ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 OK so why is it that you can find every other friggin' episode of Rome is burning on ESPN.com but you cannot find the Lids one, maybe it takes a day or two to get it up there! Bettman blocked it citing over exposure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Bettman blocked it citing over exposure. He was bulls*** about the fact that the actual champs were on TV representing the league they are actually the champions of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Bettman blocked it citing over exposure. Imagine if Sean Avery was on "Rome is Burning". Bettman would have picketed the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 Color me surprised. Rome is worth viewing sometimes, but nothing else on ESPN is. I only caught it because I was at a sports bar. Normally that Mickey Mouse network is not worth watching. A different night, same sports bar, same Disney networks, usually I get them to change one of the TVs to the NHL Network, but for some reason I didn't. Anyway, there had been six games and the four-letter only showed one game's highlights. ONE. That's not a network where I want the NHL. It's been more than a year since I started my Mike & Mike boycott, and I'm better for it. I can't remember the last time I logged onto the ESPN.com, and I'm better for it. Except for that Mickey Mouse network's ubiquitousness I wouldn't bother with it at all either, and I'm better for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 Oh and another thing. IIRC the Lidstrom interview was the same night ESPN was amazing (sic) enough to mention Gordie Howe's birthday. Isn't that awesome!? Two hockey and Red Wings mentions. Yet they failed to break down any game that was happening that night like they did for nearly all the basketball games. The MMN's (Mickey Mouse Networks) were too busy covering Plaxico Buress' trial and other thing like that which I can't remember right now. Yeah ESPN would be totally awesome and cover more hockey if the NHL went back to it. NOT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
