Has Sportscenter really fallen off, or is it just me?

1 Answer

Answer :

Midsummer has traditionally been the least active time of the sports season. There is partically nothing to analyze except matinée baseball and luckily this year, the Olympics. This is why it seems like Sportscenter is broadcastering only irrelevant skits like Titletown and Camp Confidential (gasp, Chad Johnson dropped another ball). Just wait a bit longer til basketball and football season begin, then there will finally be actual content to discuss. Right now, they’re just struggling to fill an entire episode with “meaningful” discussions.
