I'm disappointed in you ESPN
For some reason during Sports Center ESPN decided it was important to inform the sports enthusiasts that watch ESPN the Mike "the Situation" from Jersey Shore was voted off of Dancing with the Stars. This guy is not an athlete (current or former) and Dancing with the Stars in not an athletic competition so please don't waste my time with this information on my sports channel. I understand these two shows own a parent company but that doesn't mean I should have to be subject to overt cross promotion. That is what commercials are for. If I wanted to know what was happening on Dancing with the Stars I would watch Dancing with the Stars. I don't tune into Sports Center to find out the latest news on Desperate Housewives because the two have nothing to do with each other. At this pace ESPN will start showing a sports based sitcom in the next five years and do for sports programming what MTV has done for music programming. "My Sweet $16,000,000 Contract" anyone?
