Could you imagine, the NHL of all things starts the snowball effect that leads to the demise of ESPN.

It reads like a cheesy comedy.

Kinda like David Vs. Goliath

I would love nothing more than to see ESPN go the way of the dinosaur.

Um... the little guy DOES win in the bible story... thats why its there. David overcomes Goliath by trusting in God.

I hope SI follows through with this.

Honestly, it's high time that another sports network competes with ESPN, which has dominated the national market for years. I'm a bit surprised that Fox has been reluctant to move itself out of the regional market with it's Fox Sports channels to secure a national cable network rivaling ESPN.

If SI jumps onboard, you can expect that OLN will have gained the legitimacy necessary to win the weekday football contract and start it on its way to a healthy competition with the NHL as the centerpeice.

Yes!

I think he was being sarcastic. I think Homer Simpson used same line in same situation as well. Of course Homer was just being Homer.

ESPN doesn't need any help in it's own demise. All they discuss and show is Thugball aka NBA, Red Sox/Yankees, and TO worship. Poker is a fad, What's next The world series of Old Maid or Rummy.

they need to pick up Aussie Rules Football, then they have the trifecta!!!!!

It was a mainstay of ESPN in the early days, as was the Continental Basketball Association and the AWA.
