My husband has 2 TVs in the same room and he almost always watches 2 different things at the same time - two sporting events, or a sporting event and a movie. Drives me crazy.

but don't we get the final on Saturday? We are a day and some hours different. What I am watching is dated for me but dated for them the next day? I don't know if that makes sense or not.

If the final is on Sunday in Australia we will see it in the US on Saturday? Right? This whole mess confuses me.

Edit I re-read your post. I agree they are stupid.

dark hours of Sunday morning.

I've been getting up to watch it for years.

Federer. I guess I would rather do that than find out what happened before I could watch it when ESPN would show it.

However, for those that don't mind waiting for the replay, why not air the replay at a time that doesn't conflict w/ the SB?

I don't think they really care much about it, especially now since none of the contenders from the US outside of Serena is likely to win much. Get a couple from each sex, women will not interest them alone, and they might do better.

are dying Sports. And another example is Bowling,when was the last time you saw the National Bowling Championships on a major TV channel.

Record the 3:30 broadcast and watch it when you want later in the day.

We don't have cable or DVR. Not sure about this, but I'm willing to bet that the streaming function on the ESPN website won't allow me to record.

But it's not really about me. I WILL be awake to watch it.

I just question the logic behind making this event compete with the Super Bowl for viewership.

That is one of the solutions. I will definitely be recording it. I’ve done that for the whole tourney because I can’t stay up all night and watch.

Also, you can download the ESPN app and watch it streaming OnDemand.

If you have a smart TV you can add the app or just cast it from your phone/iPad.

The replays are normally up as soon as the match ends.

And watch it later when I can fit it in.

don't watch the super bowl? I stopped watching nfl when it was clear the owners weren't going to stick up for the players when dumbass donnie started calling them sons of bitches for kneeling for the anthem. Plus, the damn game is too slow. The clock stops entirely too much. No reason for a game to last 3 1/2 hours.

Last game until August... yeah, I'm watching.

And hoping for some clever commercials too

In order to watch it on their website you have to sign up and pay a monthly subscription fee.

SUCKS!

up for a month is only $10. Then then just cancel it.

Also, I think the show courts at the slams you can watch for free on ESPN3. Only lesser courts you have to pay for to be able to see on ESPN3. At least that is how it’s been all along since they made it a paid service for all the outer courts. It used to all be free.
