Over at The AOL Fanhouse, the soccer guys were buzzing about the potential for ESPN to acquire some additional high-profile soccer for 2009. As NASCAR fans continue to growse about the problems with non-televised Cup practice and Nationwide broadcasts, one answer from ESPN's own Soccer columnist was certainly interesting. Here is it below, and here is the full link. About a year and a half ago, ESPN announced that it was shutting down production on original programming for ESPN Classic.

... There is talk of making ESPN Classic into just plain ol’ ESPN3, and the local sports talk radio discussed just what you’d like to see on it.  One interesting idea (more of a dream, really) would be to have an OnDemand channel for any sporting event that’s been put to film.  I got to thinking of just what I’d want to watch on their.  Would I want to relive Championship memories for my favorite teams?  See the best players of another era in their prime?  Catch a historic event, like Jesse Owens at the Olympics?  I put the question to you.  Comment away for ...

... , I engaged in a short debate with Mike Georger about the good versus bad of ESPN getting into the business of showing lots of soccer stateside. Such an argument is precipitated on the rumors that ESPN is shuttering its Classic channel and looking to replace it with, possibly, an ESPN3. This new channel would have soccer, and the EPL, as its cornerstone. While I think that such a move would be positive for American soccer viewers, Mike is vociferously against it.
