I rarely watch ESPN anymore and don't miss it one bit.
I think it's made me a happier person.

A. I'm a sensitive baby who cries every time I watch tv anyway.
B. I'm a conspiracy theorist who actually thinks ESPN hates LSU.
C. I follow sports and unfortunately ESPN has the most coverage of it.
D. I was simply posting something LSU related on an LSU board. (BTW people who bitch about people bitching about ESPN are just as annoying)
E. All of the above

You need to be marginalized in society for starting this thread

PTI is for "downtime". No one listens/watches it for sports info.

You know who's dumber than someone who starts an ESPN thread? Someone who clicks on it and posts in it just to say how stupid it is. (And Elvis sucks too BTW tough guy)

Holy crap dude, you should be "marginalized" for your 57,000 posts on a message board. Way to show what a winner you are.

Well here's an interesting concept that maybe some of you internet geniuses can figure out: if you don't like a topic don't click on it. My title clearly indicated it was about ESPN.

I have as many posts as I do because someone has to confront the fools on this website like you. That's where I step in. I'll take a giant shite on you.

So true.


Aside from watching actual sporting events, I do not watch ESPN.

BULL frickING shite! If they don't know something, they should not just act like they do and spew shite about it. When they affirmatively make a claim about something, it's their frickING JOB to have educated themselves about it and know what the frick they are talking about.

If they don't know what Minnesota's defensive backfield situation is this year, then that is fine, but they shouldn't go shooting off their fricking mouths about the Minnesota defensive backfield situation until they do know.

Obviously this frickhead doesn't know jack about anybody's OOC schedules, including Alabama's. The fact that he decided to pretend that he did leaves him legitimately open to being called the stupid, lazy, dumb fricker that he obviously is.

Goodness Nuts4LSU. That's a lot of hate for a network. LOL. Lay off man.

Look Rantards, I've said it here a million times: It is not ESPN's job to research/promote small market teams like LSU. Get over yourselves. Really.

ESPN pushed Bama last year for the Mulligan of the Century after they lost the Game of the Century. Wasn't ESPN the media outlet that even proclaimed Bama as SEC Champs after they beat Auburn? If it wasn't ESPN, my apologies, but either way, all of the CFB media outlets work together. Hell, CBS was pushing for the mulligan as soon as Alleman's kick went through the uprights.

It is only natural for ESPN to give Bama credit for LSU's season last year. Afterall, Bama did ride LSU's coattails all the way to the Mulligan. LSU doesn't have the historical season it has, Bama literally gets no credit for playing us close in order to justify the Mulligan.

This really doesn't shock me at all that someone at ESPN would say this. It was ESPN that hid the fact that Bama had the weakest resume in BCSNCG history last year until AFTER the Mulligan was finally granted. Wouldn't shock me if ESPN would declare Bama the 2011 SEC Champs last year as well, having them beating UGA in the GA Dome.

I love ESPN threads on the rant. They are always quality.

Something tells me you aren't as impressive as you think you are but I'll play along tough guy. And since I only have 2,000 posts you must be spending a lot of time showing what an arse you are to a lot of other posters too.

If you wait until Wednesday he will say something completely opposite of what he said on Monday. There is nothing consistent about this guy. He slides by on being affable because other than the NBA his sports knowledge is severely lacking.

I don't follow a lot of teams or a lot of different sports. So years ago I use to watch espn so they could educate me. Then I noticed that continually spewed misinformation about the teams that I did follow.

So I thought "hey they can't just be getting it wrong on the stuff I know!!! They must be feeding me bullshite on the teams I don't know as well."

So at that point I realized ESPN sucks and I shouldn't be watching there crap. So I don't watch there crap anymore.

Since then I am:
1. happier
2. better looking
3. richer
4. less grey
5. have more endurance
6. vertical leap has increased
7. people let me out in traffic more frequently
8. catch more fish
9. kill more deer
10. don't need deodorant any more!

So my advice to you is stop watching espn and you too can experience everything I have listed above and more!

If ESPN used actual experts, LSU is the only team they would talk about 24/7.
