Can ESPN be Sued?? I ask...

[risco]

:laugh1:

Because some of you may have a heart attack. I can honestly say that my mindset is a whole lot better these days since I know longer look at ESPN for nothing. Perhaps, some of you should too, jmho.

And btw, this so call valley ranch drama- it's all to do about nothing. The ESPN crew have sucked most of you in, good luck finding a piece of mind.

I don't watch that bs either anymore. Every once in awhile I will watch espnnews and of course I will watch a ball game in HD on it. However, the sportscenters are a thing of the past for me.

I prefer NBATV, NFLN, and the sports pack that you can get with Directv for an additional 10 bones.

For what? Factual reporting? Then you better sue the FWST for reporting the same thing.

If you're speaking specifically to me: for everything.

The factual reporting comes from NFLN.

Yep. But all this nonsense going on at VR via T.O. is "not true" because it doesn't fit with the what fans want the Cowboys to be.

I'm not a fan of ESPN either, but you can bet your arse that when they report something, it's true -- like it or not. I bet all these folks ripping "BSPN" right now were singing their praises while they were reporting T.O.'s antics in Philly.

Anyone who thinks that this is "much to do about nothing" needs to pull their stinkin' head out of the sand.

BSPN is definitely agenda driven. It's really sad.

Indeed. The hypocrisy and willful denial here is staggering, but not altogether unexpected. Much easier to play the "mediot" game than admit that your team is flawed.

Agreed. "Mediot." Only a myopic fan can come of with that sort of phrase.

With all that said, I really, really hope that this team can come together and do something here the last 3 games. IDK if I've been as disappointed in a season as I have been with this one.

A long, long time ago... on a forum far, far away (and here too)... I used to start threads which illustrated how ESPN would unfairly focus their reporting from a leaguewide standpoint to one that narrowed exclusively onto the Cowboys. Even a media source which labels itself the, "Entertainment Sports Programming Network" should not restrict its "entertainment" coverage to basically one out of 32 teams. In my opinion, that remains a very bad operational philosophy for ESPN, even though I must acknowledge that it's also highly profitable for them.

However, I never questioned whether or not their factual reporting shouldn't be debated because of their willingness to sensationalize other events. That is the issue here, namely, what is or isn't being reported correctly as fact.

Even if 99% of fluff can be thrown out with the rest of the trash, 1% of fact is still 1% truth. I can watch ESPN because I'm patient enough to sift through their dirt to see gold being reported by their network from time-to-time. Frustrated? Maybe. Patient? Yes. Everything which ESPN reports isn't an exaggeration or a lie, but some claim that everything broadcast by them is stretched or a falsehood. Neither is that the case nor can it be used as a justification for not watching that particular network.

Can ESPN be sued? Sure it can. You can file suit against anyone or any business.

Will it go to court? Absolutely, not.

On what grounds would you sue ESPN?

More like fabricated reporting... It's obvious that espn jumps on whatever little news the Cowboys generate. Every week it's something. My statement wasn't meant to be taken serious, just something to think about. As for me, I follow the two principals below:

1. Never throw gas on the fire. Right now, there are a lot of gas flames going on this board generated by espn. espn in one ear and out the other===>
2. Never argue with idiots- for they will bring you down to their level and mangle you with their experience. And most of you do not have experience in being an idiot and neither do I.

I agree. I read all these posts by guys who absolutely refuse to even acknowledge that there might be a problem, and I just laugh at them.


Ostriches.

All "news" networks have a legal right to lie. But I guess you can go for defamation lawsuits at any time, though.

They're incorrigible. But that's why the word "fanatic" exists.

I don't really think people are rufusing to believe that there's a problem. There may be a problem, but we will never know. We can only speculate like others. Me coming to this board ranting about what could possibly be going on in the Cowboy's locker room is mute. What can I do to stop it, nothing. So why harp about it. Nothing is ever as bad as it's reported.

This is so reminiscent of the late 1990s.

Michael Irvin never stabbed Everett McIver in the neck. The evil media taking an unnamed source and running with the story. Nearly got poor, innocent Michael violated and sent away.

• The culture remains the same.
  
• Irvin is innocent of everything.
  
• McIver should be more careful when shaving.
  
• T.O. , Witten, and Romo are all BFF and can't wait for the next sleepover.
  
• Anonymous sources leaking information are nothing more than tools of the Devil. In fact, they don't exist.

The items listed in the first and last bullet points seem to be the problems. How this gets out of the locker room is the issue, IMO. Should never happen. The culture at VR certainly invites and likely fosters it.

The NFL and the Dallas Cowboys need the media just as much as it needs them. It's a two-way street. The teams get the exposure and visibility they crave while news outlets gain access.

Filtering what comes out of VR is what many see to want. They can't get enough fluff and tend to discredit or disbelieve the hard items which escape.

Of course, the league lives on the fluff. The media thrives off the juice. Doesn't make either item unlikely, but certainly not as desirable depending on which side you call home.

Personally, I despise the excess of feel-good pieces just about as much as the dirt. I'm not much for sunshine pumping or potbanging. But that may just be me.
