June 16, 200422 yr Author '98 Yankees declared best team ever... :blink: Even better than the '96 Chicago Bulls who went 72-10??? The '96 Bulls who swept the 60 win Magic and beat the 64 win Sonics in the finals 4-1... The '95 Nebraska football team was number 10??? They scored like 40 points a game and only were trailing like 12 minutes the whole season...Not to mention they beat UF 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. A UF team that was undefeated and had a QB who threw 44 TD passes...Crazy. Who Knows? It's ESPN.
June 16, 200422 yr espn plays favorites constantly. if they could just start being objective instead of only paying attention to the 'big' teams..... they could be good again.
June 16, 200422 yr ESPN is tanking in my opinion. Bit off more than they could chew by doing opinion stuff. Why not just air the games, show the highlights, bring in a little less opinion and give us the sports news?
June 16, 200422 yr Opinion is fine....in snippets. Showing the sports reporters on Sunday mornings is fine. All the reality crap they have done which has all been greatly unoriginal and recycled has sucked. ESPN does some good things...but they overdo it constantly. Sportscenter is a piece of crap. Almost every person on that show is a robot of the other. They used to have 'character' and 'personality' now its the same crap constantly and the same old tired cliches.
June 16, 200422 yr Why couldn't ESPN introduce a Tuesday Night Baseball package? I think most people would rather see a baseball game on Tuesday Night than the filler crap ESPN shows. Anybody agree?
June 16, 200422 yr if i recall ESPN used to have two nights of doubleheaders. yes, but they picked up the NBA and that went bye bye. Used to be Fridays I believe.
June 16, 200422 yr i dont think ESPN has ever had a doubleheader on Friday nights for baseball. i want to say it was originally Tuesday and Thrusday with a game on Wednesday night also....but i'm old..i forget.
June 16, 200422 yr fox sports net also had a thursday night game of the week also i believe only for a year. if the networks begin to recieve higher ratings for baseball games...it would make sense to add at least another game a week for each network. i think a nationally scheduled game of the week on friday nights in the summer would do good on Fox.
June 16, 200422 yr ESPN took FX's Saturday Night (last contract didn't give Friday night telecasts anymore) and ABC Family's Thursday Night games and converted it to Monday Night Baseball and the DayGame. FX used to have Friday Night Baseball in the mid 90's I believe.
June 16, 200422 yr fox sports net also had a thursday night game of the week also i believe only for a year. if the networks begin to recieve higher ratings for baseball games...it would make sense to add at least another game a week for each network. i think a nationally scheduled game of the week on friday nights in the summer would do good on Fox. FOX tried it this year with that special Yankees-Red Sox game. They used to do it when they didn't have primetime programming. Saturdays and a weeknight that wasn't Wednesday. I think FOX should add a Friday night baseball package as well that is truly national.
June 16, 200422 yr Author Fox should have baseball on more constantly IMO. And ESPN doesn't show enough baseball either. They're the 24 hour sports network, you'd think we could see much more live sporting event, but I guess not. It's turned into entertainment to a mugh too great degree.
June 16, 200422 yr isnt it funny how the yankees greatest team wasnt built by buying the whole roster? the bulls and yankees are most definitely 1-2, but i think MJ being on the bulls is the tiebreaker 96 bulls > 98 yankees
June 16, 200422 yr ESPN....yah, let's watch reruns of World Series of Poker instead of baseball. I think ESPN used to have Sunday Night and Wednesday Night doubleheaders...that was only a couple years ago. Now it is "Sunday Night Baseball"...it's one game. Anyway, I think ESPN2 was the beginning of the downfall. They started off playing things that actually made sense...womens basketball, extra mens basketball games, more discussion, the occasional extreme sports. Then they went to Worlds Strongest Man/Woman, World Series of Poker, Spelling Bee, etc. :banghead
June 16, 200422 yr Author Yeah, what's with the Spelling bee reruns being on ESPN 2 in the evening? There is no excuse for that when there are BASEBALL games being played. Remember that sport, baseball?? You know, the national pasttime?
June 16, 200422 yr The '95 Nebraska football team was number 10??? They scored like 40 points a game and only were trailing like 12 minutes the whole season...Not to mention they beat UF 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. A UF team that was undefeated and had a QB who threw 44 TD passes...Crazy. You speak the truth. They should've been at least top 5. I'm still a little upset Frazier didn't win the Heisman that year. Damn Eddie George.

Damn Eddie George. Most freakish college football team I ever saw. Their lineman were all like 400 pounds. Their running back Phillips was a freak, and Tommy Frazier was the best option QB ever. The offense of UF was Wuerffel, Reidel Anthony, Ike Hilliard, Jacquez Green, Fred Taylor. Defense had Mike Peterson and Jevon Kearse. The Huskers made them look like Sissies. Couldn't believe it.

Damn Eddie George. Their only legitimate national title of the 90s. Sorry just a mad Penn State fan. True though that '95 team was dominating. Definite top 5. I'd actually put them ahead of the 72-win Bulls. The Bulls that beat the Blazers and Suns in back-to-back finals should have been #2.
