then you'd get like a half hour pregame then like bulls vs knicks, then like heat vs pacers and then like lakers vs blazers

Then after the games around 6 you go outside
Come back for dinner and watch world most amazing videos
Then dateline nbc or x files or who wants to be a millionaire
Then midnight showtime for soft porn
Then sleep around 12

Inside Stuff was the first sports talk show that most kids watched back then. Crazy that ESPN never tried to replicate that. Has ESPN ever even have kids programming?I remember you'd wake up a saturday watch your one saturday morning then you'd get NBA Action then NBa Inside stuff then you'd get like a half hour pregame then like bulls vs knicks, then like heat vs pacers and then like lakers vs blazers

...on the otherside of the pond
Show went to complete shyt the day he died
Yet the ratings dropped and they didnt feel it was worth it to keep it. And now they want that old thing back after 20 yrs of ESPN doing such a piss poor job?
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I know we can manufacture a million other reasons but its all about nostalgia. You were a kid, there was nothing to do on the internet but learn
and it wasnt easily accessed 24/7, you couldnt just stream what you wanted. You got hero worship in a time when that wasn't corny. Let ESPN had tried that melodramatic ass shyt 
. nikkas would been 
at that shyt...accusing them of dikkriding and trying to hard and of course not being original. We not going back brehs. We cant recreate what used to be. It used to be exciting to see a chick in a low cut top or some daisy dukes (I waaaant you to look at that girl) but now you can see straight p*ssy with one click. Its a different world and its only gonna keep changing. We can scapegoat whoever we want but thats all it comes down too..."it aint the same as it used to be and I dont like it."

when would they have kids programming? ESPN safely assumes if a kid tunes in at all it's for sports highlights.
Inside Stuff worked because that was a time when networks NEEDED kids programming on the weekends. Now that E/I stuff is still necessary but not as much time needs to be devoted. Before inside stuff they had TNBC (which was INCREDIBLE. You really didn't need to leave your house unless they had golf on and you didn't need to change the channel unless you wanted cartoons or Soul Train).
If you were a kid you were pretty much sitting around watching SportsCenter all day. Baseball Tonight, PTI, Around the Horn, etc.
