gantrules Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 holy crap....if this is an unbiased sports network I'm Nancy Regan. Has anyone taken a look at the articles they have put up there today? They are down right nasty. Nasty I say. I understand the "Sportsguy" articles but my god.....everyone on the staff must be a Sox fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 What is it with people anyways.....I remember when the Lakers lost to Detroit. While I was rooting for the Pistons, I don't understand the sports talk guys and the media outlets calling them chokers and selfish and losers...same thing they are saying about the Yanks. Last time I checked no one is even close to the Yanks number of trophies...and the Lakers won how many championships while Kobe & Shaq were there? I just don't understand. We try to teach our children to say "good game" and play the game with respect for each other but yet when one team wins in professional sports you see this kind of garbage on the "professional" media outlets. To me, a sports fan, it's not in good taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I watch poker it's on the other network that televises it. They do a better job and don't have Norman Schad as a commentator. That alone... I Tivo "Primetime" and anything involving the word "Buffalo" - right now that's about the only time my cable box hits that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also subscribe to the ESPN Insider package, which allows me to watch PTI whenever I want online. No need to sit through the annoying hip hop crap that seemingly EVERY sportcaster on ESPN likes to do nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the "These Are The 80s" show on that channel. Reminds me of when MTV first began and videos were cheezy pieces of crap to laugh at.

Indy Dave Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Earlier today, they had a picture on the front page of ESPN.com, showing Red Sox fans who had climbed on top of a billboard. They were drinking beer (OK that's an assumption, but you take a guess) and one of the guys had his middle fingers out. Very classy. I got an email this morning from a friend who works at ESPN. She is miserable today with all of the Red Sox fans up there. I'm sure it would be fun if you were a Red Sox fan, but the fact is ESPN is not NESN. They are supposed to be professional journalists, regardless if they grew up rooting for the Sox. Their completely biased coverage has been ridiculous for a few years now. Peter Gammons was about to spunk all over himself last night. It's one thing to be happy over what happened...I would be too. But there is also a time to be a professional, and ESPN employs very view of those on-air types these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent post and you are right, I know someone who works there too and you arent exaggerating. Its unprofessional. When I interned for the New Jersey Devils, I was working a Buffalo Sabres game and the Sabres won, and I never celebrated once, especally on the job. That would be unprofessional. I was there to do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generation ME Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 If they ever had a " Bodyslam Stuart Scott " auction on e-bay, I bet it would reach 7 figures. They should give him the " Mr. Nobody " award , then retire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
