I agree with You. It is a shame. I did not realize anyone watched Cricket in the US. I thought that was just in Europe. Bowling needs respect. People need to get out and get people in Leagues. I am not Bowling this Year was still Sanctioned. Every little bit helps.

Well, the team challenge is the best part of the Tour for me and I'm bummed I'll have to watch it on youtube.

BTW, ESPN's sports crawler is annoying.  Run it once every 15 minutes. 
If you're so gutless as to hide behind the ignore button while taking shots at people....why are you even here?

they used to do that, which is weird, especially with the fact that now, that bloody ticker is on all the time and nearly on EVERY ESPN channel.

The only time I hadn't seen it run was the either the SWAC or NCAA Championship tournament (between Maryland Eastern Shore and Fairleigh Dickinson) on ESPNU, and even that was from 3 years ago.

If people need to be updated every three minute on scores they should really get a life.  But that's ESPN for you, the best and worst thing that have ever happened to sports.

Can't argue with the bold. They used to have the tickers every 30 minutes, were on for a minute a the most, then were off. If we're watching the channel, it's because we are interested in what is showing on it at that time, not other sports. If we wanted those other sports, we'd tune in to the channels airing those sports.
