It's not my perspective. It's what the masses want, and that's why ESPN is so successful. Contrary to what you want, the masses want to hear about the NFL. Sure it might be stupid, and I agree that a lot of it is, but they are only going to do segments that they think there is a demand for.KR1245;698637 wrote:Proper perspective? Dont you mean YOUR perspective?
Personally, I could care less. Maybe Cavs fans want to see highlights of their favorite team. Why do you have a hard time understanding that? ESPn could cut out some of the shit they show on SC and show more highlights. They spent 20 minutes today asking NFL "experts" to name the Top 5 things they will miss if there is no NFL next season. Like anybody cares that Teddy Bruschi is going to miss watching Peyton Manning. Less shit, more highlights.

I couldn't care less either about Cavs highlights. But no one should be surprised to turn on Sportscenter and to not see any Cavs highlights, because the fact is that no one outside of Ohio cares about them.
The masses want to see what the stars have done and highlights. The Cavs were the featured team on Sportscenter last year, because they had the biggest star in the game and were good. Obviously things changed, and therefore, ESPN has to adjust to get a balance of supplying the demand.
Soccer is nowhere near the most popular sport in America. Which is where our version of Sportscenter is shown.It's not my perspective. It's what the masses want, and that's why ESPN is so successful.

dude you really like to talk out of your ass. ESPN is so successful because they are a monopoly. Sports Center had no problem covering the Cavs losing streak..but nobody cares outside of ohio, so why did they show it?
Soccer is the most famous sport in the world, but ESPN shows hardly any highlights. Shouldn't they be catering to what the "mass" wants?
The losing streak was a story. Now the Cavs are just another bad team. New Jersey Nets went through the same exposure when they were on their losing streak last year.Pick6;698652 wrote:dude you really like to talk out of your ass.

Not that I really care that they didn't show the Cavs, I just don't buy that "ESPN only shows what people want to see and they dont show the Cavs because nobody outside of Ohio cares about them" They didnt show the Cavs because they lost. Nobody wants to see the Lebron, Brett Favre, or Melo shit all over ESPN all the time, but they showed it.

The whole Favre thing was hard to understand, but I understood the fascination with Lebron and Carmelo.
If the Cavs end up with two lottery picks this offseason and can play exciting ball next season, they might very well end up more on Sportscenter. But this season is a lost cause, especially with some of the no name guys they are playing with. And no, that's not me being a Cavs hater.
