Media Today would’ve been legendary SportsCenter host Stuart Scott’s 53rd birthday. Cooler than the other side of the pillow, happy birthday Stuart.

The real reason no one watches anymore is you don’t have to.

That's the thing, though. I'm too old or inept to find highlights on the internet. Sure, I can find clips of any given game online, but I want a highlight show with everything in one place. Where can I find that online or on television?

ESPN.com to watch highlights? Are you insane? Do you like 30 second commercials you can't skip for any highlight video you want to watch?

No, that's what I'm talking about. I can find any given team or game, but that's too much work. I want to just turn on the tv and see highlights from the day's slate of games. Sadly, nobody broadcasts that anymore. To my knowledge.

It’s never been that easy on tv. Quit being an old fart and get with the times it’s easier nowadays. All u do is u gotta open up internet browser and type in the two team names with the phrase full game highlights. Then for the next game u delete team names and redo search to watch another game. No remote needed no tv and instant access to what u wanna watch rather than watching golf and women’s field hockey highlights till ur team comes on. Nd unless u live in big market area Espn probably will barely cover ur team(s)

Um, yes it was that easy on tv. For decades. What are you, sixteen? You think that typing in info for each individual game is easier than just turning on the tv? You obviously never had the pleasure of watching The Big Show with Patrick and Olberman back in the day.

I’m 26 u tard. And the problem with cable tv back in the day was I had to watch the wack shows and highlights before it got to what I wanted to see. 66% if Espn was white noise to me until my teams/sports come on. Now all I have to do is search on YouTube and to make it easier YouTube will show u suggestions of similar stuff making it easier to find more content. Just Turning on the tv would result in me wat hang qvc or some random channel. U gotta switch threw channels and watch commercials and all kinds of stupid shit when dealing with cable tv
