College Football Live (30 mins, weekday afternoons, usually around 6:00 ET)
This show is dedicated to the happenings of college football. Rece Davis is the primary host, but it also features ESPN college football analysts Kirk Herbstreit (who most women like to look at), Lee Corso (funny older guy), Lou Holtz, Mark May, Bob Griese and others. College Football Live aims to be the most fan-interactive show on ESPN, which is why they often feature email questions and video segments sent in by college football fans.

NFL Live (30 mins, weekdays at 4:00 pm ET and other times randomly it seems)
This show analyzes everything that is happening in the NFL: the hot players and teams, injuries, standings, and everything else you might be curious about. It’s a nice quick update to make sure you aren’t missing anything in the NFL.

SportsCenter (1 hour, it's on pretty much all the time it seems, the listed times are: 6:00 pm, 11:00 pm, 1:00 am, 6:00 am, and 9:00 am ET)
This is the show that ESPN is known for. This show is essential for sports fans. It's like the evening news except about sports of all times. It’s a clever show that looks awesome in HD, gets their facts right, breaks news before anyone else, and throws some humor in every now and then. SportsCenter is entertaining and informing. Most sports fans agree this one is a must-watch! (It's easy to watch too since it's practically always on...)

Outside the Lines (30 mins, weekdays at 3:00 pm ET and Sundays at 9:30 am ET)
This is an interesting show (Emmy-winning too) that looks at sports related issues that go on off the field. They have covered some controversial and inspiring stories throughout the years. It's often a chance to get to know some of the storylines of the players and the sports that go beyond the game play.

Baseball Tonight (30 mins, only airs during baseball season at 9:00 pm ET)
This is a highlight show devoted to Major League Baseball. They go through the games of the day, showing the big plays, standings, and scores. (Baseball Tonight has won an Emmy too.) It’s a must-watch for baseball fans, but it dies quickly during football season. Sorry, America's pastime.

College Game Day (2 hours, Saturday mornings at 10:00 am ET during football season)
This show may be one of the only things that your husband/boyfriend (or maybe even you) wake up for early on Saturday mornings. It's a great way to jump start a day of watching college football. This show is broadcast live at the home field location of one of the big games of the day. (The University of Florida and Ohio State have hosted College Game Day the most.) The hosts (Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, and Kirk Herbstreit) are usually set up in front of a crowd of screaming college fans holding signs and doing whatever it takes to get some camera attention. The hosts discuss the upcoming games of the day and pick who they think will win. This show really gets you pumped up for the games of the day! (There is also a College Game Day basketball edition during the basketball season.)
