LOL, why do you hate Gary Thorne?For me personally is because he constantly botches up player names. Both identifying who the player is and mispronounces names. I think the most important attribute a play-by-play guy should have is accuracy and Thorne fails that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncoempire Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If ESPN is considering another go-round with the NHL, that tells me they may be ready to ditch the NBA at the earliest opportunity. NHL TV rights can be had for a song, but NBA rights are much higher even though their ratings aren't that much better. This would be a good opportunity for ESPN to cut costs while offering a little more variety in their winter programming, which was already nearly wall-to-wall college basketball before they got the NBA.Sorry to disappoint, but the NBA and ESPN just signed an extension to the existing package that keeps the league on ESPN until something like 2016. If they really wanted to cut costs, they would swamp the network with wall-to-wall crap like poker and crap about the Yankees. Oh wait...........Never Mind.

Simple economics and going for the highest bidder.Besides, doubleheaders really only work for football. Do it for the other sports, and it's just not financially worth it.
