I added the weasel template to this article because it appears that the user Imperialism addition of the "Backlash" section on 20:59 December 28, 2005 was just nothing but weasel words.
It is full of "Some will say..." and "They feel..."
Who are "They?" Who are the "Some who say?"
Unless I'm way out of line, I feel that the "Backlash" section should be deleted unless sources, or quotes, can be cited from television or sports experts.
As this is my first major contribution, I'm erroring on the side of caution and just adding the template. Ciderbarrel 00:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- That Backlash section is a joke. I'm so tired of unsourced "Controversy" sections that collect every criticism made on a talk-radio call-in show and act as though they're notable. In my opinion, even finding a couple of editorials stating these opinions wouldn't help. Someone would have to prove that a substantial number of viewers feel strongly enough about this that it's affected the show's ratings. The only example I can think of (and frankly I'm embarrassed I thought of it) is when Keri Russell's haircut was blamed for the ratings decline of her show, Felicity.
- It's always good to err on the side of caution when you're starting out, but I think in this case your instincts were right. Keep up the good fight, Ciderbarrell. --djrobgordon 19:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anchors
Can we do a table for the anchors section, in the years they anchored sportscenter.
[edit] Syndicated show
Since when has it been?
[edit] Foreign Editions
According to the print version of USATODAY on April 7, 2006, ESPN has 10 other local editions of SportCenter around the world. Should this be mentioned; and also, are they present in other language's wikipedia? Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 14:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
ESPN Pacific Rim (Australia/New Zealand) airs the American version of SportCenter Live most days with exception of live sport, mainly soccer, they air ESPN 6pm ET show live and also airs there 2am ET live for half the year when daylight savings is in affect in australia and on a 2 hours delay for the other half.
There is also gossip going around that ESPN in Australia will start up there own version of the show
[edit] Official name
The official name of SportsCenter is, well.. "SportsCenter". ESPN's web site doesn't say anything about "Sportscenter presented by Subaru", and there are no Google hits for that phrase. I think someone is just confused by the sponsor announcements during the show. Rhobite 22:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Format
I added a section on SportsCenter format. Its long overdue to be completed. I just started with the beginning and end of the broadcasts. I'd be glad to do the whole section, but I'd rather have someone else do it or at least take over somewhat. Just add/edit as you see fit.
[edit] Where's the Logo?
The SportsCenter logo used to be in the infobox. However, I checked back in today and noticed that it had disappeared. If anyone has the copy of the logo on their hard drives, please upload it again.--Desmond Hobson 17:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for the logo, whoever you are!--Desmond Hobson 22:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ESPN web site
I plan to add a link to the official website of ESPN so that it is no longer an article with an unsourced statement. However, I would like to ask you to find a more specific home page within ESPN for a better source.--Desmond Hobson 16:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Studios
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to add a section about all of the different studios that SportsCenter has been in over the years. I know about four of them, but I don't have pictures or know the exact years they were used.--Choptalk4165 17:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The tag remains
It looks like the "unsourced" tag has been added back to the page despite all the changes we have made (removal of some sections, addition to homepage link, etc.) I would like to know the specific reasons for this, and I would like to ask the original author for sources. After all, someone is taking the lack of sources very seriously.--Desmond Hobson 17:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sportscenter International?
Why is there no entry on sportscenter international? It was an award winning show and perhaps the best sports news show I ever watched. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.231.232.119 (talk • contribs).
- Yeah, and the version at ESPN Star Sports. This article should be moved to [[SportsCenter (U.S. TV program).--Howard the Duck 18:52, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

- 11th International version of SportsCenter
- to air in Australia and New Zealand
- January 16 marks the launch in Australia and New Zealand of ESPN’s marquee sports news and information program, SportsCenter, making it the 11th international version of ESPN’s flagship news show. The program will have up to two live editions airing daily, Tuesday through Saturday, starting at 7:00am local time. Innovative and entertaining, SportsCenter covers major sporting events and stories of special interest to sports fans in Australia and New Zealand, as well as a broad range of international sports that appeal to local viewers.
- As with ESPN’s original studio show launched in 1979, this newest version of SportsCenter promises in-depth reporting and analysis, vast coverage, and a creative and sophisticated production style that is the mark of SportsCenter wherever it is seen around the globe.
- information should be added when add new international section —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.164.128.49 (talk) 13:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
