I may be a bit off base here but ESPN has to "create" news and entertainment and such to survive. People have many different ways to get scores and such from the games that they are interested in hearing about. The thought is, you can quick go online and find out who won the Detroit-Boston game and be done with it. The added personalities and "expert" analysis is something that is harder to find, therefore more people will stick around and watch shows like sportscenter. I tuned out ESPN long ago but as a business, thats how they look at it. To keep viewer interest, they have to provide something that you may not get everyday.
