I just flipped it back over to ESPN a minute ago.
First of all, I have to confess that I have not been watching a whole lot of ESPN for a while now. Some of that is due to there being nothing on. I concedede that point. Part of it is due to my own personal opinion of ESPN as a whole and how they treat some schools as opposed to others.
What do I see when I flip it over? A rundown of the highlights.
(1) The first involved the Boston Red Sox and their comeback the other night. That will apparently be the play of the day in MLB, because the Lord knows.....there's not another team in baseball capable of making a comeback these days. :roll:
Kinda like how ESPN started their show the other night talking up the Sox and how lucky we all are to have them......while Justin Verlander of the White Sox treated them like fellons in the same game (7+ innings, 6 hits and 7 K's).
Keep in mind that the discussion was regarding how wonderful the Yankees are and can they catch the "hot" Red Sox?
(2) Duke versus North Carolina in basketball.
I'm sorry, but did I miss a memo somewhere? Did everyone in college basketball just suddenly say, "the hell with it let's be Duke or Carolina fans because nothing else matters".
This has become completely INSANE!!!!!! Not only are they hyping it up during basketball season, now they're talking about it and propping it during the off-season. It's like nothing else matters. No one is a fan of any other school than Duke or North Carolina.
Hey ESPN, newsflash......
No one outside of North Carolina cares!!!!!!!!!! We just don't care that much! Put our school on and let us watch them for a change. We just don't love Coach K like you guys do. We're not interested. Stop trying to ram it down people's throats.
Man I'm so sick of ESPN. I'm sick of the politics. I'm sick of hearing Dickey V (the most universally hated sportscaster out there) talk about Coach K and Duke........while he's calling BAMA games. I'm sick of having the Red Sox/Yankees rammed down my damn throat nightly.
I know ESPN is about entertainment but dang! It's gotten outragious!
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ESPN?
Like it?
Hate it?
Indifferent?
