What the hell is ESPN doing with Sportscentre

what the hell do they think with the idea to get rid of the US version of Sportscenter.... i don't want another version of Sport tonight or the fox sports news channel with the same 30 minutes of news running on repeat for 24 hours....

i want my NBA, College, NFL and MLB scores, highlights and stories.... heck i'd even be happy to see ice hockey rather than ryan phelan and more news about tennis and cricket.....

surely if you are going to further destroy what is a great channel but now really a soccer channel then include the real american version of espn in the suit of channels.....

i wanna be able to watch round the horn, then PTI and then the start of Sportscentre and then back for the end of PTI and then back to Sportscenter

Is the Australian Sports Center going to replace the US version?

No, you can watch the American Sportscenter at 5:30pm every day.

PS: Does anyone follow the Oakland Raiders here? I'm a big fan, and haven't been able to find anyone that's a fan in Adelaide, although I've found some in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

the Bears all the way!!! Rex Grossman has grown out of his inconsistent form and is ready and focussed to take on the saints and hopefully lead Chicago to victory. What about the Colts and Patriots rivalry. I still bite my lip guessing who is gonna come on top out of this match up. Any thoughts?

but the 5:00 version of PTI has the end cut off and doesn't link into Sportcentre

The 5pm version of PTI has always been the edited version. They replace the 'happys' segment with the segment they do during Sportscentre.

Why would ANYONE born outside the US follow gridiron?

Talk about a yawn fest full of egos.

I initially thought that about NFL... but when you get into it its actually very interesting, knowing all the tactics they use, just for one play. but it is very slow which throws me off it a bit

Grossman if anything, will lose the Bears the game, not lead them to victory. If the Bears win it will be because of their defence or their running backs controlling the field.

I am a Foxtel subscriber and was worried about this as well. Contacted Foxtel and it appears that the Australian version will be in the mornings and the American version will still be in the evenings. Hopefully this info is correct.

This is a good post and very relevant.The Australian Sportscentre is a crapfest, I want the normal U.S Version of Sportcentre , does anyone have the email address of whoever is in charge of this horrendous decision as it would be greatly appreciated and they will receive a spiteful email from me , its not enough for Foxtel to fill the channels with crap for constant ads for jamster mobile clubs, silly WAP porno games and now this ,well this time I say enough is enough. Rant over

you know what one of the most funny/bad things for foxtel this new aussie sports centre does.....

they use foxtel footage for Aleague and NBL etc and it shows how bad the video quality is that foxtel digital is.... what a massive con foxtel digital was..... sure the audio is a fraction better.... but the video quality is far worse free to air tv with a tv with rabbits ear for an antenna...... as soon as they show a long range shot of a soccer field it is grainy as buggery......

if you have ever been to the US yall will know what i am talking about, there regular feeds of sports are awesome let alone the HD feeds... you should see NBA and NFL in high def it is like being at the game.......

from a financial perspective it a bizarre decision to employ new staff and all the cutting of footage they have to do in bistol of aussie sports

can we at least get the saturday double headers of NBA.... and maybe a fraction less soccer....

just give us the direct ESPN feed, with ESPN 1 and 2, ESPN News and maybe even classic and U, happy to pay for it

Totally agree with your comment on Foxtel and there CRAP Australian version of Sports Center, don't they realize we order ESPN to get Sports Center, Around the Horn, Pardon the Interruption etc, and then they have to screw around and replace it with the Australian version. Who want's to hear about cricket and football and tennis when you can watch the local news and get all the boring results there!!!
