Buddy forwarded this ESPN story to me today.
It has all the hallmarks of what ESPN stands for these days: LeBron, a twitter argument, a shoe designer, and non-apology apologies. It's fucking TMZ.

ESPN is only good for the comments people post.
ESPN Intern: Junior Seau is dead sir. Should we do breaking news right now?
ESPN programmer: Did he have anything to do with Tim Tebow, like give him advice or shake his hand?
ESPN Intern: I'm not sure sir.
ESPN programmer: Well find that out and get back to me. In the meantime run the story about how Jeremy Lin flexed his knee 4 times today.
Side note, way to be classy with this blurb at the very end of the Seau article:
"Seau is the eighth member of the 1994 Chargers, who reached the Super Bowl and lost to to the San Francisco 49ers, to die at a young age. He was predeceased by Chris Mims, David Griggs, Rodney Culver, Lewis Bush, Curtis Whitley, Shawn Lee and Doug Miller."
Rick Reilly has ruined every PGA Tour Major for me. RUINED. That guy sucks. I do not care how LeBron and Tiger are similar in their careers. Give me a break. Go back to writing crappy magazine articles.

I'm pretty sure that the icing on the cake from ESPN was the promise of screenplays and TV presence for the fellow, but that isn't working out too well. Hope he saved his money, because he may be out of work soon, and certainly can't go back to SI.
He's from Boulder what the fuck do you expect.
Cuban tees off on Bayless
Mel Kiper Jr. He has the same hairstylist as Kim Jong il.
how does bayless have that job? or any job? the bit about him lying about leading his team to the state championship or whatever barely caused a ruffle. he's pure torture to listen to.Quote:

I've never heard S A Smith quiet for that long in his life. I grew up in Dallas where he got his start and pretty much everyone down there hates him. He called himself the Howard Cossell of his generation LOL
Yeah I like Cowherd on the radio too. Hes sorta like Jim Rome, both professional radio guys who usually has a good take on things if you can tolerate the attitude.Quote:

I guess you could say that about a lot of people.Quote:

ESPN is trying to ruin watching Tennis Majors for us aren't they?
The NFL network tonight [that happens to be named ESPN] choked down a 45 second piece on Andy Roddick announcing his retirement.
They did get one thing right though:
They named Brooklyn Decker as his final, grand achievement.
their college football team sucks

I get angry every time I watch.
Yes ESPN sucks, but this made me LOL a little bit.
They spent a good amount of time talking about this during sportscenter today too.Quote:

Startling.
Sportscenter spent more time covering the Giants-Bucs last minute "controversy" than they did covering any one of the actual games. What a fucking joke.
Definitely not a fan of his.Quote:

Yeah, we get it, they're replacement refs and they're getting adjusted. If they took too long to make a call Chucky bitched, too little deliberation Chucky bitched, Atlanta scored Chucky bitched...
The NFL draft isn't for another 7+ months.

On the bright side they're using Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge" in a promo for some shit or other. Well, about a bar of it.
Here's the rest:
