No worries. Yeah most days it's fun, but that's more because of the people I work with than the place I work at. It is cool to be there and enjoy some of the more unusual perks (like tossing the football with Drew Brees), but at the end of the day it's a job like any other and like any other job it can get frustrating.

Lotus-I was very involved in the World Cup...but there was no fix

As for SportsCenter, on a day to day basis my work has almost nothing to do with SC or the NFL. (The Redskins/NFL info I sometimes provide here often comes from previous connections from my days covering the Skins, though I talk to the NFL guys at ESPN all the time, more so behind the scenes guys) My long-term projects are heavily revolved around it though.

As for the preseason, tough break for Donnie Avery (no pun intended). And I was thinking Packers vs. Pats earlier this week as my Super Bowl prediction, feeling a bit more comfortable about it after last night.

Smoot, I always wondered what you did up there. That sounds like a very fun and demanding job full of a good bit of stress to perform.

Now I know why you may get a little defensive when folks bash ESPN's programming! I can see why it may be a little personal to you.

P.S. I was holding out hope that you were secretly Scott Van Pelt. lol... by far one of my favorite on air personalitys at the Mothership.

I only get defensive when people make assumptions, but I realize that not everyone has access to the same info I do so my point of view is different on certain things. I think I have seen SVP maybe two times in my four years here

I truly enjoy Sportscenter most of the year, except those summer months when the only thing to cover is baseball highlights, as a life long o's fan, i have truly lost most of the interest I had in baseball. I'll watch a playoff game or 2, followed the 'redsox and phillies runs to a championship a couple of years back.

BTW I know I have made some generalized espn bashing comments at times.

Bradford sure looked good last night, didn't see that one coming considering the rough start he had to the preseason.

Yeah, it was a Colt Brennan-rookie kind of performance.

I was impressed but I will not pass judgement until I see teams gameplanning for him.

The Packers are going to be a tough team for any to beat. They must have the deepest WR core in the game as well as so many good skill players. I would not be surprised if they sweep the Vikings this year ruining Farves come back.

Ok guys, I can't find a thread for this, but does anyone outside of the DC area know if there is a Live stream of the Skins/Jets game online tonight? I live in KY and found one last week for the Ravens game. Thanks and sorry for putting this in the wrong thread.

I actually watched the game on this link last week, so it may work again. It was a little fuzzy, but it was better than waiting for the NFL Network replay. Thanks NYCskinfan.

No prob scowan just passing the site along no one should ever be deprived from watching the SKINS play.
