Weepy , Melodramatic, Maudlin Sports Narratives intertwined with the game.

I'm so sick of this EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATIVE media bullshite in the middle of my damn football game.
Somebody has cancer.
Somebody has a learning disability.
Somebody's girlfriend died ?
Some autistic kid gets a game ball ?

I can tell you the EXACT GAME I decided to stop listening to Musberger and ALL this bullshite. It was in 2001 when he spent more time telling me that Oregon's hack qb was a piano virtuoso than describing the game. ESPN is nearly unwatchable at this point. That Grief-Artist Tom Rinaldi has single-handedly driven me away from ESPN Game Day.

I literally TURNED THE CHANNEL to another game every time ESPN/NBC attempted to bludgeon me with the Manti Teo faux-grief-fest. It's almost OBSCENE the way they put these people's tragedies and personal pain in front of me and tell me "this is the really important thing, not the game".

frick these guys. I'm here for THE GAME. Not the weepy fricking Media Narrative. If they care so much donate the freaking ad revenue to the autistic boy or the fake damn parents of the fake dead girl of the fraudulant -media-created football player.
