So now ESPN.com is evaluating the quality of the videos purchased by LSU. Wow. They need to report the news, not make the news.

Espn is not a reporting organization. They are entertainment.

Meh, they're certainly a shell of what they once were but they like to act like both when it makes them money and news.

Good for Herb.

tell 'em herbie. why don't they hire some recruiting experts to appraise the value of the material lsu recieved so they can argue that we overpaid for it, that's what they are insinuating. they need to take it all the way. well, this dvd is only worth $53.75, but this one is worth $357.98. but when you add them up all together, it only comes up to $3785.23, so it's obvious that lyles had to have done something crooked for lsu beause we know they wouldn't have paid $6,000.00 for something only worth $3785.23. But we (espn) did have to pay our expert appraisers $7520.14 for their appraissals... what a bunch of shite.

He's got a great point. What does the quality have to do with anything? Lyles was complaining about all the hoops our compliance office put him through, and now ESPN reports on the tape "Quality". Does ESPN just hate LSU?

They suspended one of their best reporters for writing a book with Leach. Simply because the book was critical of espn and some of their employees. That's not something the news does.

It's just funny that ESPN is complicit in helping make recruiting the big business that it is today. They market and sell these kids every single day.

How come every time I hear Herb Vincent's name I think of an imaginary LSU hybrid combination of Herb Tyler and Justin Vincent??
