ESPN...UCF...REALLY?

[MikeG]

ESPN has a formula--- it is very simple. They have a take on how things will be presented in a given day. Whatever is in the formula is the party line and will be repeated over and over all day long.

There are times when they decide to have a planned argument. The two (sometimes more) people involved are assigned sides to that argument whether that is what they actually believe or not-- simply so they can have that argument and look like there is an actual sports debate occurring (it's not-- totally fake). So some of them read this same story line over and over and the names of the teams-- especially in our case with USF and UCF get the same treatment and even get the names confused.

It is not professional at all. It is disguised as some form of entertainment. When Dan Patrick and Olberman used to infuse their own wit and knowledge into the program (a helluva long time ago)-- it was entertaining and something interesting. They came up with catch phrases, nicknames, bits-- whatever. ESPN decided to clone that but you cannot clone something that was more or less off the cuff. Now you cannot watch ESPN without someone trying to make some huge goofy sounds or phrasing. It is a mystery that the guy famous for "boom goes the dynamite" never ended up on ESPN simply because, well, why not-- nothing less original as their current crew.

But the worst was having to watch anything that included Chris Berman. His Back Back Back nonsense during a home run derby was nauseating. He used to do some cute player nicknames but then decided EVERY player had to have one-- annoying. His general whatever just was terrible. You can down the line-- all their guys are pretty much hacks. Don't get me started on their draft coverage.

Cut the cord-- cut ESPN out of the picture. They are yesterdays sports show. The internet will replace them soon enough imo.

ESPN are fascist,  they believe in the idea of the ruling class.  Thus their attentions fall on those who 'matter' and everyone else is filler to them.  As long as there is a P vs G system it will be this way.  Learn to live in  the modern college football version's of the 19th century European political order.  My only hope is that in time, (rhetorically speaking of course) heads will begin to role and the masses will revolt and demand better. 

Which is ironic considering how liberal their views are across the board. 
It would appear that they just like to take whatever stance will benefit them the most, i.e. make them the most profit.
