They changed NBA Fastbreak to NBA Nation

[The Czech Republic 0]

Why don't they just call it "Lots Of Guys Yelling At Once."

[The Czech Republic 0]

Seriously does this show EVER end? it's been on since 9.50 and it's still going

[The Czech Republic 0]

Okay now they said NBA Fastbreak is on next? Oh boy

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

[geniusMoment 0]

Those shows lack the something special that Baseball Tonight has, perhaps the horrible hairpiece of Karl Ravech.

[The Czech Republic 0]

That's a hairpiece?

[Guest Leena]

Is Stephen A. Smith on this show?

 

If not, I'll gladly give it a shot.

[The Czech Republic 0]

It's not NBA coverage without Stephen A., Leena, you should know that by now.

 

HE ADDS SO MUCH TO EACH AND EVERY PROGRAM.

 

 

Okay so Fastbreak was just an added half-hour of Nation.

[Guest Leena]

Ugh.

 

Why did they replace David Aldridge for that annoying bastard?

 

WHY?

[The Czech Republic 0]

Because he called Kobe Bryant "the Kobester."

 

Even I had to condone his release after that.

TNT has Aldridge now, for those who didn't know.

[Guest Leena]

I didn't know TNT had Aldridge now. I never go to that channel. Good that they did.

 

ESPN just tries to be annoying now.

[The Czech Republic 0]

TNT has much better coverage than ESPN does but I love that Fastbreak theme.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

i think ESPN knows they can never touch the Barkley show so they don't even try.

 

 

ps - Kevin Fraiser is hosting entertainment tonight. This amuses me.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I don't understand why ESPN has to have Screamin A. Smith on everything. I'm surprised that he hasn't started appearing on ATH.

 

Though ESPN has become one of the worst places to go for analysts.

I'm surprised that he hasn't started appearing on ATH.

He has before and he will again

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

So is Woody done with ATH or has he just not been on for a long time?

[The Czech Republic 0]

He must've been on hiatus because it's not Around The Horn without Woody Paige. I hardly see the show because I'm in class during ATH and most of PTI four days a week.

Why did ESPN think they could put a serious man like John Saunders on the basketball show? The poor man is trying to add insight to the highlights while everybody else was wearing cowboy hats and speaking in accents on the 1st show. ESPN needs to bring back one of the Bills either Walton or Lambeer back to Fastbreak.

Laimbeer. I'll pretend you didn't suggest the other one

 

 

So what IS the difference between Nation and Fastbreak?

[razazteca 0]

One is a pregame show the other is highlights of the games of the night consisting of "bonus" video footage.

[The Czech Republic 0]

I thought Shootaround was the pregame show.

 

Nation seemed to be the old Fastbreak with going from game to game and then lots of guys yelling at once and ripping on Ric Bucher. Fastbreak seemed more like...well the same, but at a different desk. I mean, the two were on one after another last night.

[Guest Leena]

I'll despise Screamin A. Smith for ruining PTI.

 

The stretch where it was him and Bayless... dear God, that was unbearable.

 

That turned PTI into a daily ritual, to a maybe I'll be flip on ESPNEWS and catch the repeat at 6:30 show.
