I work for a NBC station and to be honest this is a big F-U to ESPN for stealing Wimbledon. It was on NBC for 30 years. It was fine there. We had good ratings. Now all of the top stars are either dropping out due to injury or getting creamed in the 1st or 2nd round. It's the TV gods getting back at ESPN for being the "exclusive home for Wimbledon". I'm a little bitter, yes. But ESPN is making it more and more difficult for average people to watch the sports they love. Look at the Bowl games - none of them are on ABC. All of the big games are on ESPN. Next year they are taking the US Open, too. So if you want to watch sports you have to have Cable. Can't watch anything on an antenna now!! It stinks!!
Sorry, my 2 cents for the afternoon
