re: How ESPN manufactures stories step by step

quote:

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.
