This has become the most repetitive and annoying thing they've ever done on ESPN. They butchered that open road song, and on top of that they don't even really give you anything interesting on the states. FAILURE.
I agree. It's been a snooze-fest.
I wouldn't call it "the biggest failure in ESPN history", because this is the network that carried Sunday Night Football.
And a Season on the Brink.....

Um... Sunday Night Football's ratings are very good. I have no idea where you're coming from with this one.

I didn't mean financial failure. I'm sure people are watching 50 States in 50 Days on SportsCenter too.
don't forget the Pete Rose movie
How many here actually watched "Tilt?"

I did. It sucked ass, but it was addictive.
And the chick that played Michael Madsen's daughter was all kinds of hot.
Hiring Woody Paige & Skip Bayless were horrible moves...
I wish they had that Nick Bakay gambling segment on again every Monday with his wife. Remember that? I loved that weekly piece. Maybe because he helped me laugh off my losses...
Honestly, does anyone care about watching a show dedicated to their state? It was a boring idea from the get go. Yay Pennsylvania! Yay Massachusetts! Yay Virginia! Who farging cares?
They should have scrapped 50 States and showed some lacrosse for once.
The Bobby Knight movie is probably thier biggest failure to date. I didn't see the Pete Rose movie but it looked bad. Really bad.

Twice. And I Tivo poker games on TV. I love poker. That show sucked.....
The worst state I saw was Maine. MAINE. They talked about some fat shtein kid eating a blueberry pie in some dumb shtein contest for 15 minutes.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Stand By Me?
Nick Bakay was on the other day for the fantasy football mock draft. Nick Lache was also on though, so I don't know what that says about ESPN's mock drafts anymore.
As for Bakay, he sounds like he was the voice for the cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

That's because he was.
Well sorry, I wouldn't know quite a gay fact as the voice of the cat on Sabrina.
But to each his own.

You're the one who said he sounded like the voice of the cat. And the only way for you to know that is if you actually watched the show. Flame on sailor. :)
why is watching Sabrina something to be ashamed of? it's at the top of the list when it comes to television gold.

That's what I thought at first, but nobody got any leeches stuck to their junk, except Michael Irvin, and that was just to score some rock.
