ESPN use its outsize influence to prop up a Southeastern Conference that, for the first time in a decade, is arguably in a state of decline.


A state of decline ?

I think it says a lot. The part about the way games are described is spot-on.

Trash article

@slmandel: i don't often criticize other journalists or defend ESPN, but that Rolling Stone article is basically a long, uninformed message board rant

FSN interviewed OBJ and Reuben Randle before the ole piss game and asked them about the transition from sec to NFL.

They both said the sec was basically like the NFL, just a little slower.

I'd go with their assesment. Not some nerd journalist.

Wow...they allowed that to be published? Not even talking about the content, it reads like a 9th grader wrote it.

jesus, I can't believe I find myself on the "SEC SEC" side of things

Rolling Stone is fricking trash...not just this article.

@bnokj I don't know what you're talking about. Wait, according to hundreds of cousin-plunging $EC fans, I don't know what I'm talking about.
