ESPN2

Entertainment Sports Programming Network 2, Channel #35

Once known as the rebellious younger brother of ESPN. They had extreme sports like BMX, motorcross, skating, and snowboarding. Then they would occasionally show off-beat sports like curling, bowling, and others.

Today they just show the top ten sports and all major competitions that ESPN can't handle. One of the few American channels to go to for soccer, why anyone would is still a mystery over here. They did give a 5 second update that U.S. beat Spain and no one cared.

Watching Wimbledon Tennis is semi-interesting but what gets annoying is the reporters going into the stands to banter with the audience. Watching Maria Sharapova is something, hearing her grunt takes it to another uncomfortable level, didn't stay to see who won.

TV is educational. If you can't learn something everyday your box is broken.
