ESPN No More!

I've had it! I walked into my local watering hole and they had ESPN HD on. You never guess what was on the other day?...the World Championship of dominos!?! And ESPN Classics doesn't play classics.
Well here are my issues. I want to see if me and my friends at my bar are the only one fed up with the programming:
1. The downfall of ESPN Classic: Great idea, but now? I suppose if you like boxing in black-and-white and Division 2 college football games from 1982, it's okay. How about some Boston Red Sox -New York Yankees playoff games? Or recent a Super Bowl?
2. Maybe I'm crazy, but shouldn't TV personalities have, well, personalities? Mariotti and Bayless are the worst, but Wilbon is gathering steam.
3. Barry Bonds Show...EHCK! Need I say anymore?
4. Billiards, Wheel Chair Billiards, even poker and other stuff. OK...I'll watch it, but if there is a great MLB game on, I want to watch that!
OK, maybe because I sit at a bar with my laptop for an hour or two after work typing online before I go to my friendly confines of my apartment. But when all I want to do is watch a game on ESPN, or even the news, all I get is some Dominoe tourny, or a show that has go so down hill they are running neck and neck with the Chicago Cubs in rank for crap.
I just want some better programming, less garbage, less Mariotti and I'll be happy. I won't touch on the ESPY's as we all (including me) already posted that to death tonight. Am I wrong in saying I miss the old ESPN Sports Center when tuning into nightly was a religion and I could get my full dose of sports in. Now with all the crap out there ESPN is looking like it'll open the doors to anyone. As for me, leave the dominos at home.
P.S. I swear, please nobody start a Domino page on here. Sports are sports...no exceptions.
