Olympic soccer coverage was/is atrocious anyway. The commercial breaks make it marginally unwatchable.

Indoor volleyball. But I'm biased. I played for about 1/2 my life.
All of the other things are interesting to watch during the Olympics. But I don't know if I'd watch more if it was on more. Only so many hours in the day, you know?
Plus I think that's what makes watching things like badminton, table tennis, etc so interesting to watch during the Olympics. Because you only get to see it every 4 years, it holds your attention a little more when it's on.
On the handball debate - I went to the men's medal matches in 1996. First time I'd ever seen the sport. After the games, it was pretty popular in some local rec leagues. It's also one of those things that's interesting...but not enough to watch it on a regular basis.
One one hand, that could be good, in that it would mean live EPL matches in HD on ABC on the weekends. On the other, hand, it could mean a significant decrease in the number of EPL matches available on TV. I hope it means greater access to soccer and more exposure for the MLS. Maybe they could even work a weekly highlights program into their coverage.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
I haven't read anything about it recently, but I remember reading a while back that ESPN was going to convert ESPN Classic into ESPN3 or ESPN World and would make EPL games the centerpiece of the "new" network.
I tend to think EPL on ESPN is going to be a reality. Their coverage of the Euro Cup this summer looks and smells an awful lot like a dry-run for future soccer coverage. They devoted a LOT of resources to promoting it, including nightly recap shows and prominent slotting on SportsCenter during the tournament.
The idea certainly doesn't seem as far fetched as it once did.

"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
My junior high phys. ed. students have been playing team handball in my class for years, and they love it!
More women's gymnastics and swimming. I don't think they covered these sports enough.
