What Happened Sportscenter?

Sportscenter used to be a daily necessity; I would watch it before school every morning while I got ready and watched it every night before I went to bed. I even remember in high school my youth group had a prayer meeting before school on Monday mornings. All the guys who got there early would huddle around the TV and watch Sportscenter; not only was it Sportscenter but it was a re-run of the Sunday Night Sportscenter which was special because it was an hour long, they had a Sunday Night Conversation, and of course the Plays of the Week. But now I avoid Sportscenter like the plague.

Where are the highlights?
It should be pretty simple. Sportscenter is a show that informs us about what happened in that day of sports so it would make sense to show us all the highlights of all the games. But they can’t even get the simplest thing right. First of all Sportscenter has become a talk show. In an hour episode of Sportscenter you’ll now get about forty minutes of the show discussing what happened in a game and what it means blah, blah, blah. Sorry, but I’d rather see the highlights of all the games. Especially since they talk about just one or two games and nothing else gets noticed. If you played on Monday night, forget about it. The one NFL game on Monday night will get more air time than every other sport combined. On the rare occasion that they show highlights of your game they’re not going to show much.
