Serious question. I need a better sports site, and have been sampling a few, but need reliable, easy to follow, real-time. Suggestions?

CBS?
Fox?

I use NFL.com for that sport, obviously.

NBA.com seems weak.

I don't hate the Yahoo Sports site. You just need a blocker installed on your browser that stops videos from auto-playing. Their layout for box scores is pretty decent and they're a solid aggregator of content from other sites.

Not knowing how to tie a tie is his thing.

There is a nonzero chance that RJ wore clip ons.
 
How long has it been since RJ has worn a tie? How long has it been/if ever has RJ worn a tire with a full sleeve shirt?

Was this worth the effort?

I would have figured the firings to be over at this point. How would you have liked to have been Jaws or Hoge and figured that you had survived the chopping block only to hear that they weren't done yet?

I know ESPN has to do what is needed to survive, but they really screwed up when they overpaid for all those properties. They are unwatchable and unreadable at this point.

Usually when you screw up and times are tough is when you start cutting the fat and making smart business decisions. All of these people that have been fired were likely grossly overpaid and you can hire replacements to do a similar job they were doing at a fraction of the cost. I have no idea what they paid Marc Stein or Ron Jaworski, but I am imagining its a number thats shockingly high.
 
Rusillo was on M&M this a.m. Thought he was 1 of the folks who was canned.
 
Any truth that Kanell was dismissed just for being a bad dresser ?
