Mike & Mike This Morning: YOU SUCK, ESPN

"We're not going to talk much about the re-issuing of the suspensions because it seems like after the Saints won the game this week, America has moved on from this story."
And then the spent the rest of the segment talking about--YOU GUESSED IT--Tim Tebow and the Jets.
Yes, America, this is where modern journalism is as a whole and ESPN in particular. "We're gonna ignore this story and in essence allow Roger Goodell to get away with criminal behavior because New York City isn't interested in this story anymore. We're going to shamelessly shoot for the highest ratings humanly possible instead by talking about the same thing we've talked about for 6 months instead."
The thing that rubs me the wrong way the most about this declaration is that the reason "America" doesn't care about this story is because ESPN refuses to cover it or investigate.
But America really seemed to care when you piled on the team and reported those false wiretapping accusations, right, ESPN. Remember them? The ones you never apologized for or retracted?

I'm not watching, but This doesn't bother me. What is pathetic is how they tried to diminish Brees' record. I swear that network makes an agenda and pushes it.
I literally cannot watch that show any more.
I still check out skip bayless every now and then only to see his reactions to certain games..

Mike and Mike, and ESPN programming in general (except say for Van Pelt) is for idiot fans.

Most, if not all, people outside of NOLA and/or Louisiana are tired of the "bountygate" story. Sorry that offends you.

Isn't Greenburg a Jets fan?

They actually covered the story a lot longer and a lot more favorably than you could expect IMO. Granted that was Greenie siding with the players more than the Saints, but when Vilma was making his press I was surprised they were spending so much time on it and saying Goodell was wrong.

1) You clearly have no clue what criminal behavior is.
2) This story is a non story until it gets back to court, so from a national perspective it isn't newsworthy.

Can't stand either one and do not know how,they stay on the air. One is an NFL scrub that was not evenly close to being a good player, has an overly self worth, loves ND and talks more about his kids than Archie Manning. The other is prototypical jock sniffer who refuses to ask a tough question and placated everything with is brand of self wit.
