Oh, and one more.... ESPN now has Marcellus Wiley and Jalen Rose analyzing baseball (on"Numbers Never Lie", it came on before I could change the channel). They've hit rock bottom.
Yah, but it's baseball. Who watches shows analyzing baseball? :fmicon:Quote:

What is up with these promo intereviews on the SC (Liam Neeson, Buckly LeGrange, etc)??
Mel Kiper said WVU will face a good TX defense. They've given up like 67 points in their last two games.
Saw that and I was blown away. All I was there for was to see if some dude was starting in last night's football game that cbssports couldn't tell me.Quote:

And the Yankees rule.
Espn fantasy football projections/rankings are a joke and almost never aligned with other sites projections

I've noticed. Hell even the crappy "guru" at cbssports.com is 10x more accurate.Quote:

Meh. In the next year or two Cabrera will test positive for PEDs. Then he'll get on the front page.Quote:

What a fucking mistake. I got not one but THREE Yankees stories, two on A-Rod and where he should bat and one on how the Yanks are still favored over the Os.
Then I got the obligatory 25 minutes of NFL coverage (not including commercials) and even an 8 minute feel-good story about the unborn baby troubles a TE from Carolina is having. (vibes buddy)
Then I got a really, really interesting 5 minute piece on how one can make the argument that LeeeBron will be better than Jordan - and the accompanying circle jerk debate that ensued.
Don't forget the super interesting piece on the new Brooklyn Nets arena...
Followed by another circle-jerk about Sanchez v. Tebow.
It wasn't until a little over an hour from when I sat down for lunch did I hear mention one about the game that is actually happening today.
What a fucking joke this network is. They're not even trying to hide that they don't care about sports unless it falls under the 'entertainment news' umbrella and if they do want to talk sports it had better be about the Yanks, Nets, or Jets. :rolleyes2:
What's shitt is NBC's "sports" network is little better and I sure doubt that when Fox is done turning Speed into Fox Sports One that'll be any better either. Who watches the bullshit drivel? 5 hours of gameday? Who turns in?Quote:

I haven't really had a chance to check out NBCSports aside from during the Olympics, and I tried to get the bartender at the restaurant I was at to turn it to MLB network but they didn't get it.
Didn't know Fox was turning speed into a different network. Interesting.
I can't watch 8 hours of (insert talking head here) spewing shit pregame or post game. I like a good preview, tell me how the weather is, what the lineups are, who to watch for a big game etc. and at the end, give me a good recap of the game. This used to be the format, now it's fucking Bravo/E!TV for steroid users.
I miss Erin Andrews. She's annoying on Fox, the way she orders Joey Harrington and Eddie George around.
Great fucking question. I get it that the US if NFL-crazy, but jeebus, people - do we/they need that much oversaturation of all things NFL. Good God, if that's the only going for them in their lives that they need 5 hours of pre-game; they need to seriously re-evaluate their life. I can't stand any of Chris Berman, let alone five hours of his ill-timed breathing and shitty delivery.Quote:

Well it's been good lately if you're a Cornell basketball fan. Which I'm not, but hey.Quote:

The fall continues.
The whole RG III/rob parker/first take/stephan a./niggaplease/chocolate city/screaming and yelling/yankmee sycophants/ o victor tell us what lil' jack pinto's parents said/mel kiper and his Kim Jong Illin' like a villian hair/and that douchebag "haven't even put it on twitter yet idiota...there's "the shit" and then "shit." ESPN is just Crap
Funny thing is, the network blows but the commercials are pretty good sometimes:
google translate? Michael Jordan...Oh :(
While ESPN sucks, I do love their commericals. My newest favorite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ybZiaSp-RzM
The chef has always been great!
That has to be one of the best "This is Sportscenter" commercials that they have made. Gets me every time.
In a positive move for the network, I couldn't be more excited Rachel Nichols is moving on...I wanted to cunt punch her during every single one of her segments.
Still drives me nuts that their hockey based commercials are often their best but that's 30 seconds more hockey than you'll see on Sports center.Quote:

Again, they talk about and drive into the ground, topics that move the dial. Jordan still gets ratings.
Joe Lunardi. Nice rug doucehbag.
So when did ESPN become CNN, Fox News, MSNBC?? Turned to catch up on sports the day of the Boston marathon bombing and thought I had the wrong channel judging by the amount of coverage they were giving it.
Look at the plus side, Tom... at least you didn't have to watch Mel Kiper, Stephen A Smith, or Skip Bayless.
Didja catch the "ESPN Update" ticker during the baseball game? Where they helpfully informed us that the Red Sox game was over an hour before the bombing and gave us it's position relative to the bombing site.Quote:

The sane voice in the discussion? Stephen A. Smith ferpetesske.
I'm no Tebow-mania fan but ESPN claiming no role in the circus is hilarious.
chris broussard's comments on that one dude in the nba who likes dudes. smh.
The only thing worse would be them blaming Lebron for the media circus shit show surrounding his decision.Quote:
