A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Another David to ESPN's Goliath
CBS and NBC have upgraded their cable offerings to offer a slight alternative to ESPN. Now Fox is in the game with Fox Sports 1. I like to complain about ESPN as much as the next guy; shows like First Take, SportsNation and PTI are not my thing. SportsCenter was a great show, but has become too over-the-top with catchphrases and obsessions with celebrity-athletes, like Danica and Tebow.
I'm not sure that the other nets can get me out of my addiction to ESPN, though. I did watch the CNN/SI channel back in the '90s, but I haven't switched to NBCSports or CBSSports yet. Will FoxSports1 be worth checking out in August? I hope so.
