Title: Does anyone like ESPN anymore.
Post by: herpes on June 23, 2008, 08:30:43 PM
I noticed more and more that sports fans are disgusted with ESPN.  I remember as a kid I used to be able to watch sportscenter over and over again.  Now I can barely get through one episode.  Baseball tonight used to be my favorite show and now I barely watch it.  How did ESPN become such a joke overnight ?

The answer is no. Unless you're a Yankees, LeBron, Jordan or Celtics fan.

Lakers were favored, yes, because they were the better team in the playoffs going into the finals...But there was WAY more coverage of the Celtics and their team than there was of the Lakers. Any moron could see that. They heavily favored the Celtics in terms of coverage and clearly wanted Boston to win. Nobody can deny that...PeACe

66 wins > 57 wins

boston was clearly the better team and as Cowherd pointed out the media just flat out fell for the Lakers having the big name coach and Kobe rather than viewing them as a team of softy euro's who cant play ball with the niggas in Bean Town

It doesnt matter...at that point, Lakers were 12-3 in the playoffs, while Boston was 12-8 vs a much shittier east.

It's kind of the slow decline of most things in this country...

As for ESPN...

-too much about New York teams.  Small markets like KC can't get no love.  We've had major stories here in KC that go totally uncovered.  Priest Holmes comeback to the NFL was a very inspiring story they never covered last year, for example.

-Sports media is all about personal interest stories these days and less about the games themselves. It's about the steroid and spygate controversies, and theres maybe one show that actually gets into the X's and O's (like that show with Merril Hoge and Jaws Edge NFL preview show).

-Steven A. Smith is just trying to entertain, he doesn't really have much knowledge of the game.  For example, he thought that if you kicked a field goal on third down and missed you could try again (which is only possible with a block and recovery).

-The guys that are knowledgable like Peter Gammons just talk about Red Sox and Yankees.

-the 90's had greats like Kilborn and Olberman... u can't beat that.

I've watched a couple episodes of Baseball Tonight recently, and it's been pathetic. The commentators have been pretty weak, they spent a bunch of time on some Battle of the Bands bullshit, and their highlights show one big hit, and they say the wrong name of the hitter or some shit half the time. They fell off.

espn did a good job on covering the priest holmes comeback


now, do you REALLY expect a moron like Peter Gammons to know anything about a team besides the Red Sox?  dude knows Jack Shit.
