| 1. Sorry, I am going to watch it |
|
For 6 years I watched Sunday Night Countdown every Sunday during the football season, it is one of my all time favorite shows and I am not going to let some repug turn me away from it.

I can only watch it on select occasions since I hold season tickets for the Dolphins. I leave around 9:00 AM for 1:00 home games.
ESPN Countdown is probably the most comprehensive show. It's 2 hours and has good commentators like Tom Jackson and Sterling Sharpe.
I try to watch NFL Primetime regularly, but generally I try not to devote too much time to pregame.

| 3. I never watch pre-game shows |
|
But I did e-mail ESPN to complain about having a political hack on a football show. The rat-bastards never replied.

| 4. Tubby can drink as much of that crap as he wants....... |
|
...... I won't watch him even by accident. I usually watch the Bucs games and they are usually carried on the local Fox channel.

| 6. I loved NFL countdown. |
|
But I honestly will not be watching now. The fact that they hired him alone shows that they believe the football audience is mainly right-wing fanatics. And with Al Michaels making his Republicanism plain last season, maybe I'm starting to agree. *sigh*
Sports is not about politics. The only way to prove that to ESPN is NOT TO WATCH.

I'm sure many others feel the same way.

Always have, but just can't stomach the idea of listening to Limbaugh.

| 10. I haven't watched ESPN's NFL coverage in over five years |
|
Because national sports journalists should do their very best not to show bias, and the pack on ESPN are far from that. Chris (I'm a Bills and 49er backer) Berman, Joe (go Skins) Theismann, and Tom (all Broncos all the time) Jackson should be ashamed to call themselves sports journalists. ESPN is Fox News for the sports fan.
The fact that Rush is on there just gave me that much more motivation not to watch.

| 11. That also eliminates the CBS pregame show |
|
Deion (Cowboys, Niners, Falcons) Sanders. To clame a sports show is biased because some of the analysts are former athletes is rediculus. I watched Sunday Night Countdown for years and they do a fair evaluation of all the games.
