I'm Sick of ESPN!!!!!

[iceberg]

Futhermore, my problem is not with their opinions. I can deal with that. But with they lie or twist someone's words around to support their argument is what gets to me.

Clayton flat out lied in his article.
Tom Jackson paraphrased TO comments. We don't need journalist to say.."Well this is what TO was really saying"

not jounalism!

Now, I don't watch or complain about Skip Bayless because he is a useless piece of space.

people do that all the time in here too. human trait to hear what you want to hear? while we're not journalists that is something i see all the time in here. people just want to push things to extreme because that's where all the fun/aruging is.

some people just whine and call it a day. you do more than that and it's funny. you "fight back" to a point and get into it. now i have no idea if they'll ever see your rants but it would be funny to hear them respond. but in the end much like in here - some people just won't change their mind.

journalists included.

i have to admit there was a time i probably would have been there with you but in time you just get tired of fighting ignorance cause it's a never ending battle. no matter who you slap down for it - there's always someone more stupid ready to get up and keep the cause alive.

and it's alive only because people *do* care and want to fight it. want to "win" the battle? ignore them, their popularity falls, they get fired and we let the media know this is how we handle crap now.

but as long as we play the game with them this is the way it's going to be.

Skip has to make ridicilous statements to draw attention to himself, its the only reason ESPN keeps him on board. Hes ESPNs version of a shock jock. I find myself watching ESPN less and less every week, they have turned into the National Enquirer of the sports world. Thank god there are more and more options available to us for sports news like the NFL network.

For the record Im not even talking about Cowboys bias, I am referring more to the fact that their so called "journalists" or "experts" are more willing to just make stuff up and fly by the seat of their pants then to actually put in the time to gather facts and form and educated opinion. Sorry to say it but Emmitt is a great example of it, how can we take him serious when he doesnt even know the names of the players on the teams he is talking about, really insightful! Michael Smith is another one, the guy is constantly making stuff up to try and lend credibility to which ever argument he is discussing.

the internet aids the IGS and everyone needs a "scoop".

online the only way to survive is traffic.
10,000 coming at you mad will make you more $ than 1,000 saying "good job"
hit counters don't care why you're there only that you're there and for how long.

you want to put an idiot out of business, quit calling him an idiot.

but doom, rest assured i, much like you, miss the reputable journalist. it's all shockjock these days and people are far too willing to get shocked.

Ehh, I still watch it though. As far as the hatred, that is nothing new from them. Just "Embrace it" because it will never go away.

Yeah Ice....I had to make this video right after I saw it because I get over it quickly these days. I just had to and will continue to point out foul when I see it. Out of all the videos that I've made this year, I think only two of them are directed at media bias(ness?).

i would NEVER wear socks like that.

but i do find it funny you're quick to run to mods when people call you names. hell, you do it *before* people call you names.

but you got no problem dishing it out.

Now that was smart!

Football news to me is like heroin......I'm addicted to it.

I think you need to be the newest member of the ESPN cast....set a few of em straight.
