ESPN sucks, so do thread closers

... I can't imagine such horror. Surely it's on their website now. I must see this.

[Guest Smues]

I don't know if anyone saw but before PTI's big finish on sportcenter, they had a debate between Jay Mariotti and Skip Bayless. My god it was horrible.

Thank god I just skip over all of the SC that's inbetween PTI, that sounds awful. What were they debating?

I've started just watching the PTI repeat on ESPNEWS to skip the Sportscenter crap. Man, I just don't remember the 6 pm Sportscenter being filled with so many non-stories trying to be spun into stories.

 

And yeah, Doug Gotllieb is horrible. He always has the cocky smirk and he was basically smiling when talking about the death of Diego Corrales.

What do you think? Roger Clemens. And it wasn't just one segment. Thankfully I turned it off before they got to the second.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

It seems like there's more steroids crap than Clemens stuff.

 

I don't know which is worse.

 

Of course, Schilling had to stir the pot. But, I prefer his controversial attention whoring than Clemens' lame, annoying attention whoring.

I'm glad that black chick is back for 1st and 10 instead of Steven A. Smith. Those Smith/Bayless arguments are death to all television.

Remember the Old School/Nu Skool segments those two used to have on SportsCenter?

According to Todd Boyd, if you don't want Barrry Bonds to break the HR record you're a racist.

 

Why does ESPN.com let that race baiter stir the pot.

[Guest]

I guess I'm a racist. When is the next crossburning.

This Boyd is a professor at USC, too. That's just great.

[Guest]

These people that bring up race when they discuss Bonds... they need to go look in the goddamn mirror.

 

There's a white man from just down the street. Ostracized from the game.

 

A Cuban. Ostracized.

 

A Puerto Rican. Ostracized, or at least he should be.

 

A black man that should be ostracized from the game when he retires.

 

This is exclusive to no race. To NO RACE. Steroids are a human issue. Not a black issue, hispanic issue or white issue. It's always these stupid motherfuckers that I've never even heard of that write this shit too. Why does anybody give them the platform? Self respecting men would not bring race into the picture, I know that much.

 

Rant over.

I'm waiting for someone to call Hank Aaron an Uncle Tom.

[J.B. Buzzkill 0]

I feel it is a shame that the uppity Bonds is going to dethrone our Aryan hero Heinrich Aaron. A complete shame.

[Guest George's Box]

Well, the Booyah Network has done everything but come right out and just say it already.

Have they done the "Is Hank Aaron JEALOUS of Barry Bonds?" story yet? Or a "Why Barry Bonds would be better for baseball to have the home run record than Hank Aaron" story. I thought that one or both of those would be on the air or in production by now.

[Guest]

The second ESPN comes out and says that Hank Aaron is an Uncle Tom is the second that I delete all of their channels from my guide.

 

And I would never watch ABC again unless I had to.

Melrose, Anthony, Cowlishaw, and Kurkjian the Knights of the Sports Table.

 

Kurkjian had a WTF look anytime baseball wasn't being discussed.

[fazzle 0]

I just liked how Melrose's response to just about anything was basically "Shut up! You're stupid! Your point is stupid!"

Not a reason why ESPN sucks, I guess, but during the 1 hour NASCAR special today, a headline at the bottom of the screen read: Affect on the Rest of the Season when talking about the whole DEI story. This is an error. Affect is the verb. Effect is the noun. Yeah, I correct grammar. Whatever.

[Guest George's Box]

Affect can be a noun, if you're talking about somebody speaking with a flat affect, but that has the emphasis on the first syllable.

[alfdogg 0]

I'm not one to subscribe to all the NASCAR-bashing, but I actually changed it off of ESPNNEWS because of the egregious amount of coverage the DEI stuff was getting.

[Timmy8271 0]

Mike Massaro is related to Ashley correct?

 

I can't stand ESPN's Nascar coverage. Between that Eric guy and the guy that's face looks like it was caved in, they are annoying.

I wish they'd just release Tom O'Brien from his contract already so he can do Red Sox games on the radio full-time. Glenn Geffner is just painful to listen to.

What is Harold Reynolds doing right now? I figured FOX would have pixked him up.

[Broward83 0]

According to Wikipedia, he's got a lawsuit going against ESPN and nothing else.

I'm watching Sports Reporters right now. I know people don't like Jackie Mcmullen here but Selena Roberts is much worse. God her voice is annoying.

I love Jackie Mac. She actually knows what she is talking about on ATH.

Fuck you, ESPN. Kirk Radomski has about as much to do with the Mets as Joe Torre.

[Guest George's Box]

He was in the Mets clubhouse for ten years. That's something.

A former employee of the New York Mets has pleaded guilty to distributing performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of major league players between 1995 and 2005, and is cooperating with baseball's steroids investigation.

 

Radomski, a former Mets batboy who also worked as an equipment manager and clubhouse assistant while with the team from 1985-95...

 

Radomski did not push drugs while with the Mets. His employment prior to his steroid distribution is irrelevant.
