The best-known sports analyst on ESPN is Stephen-A Smith, which is a pity…read more Smith's ego is as high as Mount Everest, and though he often has other sports analysts on his various shows, he almost never allows them to speak. Virtually every Stephen-A Smith telecast is a monologue, even with experts and ex-players on the show presumably invited to talk. Not as well known, but at least as difficult to watch as Smith, is Tony Kornheiser, who shares time on the 5-times weekly Pardon the Interruption with the benignly knowledgeable Mike Wilbon. Kornheiser is just plain awful, and difficult to watch because of his mannerisms, such as putting on then taking off his eyeglasses. In my view, the best analysts include Kendrick Perkins on the NBA and Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark, and Domonique Foxworth on the NFL.

Thank you ESPN. You are my favorite channel. Without you, TV would not make sense. It'd be like…read moresunglasses on a blindman. K, that was mean. I go to sleep and wake up to you every single day. HD display is amazing. College Gameday, yes. WSOP, yes. NFL, yes. NBA, yes. 30 for 30, yes. PTI, yes. Sportscenter, yes. Highlights of the day,week, month, year...YES! As Jerry Maguire once said, you complete me. (no homo)

The paper's fine. I'm more partial to my home town's flyer, seeing that's the only information I…read morecan't easily find online. Still, no complaints there. Where my patronage and respect is lost is the customer service. I was contacted about an outstanding balance about half a year after subscribing initially, for a year's subscription, mind you. They claimed I had renewed my subscription a few months earlier. I calmly informed them when I had subscribed and that I was willing to submit proof if necessary, but I would not pay the balance. They told me it would be removed and didn't say another word. Over the past two months I've been calling them back regularly on this matter, and although every single person has assured me the issue has been resolved, it in fact has not been. More recently I was contacted by a collections agency regarding the balance. I was furious, to say the least, and threatened legal action. Finally after a couple more calls I got through to a supervisor, and they seemed to handle the situation, as I finally have no balance at the agency either. I've also asked them to cancel my subscription, as I'm outside of the US this year. Apparently it has been, yet the paper still arrives, so I'm reasonably skeptical. The absolute incompetence of every single customer service representative I've spoken to is astounding. Don't get mixed up with these clowns. If you really love getting the paper, just pick it up at a gas station. If you have a subscription and run into the same situation as me, I wouldn't be as patient as I was with this. Go straight to the supervisor. They might be your only hope.

the courant digital and customer service is absolutely the worst.First complaint was both times I…read morecontacted customer service,I could barely understand the person at the other end, and I am sure a great deal was lost in translation.I was unable to access the digital edition for 2 months but was charged every month for it, was never given an adjustment.I cancelled my account, and then shortly afterward jumped on a deal for the next year when they tried to get me back as a customer.The price is right, but I still have the same problem accessing the digital edition, although I gain access half the time, the other half of the time I am denied access. Their customer service is a joke and so is this newspaper.If they offer you a special introductory rate, cancel after the period expires.
