I like it so far.
FUCK ESPN. Too many talking heads and egos for my taste. I've been waiting ever since the CNN/SI network folded for a sports channel alternative.
Now we have it.
No they won't broadcast the best live sporting events. But I think they can OBJECTIVELY give us some sports reporting.
I sure fucking hope.
Are any of you old enough to remember life before ESPN? 
I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for anything great or drastically different out of NBC.
Ah yes, used to have to call the newspaper desk about midnight for the late hockey scores.
Yes kids, look up what a newspaper desk was.

A bar in my town had a dish but the owner/staff had little knowledge of its capabilities. They let me play with it.......I was able to get games on it they never dreamed of. Only problem was the broadcasts shifted channels all the time. An NBA team on a homestand would be on Satcom3 -18 one night then Galaxy1-14 the next. Still, it was always fun searching through all the chans.
That's my point..........I don't care much for what they've become but they shook the big 3 networks' tree & raised the bar for sports broadcasting.

I remember trying to follow the Flyers/Canadiens conference finals series while I was in law school. We found some bar who would put it on, but we always had to find the game itself. Because those feeds were basically raw, you'd occassionally hear an announcer say "how about that last fucking hit!" during a commercial break. It was great.
