The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to...
ESPN, for the 10th year running.
They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating).
No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote.
Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew?

You continue to make confusing and outlandish statements. Never in the history of the free swimming universe have we been able to watch so many sport simultaneously. I know this because last night I counted one blizillgillion sports shows on TV. Have you ever heard of Fox Sports Net? I think they may have carried a minor league cow tippin' contest the other night. Big Tex the Louisiana Tipper won, by the way.
The market for sports is the most competitive in all of TV, with every sport trying to gain attention amid the other 250 stations that carry just about everything else. I was recently able to watch the SEC swimming championships on one of the Fox Net channels.
If there is a sporting event you want to watch in America, between the satellite dish and the internet, you can almost bank on it being available these days.
It a thing called supply and demand, a beautiful thing and probably something not frequently experienced in Romania, especially when the Ruskies called the shots.
