I’m sure a lot, but lets be honest, not every person uses the internet like the people who read this site. Don’t you think?

ESPN’s baseball highlights are much less fun to watch these days — aren’t they already being limited to how much of a game they can show?

I agree it will take some time for the King to be toppled. But until ESPN starts buying leagues, there will be direct options that may whittle the throne a bit.

People want to watch that home run, 3 point shot or 72 yard touchdown run. Content is king and as long as ESPN has access to the content, it will do well.

But watching the sports news and commentary from experts isn’t going to change anytime soon.

People want to watch video and content is king, so unless web platforms can get the content, SportsCenter will do just fine.
