Why do ESPN assume that every single sports fan is interested in seeing - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

the World Series instead instead of Sunday Night Football? I'm so pissed off right now that there is no sunday night football game tonight. Everyone is not baseball fans so why not show a game at all? There was college football on while game 1 of the World Series aired but why not the NFL? This makes me so mad.

Because it's such a big thing, it's the championships. When the Superbowl is on, you don't find basketball on, now do you?

and contracts...ESPN probably had the rights to the WS before. I thought Fox had exclusive rights to the WS though.

My point is, it was college football on during game one last night, so why not NFL during game 2

From what I heard and remember, they have the rights until 2006, I think.

I agree with you Solomon...put on a game. Some people hate baseball.

It's like that every year.

Although I am not a baseball fan, I can understand why ESPN does that.

What I am getting fed up though, is Sitcom Anayzer's childish temper tantrums, for some one is supposedly 28 years old.

Get A Life !!!!!

If I get banned or warned for the above comment, so be it.

wickthayer · 10-20-2003, 05:05 PM

I would doubt you get banned for that. I would like them to have a game on, but I am not freaking out about it. Is there one on this Thursday then? Please tell me I didnt miss it last Thursday??
