leopard88 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't who writes these things, but the program guide on my cable described SportsCenter as follows (or words pretty close to this -- I didn't have a pen handy):"Hip, Emmy-winning scrapbook of day's home runs, touchdowns and slamdunks."The "hip" part at least fits how ESPN likes to view the show. I think the rest of the description pretty much summarizes the content -- all of the flash without the substance. Does anyone agree or disagree?

leopard88 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 ESPN "Daily events in the life of Barry Bonds with up to the minute live tracking."now thats a sportscenter description. Seriously, what was most amusing to me is that anyone (as I said, I don't know who) would intentionally describe what is supposed to be a sports news program as "hip" and a "scrapbook."

Lee. Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I don't who writes these things, but the program guide on my cable .... You know who I feel sorry for? The little old lady who has to type the synopses for the pr0n flicks on VOD.You just know she's hard-up, and really earning her $7 an hour, typing in verbatim the hardcore descriptions from the backs of the box for Barely Legal 53 or TV Hookers 7: Back to the Back Door.
