there used to be a "sex" reel in Editing (for those of you from back in the day, it was upstairs in edit "E" I believe it was across from the old graphics). And that sex scene was on there. I first saw it in either late 96 or early 97, when I was a temp PA still. The video was quite long (no pun intended), and had 6-8 sex scenes. The last one I know of that got added to it was from Seattle during a Raiders/Seahawks game where a guy and a girl provided hand jobs to each other, respectively.

The shot of the guy and the girl just sitting there actually made the hilite as the last shot of video as an inside joke... don't remember who cut the hilite, but I remember that shot

I like how no one seemed to care but the dude on the right was sure left out.

ESPN.com currently has a story up about Steve Job's iResignation.

Seriously, ESPN. Wtf?

Never thought I'd see the day putting on ESPN to see any sports and instead finding myself watching an Eagles concert.

I mean, I voted yes, but I'm in the "I dont like it but I CAN stand it" camp. I'm not much on the internet so it's necessary for me.

The SVP Sportscenter feels like a return to roots.

I honestly dont remember the last time I watched ESPN. I gave up sometime during the 24 hour Lebron/Tebow coverage

That, plus the overriding mindset of "we just showed you 3 hours of a sporting event, now we're going to throw it back to Bristol for Sports Center, where they'll throw it back to us to break down what we just saw instead of showing you EVERY OTHER SPORTING EVENT that took place while you were watching that", plus their reluctance to let on-air talent have personalities and to allow them to make a name for themself drove me to just quit it.

Used to love ESPN. Almost worship them, they were great when they started. They're just bad now. Pathetic.

[smokew11]

its all I watched for years. They moved away from guys like Jayson Stark and more toward hot takes and shouting matches

So are you all saying you dont watch college / NFL games on ESPN? I dont watch Sports Center round the clock like I have in the past, but kinda hard not to watch ESPN during football season.

If something's only on ESPN I won't not watch it purely because it's on ESPN. But there's not much left that I watch that's solely on ESPN. Sunday Night Baseball, I think? Portions of the World Series Playoffs, maybe?

Haven't even watched a 30 for 30 in years just because I haven't heard of one that interests me.

No, I don't actively avoid the entire network. They just don't offer much of anything I'm interested in watching.

[prdstmnky36]

I get not watching it round the clock like many of us used to, I just didn't understand how some people were saying they dont remember the last time they watched ESPN...the Monday night NFL game is on ESPN!

Im an ESPN+ subscriber, just for the UFC coverage. It pretty much impossible to be an mma fan without it these days. Probably the best 5.99 I spend on streaming TV.

[daveshookme]

Monday night what now?

I have almost zero interest in football. I think I watched part of one or both of the conference championship games so I knew barely more than a passing amount for the Super Bowl.

Obviously you’re not a golfer

Two things:

Ashley Brewer is on ESPN now in a burnt orange dress and is super hot.

Also, that guy Tony Kornheiser made fun of Hannah Storm a long time ago for how she dresses, but every time I put on ESPN around 6pm EST lately and see Kornheiser with that stupid hat on, I can only think of "the pot calling the kettle black" saying.
