How do I hate thee ESPN?, let us count the ways

[BmillsSkier]

ESPN may explode today from crossing the streams.

After a week or two of non stop hand-wringing, calls for blowing up the franchise, and general diaper-shitting over the Washington Redskins name they have come full circle in their ability to create non-controversy controversy this afternoon by asking if Lee Corso 'crossed the line' when he dressed up as the Seminole in making his prediction in the Clem-FSU game.

So an ESPN host dresses up in a way that ESPN has been saying makes people cry for the two weeks that they've been 'on' the story and thus gives ESPN a topic to beat into the ground all Monday?

Facepalm.

Lead story on espn: "Ravens Rice knocked fiancé out"

With everything else that happened today in Olympics and college hoops you lead with domestic violence involving an ath-el-lete (#stephenasmith) that won't play a meaningful game for seven months?

[Bobby Finstock]

Joey Brackets, Dickie V, Jay Bilass, bubble watch, first 4 in, last 4 out, next 4 in, next 4 out...FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU

That's at least sports related. It may not seem like it, but that in itself is a big step forward.

Say what you want, but the 30 for 30 franchise totally validates ESPN in my mind, it's just amazingly good. This episode about the birth of the Big East and the birth of ESPN is radical. You should watch it.

Any way you look at it, Patrick, Mullin, Easy Ed and the Pearl were fucking awesome. Such an incredible era.

Pinckney is a cool mofo to this day. Hated that dude but I love him.

I agree on 30 for 30... But overall, EFBN is like MTV. They used to be good at covering sports, but now people only watch for the shows. Besides the occasional 30 for 30, I haven't watched in years. Thanks MLB Network!

Agreed. And as much as I don't watch CBB, they at least give credit and airtime to teams that are worth a shit and it's not all Duke, UNC and Syracuse. [Vomit]
Proper CBB coverage is so nice to watch.

I'm watching the Cardinals and Red Sox spring training game right now, and they have their "fantasy picks" running along the bottom line. They listed Ryan Howard as both overvalued and undervalued. Way to be on top of things, guys.

That's the quantum valuation. Get with the times.

I'm a pretty big fan of cbs sports radio which just showed up here in Anchorage.

The best part was when they had several hours of commercial free play by play coverage of the last day of the world championship sleddog race.

First off, TGR, your search function FUCKING BLOWS. page 5 of the results when I typed in the exact title of this thread.

Back on topic, I popped into the clubhouse bar today to see what happened with the Open and what do I get with my 10 minutes of espn? Non-stop coverage of fucking Tiger Woods.

Tiger is in 4th TO LAST PLACE.

I don't care if the reanimated corpse of Bobby Jones is out there. If he's in 4th to last he doesn't merit more than a bit of script on the bottom crawl. What a bunch of jock sniffers.

Had you waited another couple minutes, you could have seen them spend 10 min on Lebron's dilemma of what number he is going to wear.

I'm really looking forward to them hiring Nancy Grace to report on such pressing issues.

Who could swallow who whole, python style - Olbermann vs. Grace?

[spook]

they're both obnoxious morons but i thought for sure bayless would be the first to say something so stupid he'd have to go. repeatedly lying about things should have been enough. instead they waited for the black man to say something so stupid he'd have to go.

[Bobby Finstock]

Nah. It's just Screamin A bein Screamin A.

I feel your pain, but the numbers are dramatic when comparing Tiger healthy to no Tiger, or even Tiger 4th to last to no Tiger. Dude sucks in the viewers like a giant sponge. A lot of people in the media are praying for his comeback and the chase to beat Jack's numbers, but that doesn't look very good right now.

I mean, Bubba Watson? Really? Even Mcllroy. Boring.

[BmillsSkier]

Stephen A is fired?

By the way, LeeeBron announced he's going back to 23 yesterday. ESPN was all over that shit. Sleep easy my friends.

[BmillsSkier]

Holy crap, I just read the whole S.A.Smith fiasco. What a fucking moron.

http://www.boston.com/entertainment/...hNK/story.html

1) I don't think Stephen understands that no matter what you say, when you follow it up with "but" you negate everything you said prior to that.

2) TMZSPN will never fire this guy - the race card would be thrown faster than you can say Booyah.

3) Facepalm.

[BmillsSkier]

Seems appropriate. Let's suspend a guy who tells a story about slapping his girlfriend in college. Even though they've been married for 20 years.

Way to make up for Stephen A TMZSPN.

Oh man, this is perfect TMZspn fodder. In the midst of nonsense at USC a player quits and calls the head coach a racist and says he was treated "like a slave" on Twatter and Faceplace... with no specifics Then deletes it. Then ESPN runs with the story as gospel.

Are they trying to capitalize on the racial unrest after Ferguson? Probably, or TMZspn is still just a joke... now a race-baiting joke. Never mind all the Michael Sam nonsense they're trying to gin up.

Better to be accused of being a necrophiliac these days.

Finally, some real insight on ESPN

I think this concussion thing is worse than we thought.

[smartyiak]

Just bumping this b/c I flipped on to watch Sportscenter to get some scores and stuff...

I got 1/2hr with Flo Rida .

I don't recall any scores or who won...all I know is: I lost.
