It's quite impressive.

That was a colossal waste of an article. One guy gave an opinion, and the network over two days blew it up into some kind of faux "big story". There was nothing controversal there. It was simply an instance of a 24 hour sports network giving themselves something to talk about when there is absolutely nothing of interest going on in the sports world. There's alot of things to shite on ESPN about, but that was a waste of time

If people have quit watching ESPN, then why do they seem to be more popular than ever?

When it was Jaworski's turn, he issued a stern proclamation. "Call me crazy, but I'm really excited for Tyler Palko tonight," he said, and a roomful of skeptical sports producers erupted in laughter. Jaworski had given himself the thankless task of building up the Chiefs, praising them as much as he could without putting his own credibility at risk. Perhaps viewers would buy into the idea, however far-fetched, that Palko would emerge as the night's underdog hero. Later that day, as Jaworski was making a cup of coffee in the ESPN bus, he tried the line again. "Call me crazy, but I'm excited about Tyler Palko," he said. He exhaled. "I've got to sell this," he said to himself.
Sounds just like the blueprint and garbage the announcers said during the Okie State - Oklahoma game in selling the voters on Alabama for the title game - and a rematch with LSU...all for ESPN and the mothership to make more money.
BCS has been nothing more than a money-making sham since its inception.

I'm at the point where I'd bet money Deadspin works for ESPN in some capacity. All of their "takedowns" just hype ESPN even more. All with helpful links!
Who writes about Tebow more? ESPN? Or those that hate ESPN's coverage?

That video ended PERFECTLY!

Yeah ESPN doesn't have time to report on research about concussions because of stories like this
Posted on 8/23/13 at 8:15 pm to Tilco Baller
I love Deadspin.
Posted on 8/23/13 at 8:45 pm to Tilco Baller
This is fricking awesome I hate that network

I said this on a different thread, and I'll say it here.
ESPN is a symptom of a greater problem that is today's corporate media.

I thought this was common knowledge? This practice happens all the time in the regular media. The editorial talking heads actually do it to eachother. Limbaugh will comment on somebody else commenting on what he originally commented on.
Posted on 8/24/13 at 12:06 pm to Tilco Baller
i am shocked people still watch espn outside of the games.

One thing ESPN does is report something very minor, and then try to blow it up into a big story.
For example... Manziel got kicked out of a frat party. Okay? First of all, this shouldn't even be news.
Secondly, they took that and kept talking about it and talking about it and talking about it, making it seem like this is the big story right now that everybody is talking about... when in actuality ESPN was making a big deal out of nothing.
They will take one guy and try to make a bunch of stories about them. They will blow up non-stories about them to make it seem like this person is doing a whole bunch of stuff right in a row. Then they will die it down once they find a new athlete to cover TMZ-style.
It is ridiculous how they operate.
