ESPN, Why Don't You Make Your Ticker A Little Bit Bigger?

I was watching football all day today, as all good Americans do. After all, it is Sunday. And after the games, I turned to ESPN to watch all the highlights. I could have watched NBC's pregame show for Sunday Night Football, but just the thought of listening to Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth made me die a little, so I decided to watch Chris Berman and laugh at least a little bit (Bob and Chris are about as funny as nothing, even though they think they are.).

When I turn on ESPN though, I couldn't really watch the highlights because the actual video on the screen was very small. Half of the screen was taken over by stats listings from every game. Half the screen. In addition to that, the normal stats and scores ticker was scrolling on the bottom. I thought I got confused and dizzy watching CNBC and the stock reports at the bottom, but this, holy crap.

I guess I have to watch NBC to get the highlights which I could actually see. I had my glasses on when I was watching ESPN and I still struggled to see the highlights. I think ESPN has channel where I can not actually watch TV (ESPN News). Oh yeah, and there's the Internet. People can look up stats on the Internet.

Oh yeah, New York Jets, please stop wearing those hideous uniforms. What the hell? I thought the Jets' color was green, not obnoxious.
