By Keith Terceira - I want to start by thanking all those who emailed me regarding the ESPN article I wrote yesterday. Many questioned what could be done to correct the issues and asked if I had any suggestions . Boycotting ESPN as one message suggested is not possible as it may totally discourage their participation in the sport. Writing them your dissatisfaction with Loughrey and/or the quality of the shows again may or may not help. I would say it is worth a try. [details]

You would think that with the network being the premier sports authority that they would have stepped up by now. there are several angles they can take and capitalize off of. but the question is do they really care. -
I am not really sure I agree with all your ten point system but it is a great launching point for discussion.
Things I really like:
1. Website voting for matchups (This is a hot idea!)
2. Not sure you meant this but make the website more interactive and forum based to allow buildup of excitement.
3. Reduce venues and become more directly involved.
4. Get rid of JL - (Definately!!!!)
The one thing I hated:
1. Make 8 divisions and ESPN titles.
NO! NO! NO! Just becuase everyone is offering titles does not mean ESPN should make things worse. Offer great matchups, screw hallow titles. The matchups will naturally impact the Ring rankings. Screw the alphabet soup groups.
Thanks for the article. Nicely done.Comment
