There are a lot of sports fans out there that also gamble. So it is like watching a sports event because they use stradegy and cunning just like in other sports and people have dreams of winning all the money. And for me it is to gain tips on how to improve my game.

The commentators SUCK!! I'm so glad they're done. You are right, too many commercials. Some of them are pretty enjoyable the first couple times you see them (Kahne & the "I must be dreamin') but after the millionth time, I get p*ssed!

I hate all of these new shows...they really have to get be Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, and Pete and Pete....they start to make these show that are on for like a week...then they take them off but they had to take off an old show...Like Pelswick, it was on for like a month then taken off, but they took off a old show for that.

I would like to know too.  I don't get OLN and I don't understand how ESPN shows poker and not hockey.  Seriously, whoever watches poker on TV needs to get a life.

Saw just the opening of the show. The celebrity cast is seems kinda disappointing and so I haven't watched it ! But I guess you can't expect superstars bearing through all this. 5 hours a week to squander again seems such a waste. Guess I'll watch one episode and decide if it is worth the while.

Hi Joey, \n\nPart of the problem I feel is our media's commerical approach to covering sport. Viewership means ratings and without ratings, there's no coverage. So in spite of the interest, if the networks aren't convinced of the potential, they won't commit air time.  I may be mistaken, but I'm relatively certain that many of the broadcast networks in Europe and Asia are state controlled and sport programming is viewed differently than here. DO you remember ABC's Wide-World of Sports? No network bothers to try to show sports in this manner anymore, they'd rather stick with NASCAR and Wrestling...\n\nAs interesting as these sports may be to the average fan, some of the competitions may not translate well to viewing on TV.\n\nAs for ideas, well...I think it's going to be necessary for the governing bodies of these sports to work together to gain viewers through advertisement, corporate sponsorships, free promotion (like free clinics) and so forth. It's going to take a more grass-roots effort while you continue to court younger viewers. Help your fans make demands of the broadcasters and then they'll need to support them by watching the competition. It also would hurt for the Olympians to get involved collectively if possible.\n\nFinally, SHOW the competition. I realize you and the other athletes have little to say about how a competition is shown, but I absolutely hate the way US television broadcasts Olympic sports. They constantly cut away from competition, have FAR too many "human-interest" stories and show far too little competition. A poster mentioned being board by track presentations? Well, track may not be for every viewer, but if they'd show complete competitions, that might change. The same goes for Winter sports.

OK since a bunch of stupid people thought it was for Americans how about if I give the REAL STORY of this. Hockey isn't a very popular sport among ratings. Actually if the ratings were 1-2% the league just about has a heart attack. Well Fox has become a sports network and did excellent with the NFL. They thought they would try to bring intrest to hockey. After all they were paying all that money for the contract they thought MAYBE they could raise the ratings and make it worthwhile. So they went out and talked to non-fans(not just Americans to those in Canada that need to GROW-UP) and asked why they didn't like/watch hockey. They were being told it was hard to follow, among other things people weren't sure where the puck was. So Fox put the chip in so they could make the puck glow, and they could show it "through" the wall when it got too close to the wall. It allowed people to know where the puck was better. Well here comes the problem. The purists HATED the glowing puck, it was actually kinda distracting by how big it made the puck look. The bigger problem though was that RATINGS WENT DOWN. See the non-fans didn't start watching and the purists and people who were fans for the most part stopped watching. So the "Glow" puck and the Comet Trail were ended. The Comet trail for those who forget was when a slap shot was taken. If the puck went above like 90mph a little trail was shown from where the shot was taken to where it stopped and the speed. That wasn't really liked by the purists either but honestly it wasn't as bad as the glow puck. I mean it only showed on for a few seconds at most.

Yeah. Tony Kornheiser blows. Way annoying. Sunday Night Football with Al Michaels and Madden is way better. That's what MNF is supposed to be.

it's called 106.7 needs help?? I'm from Detroit but I don't live there anymore, that was my favorite station ... that sucks ... by the way Detroit has the best radio in the country, coming from that to anything else is weird, there's NO variety!!! Only one station for every genre, it's horrible. Guess you'll have to go back 101.1 Wrif :(

The Ravens D must have been the only ones to make the trip to Cincy cause they didn't bring an offense. But then again the Bengals drove down the field at will but couldn't get it in the endzone and had to settle for a couple of FG's. Don't know what happend in the 2nd half which was pretty boring. I for one like the Thursday night game and I've always enjoyed the NFL network but they could have atleast found better anouncers to call the game. I mean Chris Collensworth and Brian Gumble wtf is up with that. That has got to be the worse decision ever. What's the difference in a game being played on the nfl network than espn nothing to me cause I have Direct TV. Good for me and sucks to all the pissed of people with cable lmao.

I think it has to do with it being football season. If it were baseball season, there would be more baseball stuff. ESPN always has its "Instant Classics" during the season. I'm sure that then the NBA heats up, you will see more NBA stuff on there, although I'm not sure about the NHL, seeing how ESPN no longer carries it. They just go with whatever is the major sport at the time.
