    I can't put my finger on it, but I just don't care for ESPN much anymore.

    That means nobody other than Rox fans are interested in watching Rox game!

    Can't say I'm surprised. We barely get more than a brief mention on SportsCenter these days.

    In fact, the night after we beat the Nuggets, SportsCenter did a recap of NBA games at the beginning of the show. They moved onto other topics and toward the end of the show they displayed a graphic with the words...

    "Coming up: 'Melo burns Rockets with 34."

    After the commercial break they showed a total of 2 highlights, curtly said "Rockets win," and went on to the "Top 10 plays" segment.

    I would think they would afford our lottery season more respect than that.

    in its place they're going to air reggie bush's high school highlights and/or the 2005 usc college football team vs the greatest armies of all time special.

    well, I can't blame them. We haven't been the most entertaining team to watch.

    Entertainment & Sports Programming Network.

    Although...when they were bought out by ABC, the corporation changed it's name from "Entertainment and Sports Programming Network" to "ESPN Inc." So technically, it doesn't stand for anything right now.

    What took them so long? If I ran ESPN I would have dropped the Rockets game mid-season the way they've been playing.

    If I close my eyes and pretend I'm not a Rockets fan, but instead an ESPN exec, I probably do the same thing.
