Following in the steps of MTV, sports fans beloved network has shifted away from its primary genre. Really, i enjoyed seeing highlights from every game the previous night, even if that includes Pirates vs Royals highlights in the last few minutes of Sportscenter. Now the show is nothing but a twisted game of mad libs with a rotating infamous sports figure as the proper noun of choice for the week. I don't care what (name) had for breakfast this morning. Yes we know there are (number) days until (name)'s court date. Why is the focus on how awesome (name)'s dunk was when his team lost? There are still real sports fans out there and we want all of the boring stats, all of the touchdowns, goals, and opposite field R.B.I. slap singles we can handle in a one hour rotation. Now, what was a one hour rotation is 20 minutes of things you would see on TMZ, Extra, and entertainment tonight. That is of course unless you live in a major city with an overpaying sports franchise. Then you might get a shred of in-depth coverage. So from here on out I will start a segment called "You know what I hate?". It will slowly list all of the things that I think entertainment television has done to take the sport away from sports.
