ESPN 360 sucks
I wanted to watch the video of my school’s football match on ESPN 360. I logged into my desktop (I use Ubuntu), opened Firefox and went to ESPN 360 website. I was shocked to see that ESPN 360 supports only Windows and Mac OSes (Screenshot below). It sucks. The same thing happened with BBC’s iPlayer. The player was initially released only for Windows, but BBC later changed tracks after the pressure from the corporation’s (BBC) regulators. BBC Trust said that the iPlayer was approved on the condition of platform neutrality. BBC then said they would support the online video streaming for all platforms by the end of 2007 and also a downloadable player for all platforms soon. I hope ESPN will learn from BBC’s experience and offer ESPN 360 for all platforms.

I’m still waiting for the BBC to get their act together. Getting pretty close to the end of 2007….
I too hope that they do it soon.
ESPN is as biased as any other part of the media. Clearly they have a love affair with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Tony Kornheiser always sounds like he’s ready to drop to his knees in front of Tom Brady. ESPN’s commentators typically jockey for the best position where Tom Brady’s panties are concerned. If only the Ravens hadn’t defeated themselves against the Pats. THEN the arrogant, ignorand fucksticks at ESPN would have to either admit they’re wrong about the overrated Patsypoos, or suck some serious stfu.
Heh heh heh.
Take that, Tony Kornheiser.
ESPN sucks, Jim Monotone has his head up his own ass and Screwed Up Asshole smithe should never be on Tv is a joke. Even trying to watch any of these repeated programs is the dumbest thing ever, like watching the house of payne, it is painful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we get a real sports network? Not one that just wants to report on Brett Farve not coming back?
