I went against my norm and watched the FSN Final score which is in my opinion a rapid fire version of sports center. I did find it refreshing to just be able to get the scores and important highlights of the nights sports action. I also enjoyed the fact that i did not have watch a feature story that had nothing to do with any of the games that night and was just an obvious attempt to fill up time. I think that the ticker that the have across the bottom of the screen a big help to someone just finding the score that they may have missed and the rundown that was on the right part of the screen gives the viewer an idea on when the nhighlight the want to see is coming up.
The only downsides I found to FSN Final Score was that the spent to much time on highlights from the Westminster dog show. Now i understand that some people really care about these kind of things but I don'r believe that the highlights beling on a sports highlight show(even though sportscenter showed the same ones). They also did a very bit on the poor attendance at the Nets-Timberwolves game and played a Price is Right theme as the played the PA announcer asking people to move to the lower level because people didn't show up due to weather. I found it funny that no one showed to an NBA game I expect it at a college game but not the pros especially with what tickets cost.
The FSN Final Score is a great show for people who just want a score and a quick highlight but I don't think I would stop watching sportcenter to watch them on a nightly basis.

Jason, I agree with you completely. When I'm thumbing through the channels and I see the sports ticker on FSN, I don't bother stopping. ESPN has become such a sports emphatic beast that there isn't any point stopping somewhere else for me when it comes to gaining sports information. And then there is always the Internet.
I find FSN isn't all bad. I like watching Sports Center because of the coverage, but I like only watching 30 seconds of highlights. Sometimes the news goes overboard and covers something for twenty minutes. Most of the time I don't care that much about the subject. It's nice to be able to get quick scores and the basic highlights of the game.
