Looks like ESPN is attempting to be a little proactive in a possible war with Fox Sports 1....

I agree.

Well I guess hell has frozen over. I'm pretty shocked actually. You know, I guess you could say that ESPN is firing the first salvo at Fox Sports 1 but who's to say that Olbermann at ESPN2 will work?

 

[dfergie]

Watching now, not bad, I'll watch every now and then...

Mark Cuban was a good guest...

Not a fan of him before, and not a fan of him now. Nothing to do with his political stance, the guy is just annoying to me.

?Personally, Ive been watching FS1, and I will probably stick with them except during game time and College Gameday (if their alternative version does not pan out).

First time I've watched ESPN or in this case ESPN2 when they haven't had Racing, Softball, Baseball or Football... beats the crap out of Sportscenter which I haven't watched in years imho.

Olbermann may be a blow hard, but he knows his sh*t when it comes to sports. I quite enjoy his ESPN show. When he stops talking about politics he is tolerable.
