One thing that really aggravates me is nobody shows any classic games. If you look at CSTV, NBATV, ESPNCLASSIC, FCS-they show classic games but they water the games. They skip plays, openings, halftime etc. Instead of showing the whole games, they show the same shows over and over again. They take a 3hr. or 3 and 1/2 hr. game and they water it down to two hours with their commercials. Look at ESPNCLASSIC, they show Bull Riding, Poker, Karate, are you kidding me. They show "Classic Big Ticket" in which they take a great game and edit it down for an hour. People may say that it's too expensive to show the games but hey, it's ESPN. They make a ton of cash as well as CSTV, which I believe is owned by CBS. Now, The NFL Network showed classic SuperBowls in Jan. but that was because of it was near the superbowl. Where are they in the middle of March where their's nothing on the channel? Or June?
If I had money and resources I would start my own network. I would show classic nfl games, superbowls with commercials, nfl drafts etc. Same goes for MLB, NHL, etc.
Back to my original point, nobody shows classic games. I think fans would want to see classic games I mean, put it this way, would you rather watch a classic game or some show that you've seen or been repeated 50 times. I think the choice is obvious.
