He really is excellent, NBC needs to steal him somehow.

This MAN U-Newcastle game is excellent.

What's happening to Ian next season?

No more Premier League on ESPN.

Listening to Fulham v. Southampton.

Crap, Southampton just won a PK.

That sucks. My new routine starting last year has been to wake up early on Saturday mornings and watch the ESPN2 broadcast with my daughter.

NBC has the US broadcast rights for the Premier League beginning next season. Darke will be under contract with ESPN through World Cup 2014 I believe. So unless something unusual happens, he won't be broadcasting PL matches for the next couple years.

Should see some on NBC, and definitely on NBC Sports.

You still might be fine because I believe NBC has plans to broadcast matches on regular old NBC as well as NBC Sports Network. If they were smart, they'd keep the live Saturday morning thing going. Not to mention I believe NBCSN is much easier to see on most cable/dish providers than FSC or FS+.

Honestly, I don't have a horse in this fight but this game has been great from beginning to end.

Oh man. I tell you what, I can watch Chicharito not score all day

I know I should hate him as a red, white, and blue-blooded American, but I actually like the kid. Thankfully, there are plenty of other guys to not like from El Tri. And it looks like you just jinxed it.
