Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted June 3, 2004 The worst was when Smith was on PTI a few weeks ago. I almost fled the room in terror. And who are ESPN guys like him to say what the fans want? They only take the side of the fans when it's to try and prove some point no one cares about, otherwise they shit all over the fans constantly. They talk about the fans not getting their money worth for a team playing defense but if they boo one of ESPN's golden boys (IE McNair, McNabb, Yankee players) they'll be all over the fans for having no right to do that.

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted June 3, 2004 I hate a multi billion dollar company like ESPN has those goddamn "cover up the whole screen" pop ups on their site like they need the sponsorship. I mean, I want to find out about sports, not who starred in "My Baby's Daddy". Oh, and Stephen A. Smith is a fucking moron. Between him bitching saying "We as fans don't pay to see players play defense, we want to see then score alot. We are paying these players salary, and we ain't paying for defense." and his "Lakers let Minnesota win" crap last week, it just gives me more ammo to go in the 26 book series on "how many ways does Stephen A Smith suck." goddamned moron. Smith is playing to the camera. Like Stuart Scott, he saw what kind of schtick gets him more ESPN attention and, thus, he plays it. He's filling out the "angry black dude" caricature that ESPN seems to love to have with all of their sports programming. He was tolerable at first. Now, he is a cliche of himself. He's William Shatner for this generation. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Where the hell is Mike Hall? And they should do an Outside the Lines special on Stuart Scott's face. My sister and I would watch Dream Job and spend the whole time analyzing Stu's mug. ("Is his eye moving?" "No.") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister and I would watch Dream Job and spend the whole time analyzing Stu's mug. ("Is his eye moving?" "No.") I never have heard why he has a glass eye. He's had it as long as I've ever seen him. Man, in Orlando, he was actually tolerable. Then, he got to ESPN and had to fill their "street black guy" caricature and, blam, unwatchable. -=Mike ...The white guys all tend to fall into their "bland white guy who thinks he's funny" caricature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Also....... would it kill ESPN to have some variety with the baseball games. I'm really sick of the different combinations of the Yankess, Red Sox, Angles, O's, Giants, Cubs and Astros that they've had all year. Please try to act like there are more than 8 teams in the league. There's been one Reds game so far and I have to sit through all of Sportscenter or Baseball Tonight for highlights and then have to have my team shit on by anchors and co. because they're too fucking lazy to actually research the team. Then when they do praise the team it again shows they don't know shit about the team (IE Graves 24 saves). And also the bandwagon jumping so far. What did the Giants lineup suddenly sign 3 sluggers to the lineup and good pitching. You'd think so with the way ESPN was going on about them winning 10 in a row. Ignoring the fact that most of those wins came against the Expos and Diamondbacks as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Is it OK for blacks to post? -=Mike I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern at TSM. The media has been very desirous that a black poster do well. There is a little hope invested in Ripper, and he gets a lot of credit for the performance of his posts that he didn’t deserve. The booty carried his posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted June 3, 2004 So can someone explain why DOC RIVERS gets to cover the NBA Finals? Did I miss the day he became a good announcer? And hasn't he been hired by the Celtics anyway? Shouldn't he be out scouting or something right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I miss the Ainge/Thompson announce crew. I have to wonder: How did Walton EVER get an announcing job --- and how does he CONTINUE to get one? Charity for tall white guys with bad knees and no discernible broadcasting talent? Heck, I got two of the 3 myself --- HIRE ME!!! -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 I still wonder why Bill Walton is in the Hall of Fame and called one of the 50 greatest. The "if he was black" thing doesn't apply to Bird, but I think with Billy it actually aplies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Didn't the executives at ESPN/ABC shit all over Walton for consistently dropping Grateful Dead references? Maybe they put the Doc up there instead of him for that. (not that I'm a Dead-head by any stretch of the imagination, but would choose a "Scarlet Begonias" reference over an Jay-Z reference 7 days a week) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
