitt Panthers have 9 claimed football national titles, including two recognized by the AP, plus another two (way long ago) in Men's Basketball.
Really? You want to knock Pittsburgh?
(And, keep in mind, this is coming from a native Clevelander)

I would vote for Braithwaite, Louisiana but that has nothing to do with sports,
