There was nothing special or proprietary about the way ESPN did things other than they were the first to capitalize on sports broadcasting. Now given today's landscape, Fox/NBC/NFLN/MLBN/NBAN/NHLN/the conference networks have all opened up ways  to do what made ESPN important to viewers. On top of this you have deadspin/TMZ/bleacher report/twitter all out there as outlets able to break sports tabloid news. Finally the lone bargaining chip they had left which made them necessary, live content, has been compromised over the past few years.Their days are numbered, they will be scaling back very soon even more so than they already have.</blockquote>
