"I would like to add my thoughts about the fiasco that your network calls "Sunday Night Football". Your broadcast last Sunday was shameful. I tuned in to watch a football game, but to my chagrin I was forced to listen to three pathetic hours of a contrived, over-the-top Tedy Bruschi lovefest.
To whom was this broadcast directed at? Sports fans? I don't think a single fan would have considered cutting away to a useless interview during a crucial moment in the game. Was it directed toward illiterates that can't distinguish between a real hero and a grown man who plays a game for a living? Well, I guess you nailed that one.
I think you performed a disservice to Mr. Bruschi, the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills, and all NFL fans when you turned your broadcast into some sort of night time, made for TV fiction piece.
ESPN's continued slide away from sports reporting and programming into contrived TV is regrettable.
