billsfanmiami(oh) Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm watching this ESPN draft special right now, and in the first 10 minutes they have used the word "signability" (referring to the probability that a team would be able to sign their first rounder without much trouble) about 15 times. Is it even a freakin word? If it is a word, is it just me or does it not sound right? Even if it's me just being picky, ESPN is still < RJ....

Oh and not only did they keep saying it over and over, they had a little text box at the bottom of the screen that said something like "how much does signability affect a GM's decisions?"

I actually turned on ESPN this morning for the first time in several months to see if I could catch some Sabers highlights. The first three minutes I have it on while getting ready from work and I hear the "BOOYAH" from retard Scott. Then I remembered why I never watch ESPN> If you like the guy, sorry, he just annoys me everytime I hear him speak. He doesn't have to speak actually, just looking at his stupid sheep's face makes me want to slap him! On anothe note, is there ANYWHERE in Richmond where they have center Ice and would show the Sabers? I was at the pool hall last night, talking to the proprietor about getting it in the future (and about how Cambell splattered that frog the other night) and this super cute girl came in with her crew wanting to know if they were showing the Sabers. She had a Bills hat on too! If I didn't have a league match that night, I might have gone with them. What about Mulligans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 athleticism sets me off, and once I heard the word "Trickeration" used. 670202[/snapback] WTF is "trickeration"? Does it come inside a 60's breakfast cereal? OK, the same complaint theme has been used ad nauseum in a lot of different areas, but damn - it seems like each year that goes by TV gets dumber because it's cheaper to do so, and they have it in their heads that we will accept anything because it's TV. That said, I have no idea how to change it. The "smart" channels, like History, Discovery and NGC have fallen into it as well. UFO tabloid and secret weapons of the Nazis. Sheesh.

Seriously, I watch every game. Been watching on the covered porch. Any Richmondites want in, im good. Only deal is I tivo the first 45 minutes or so as the little lenz knuckleheads go to bed at 7.30. My pennance for hopefully having the the next two months of every other night tied up is kid duty on game nights. So, game starts at 7.45, but all caught up usaually by the 10 minute mark . You will miss no action Ah yes, also TV out there a little small at 23 inch widescreen, but great Samsung LCD so all good. Also, must bring own beer I am at River and Gaskins, let me know!!!!!!

Ramius Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I hate ESPN, because they are the only media source that still *loves* Bar-roid Bonds. Everyone else agrees he's a roided up !@#$ and his "breaking" of ruth's record doesnt mean sh--, except them. They keep pimping his "chase for ruth" like anyone outside of barry cares. Also, i hate the way they constantly deep throat the NBA. get a clue espn, the NBA (otherwise known as the national three point and dunk association) sucks.

stuckincincy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've noticed that "running downhill", or "east - west" fell out of favor last year. I am happy that "possession receiver" (no speed) , "hard-nosed" (not good enough to start), and "high motor" (racial slur for a Caucasian who makes few tackles) remain in the vernacular.

Even if it's me just being picky, ESPN is still < RJ.... 670114[/snapback] ESPN sucks because they've already had about 500 hours of NFL draft coverage so far in 2006 and the draft is still a few days away. Seriously, spending 2 hours a day talking about the draft is not necessary. It's garbage. And, yes, the NHL playoffs are more important than a "hard-hitting" interview with Matt Leinart about why he took ballroom dancing his last semester.
