ESPN or Fox Sports 1? Let the Debate Begin!

SportsFan2342 · 08-16-2013, 08:30 PM

If you havent already heard the new Fox Sports 1 Network launches tomorrow. I have heard many people say that they are excited for the network since they are tired of ESPN. I would love to see another network try and challenge the "worldwide leader in sports." let me know your thoughts below!

Both Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson who used to work for ESPN will be on the Fox Sports 1 Network

dholt30 · 08-16-2013, 08:32 PM

Love me some sweet female reporters.

MarshallCutler6 · 08-16-2013, 08:36 PM

I don't really care, but Erin Andrews is the only female reporter I find tolerable, so I guess I'll go with fox sports 1

eliteco3 · 08-16-2013, 08:37 PM

I dunno. All Espn talks about is Manziel & the Yankees so I will try the other network

CALVINXLIONSX81 · 08-16-2013, 08:41 PM

Fox Sports 1, just because our Michigan boy Ryan Field will be an anchor.

lambeauleap87 · 08-16-2013, 09:03 PM

Assuming Fox Sports 1 talks about more than Tebow, A-Rod, and Manziel, I think they'll have an easy advantage.

She's more than tolerable when naked

I'll be tuning in!

mrmojorisin71 · 08-16-2013, 09:35 PM

Neither, I have no desire to watch news on the cowboys, jets, tim tebow or any baseball team...ever

DieselPack1996 · 08-16-2013, 09:40 PM

They better be sending reporters around the US to report another "only in our area" new team or I kill their first borns

when it comes to ratings, ESPN has Monday Night Football and that's all that matters. if FS1 is doing NFL games, and somehow gets playoffs of other major sports like MLB and NBA, then they may catch up. but so far i think their big thing is UFC content, which as an MMA fan i enjoy, but won't get near the audience that ESPN gets on a constant basis.

I used to love ESPN, however, the past few years they havent gotten worse and worse. I know they want to discuss the hot topic but dedicating the whole show to 2 or 3 items is ridiculous. I also hated when ESPN did away with the real first take, not the embrace debate crap it is now. First Take was always the alternative to SportsCenter and they would always have on athletes interviewing them instead of just going back and forth.

Kobe24>MJ23 · 08-17-2013, 12:38 AM

Charissa was the only reason I watched that show

JHinGA09 · 08-17-2013, 02:02 AM

Didn't NBC try a sports network?

Still going, and doing well they just picked up every game of the Premiere League soccer so they will have quite the following.

They sadly have hockey, so nobody watches in the U.S because ESPN doesn't talk about it.

If fox sports has women of this caliber on I would watch it all day.

Hmmm... Food Network, DIY, Travel Channel, the Cooking Channel, ESPN, ESPN2, and the NFL Network were the only channels I ever watched. Oh and the occasional AMC.
Probably why I cancelled my DirecTV and cable...

mickdapug · 08-17-2013, 06:17 AM

Plus its now the carrier of all ufc +1

Qwasian · 08-17-2013, 06:44 AM

if they let randy moss keep takling like last night it's probably not going to work, he repeated the same thing like 50 times.......

"So Like I Said"............. and kept saying the same thing about brady over & over & over.

I am not really stuck on just one network I probably check em both out from time to time.

Cactuspies · 08-17-2013, 07:39 AM

here will be my new cable listings and I hardly watch any of them as it is.

31 Fox Sports 1 - bye bye fox speed channel
32 ESPN 2
33 ESPN
34 Fox Sports AZ
