Yeah I know what you mean... I'm beginning to hate ESPN and what they're doing to sports. they're doing to it what MTV did to Music. bringing in the wrong crowd, the wrong attention, focusing on everything BUT The music... or in this case, the Sport itself.
True statement if I ever have seen one. Through my affiliations with professional sports and athletes I know for a fact that the media seems to focus only on the negative stories and figures. There's so much good that occurs in the local communities around those teams but you rarely see mention of it or the athletes who are model citizens.

Haha. I don't really watch sports but mainly the reason was the announcer people. Take a break and they get yakking and yakking about how things will turn out and how they would have done it. Then als of the special effects and flashy shit htey have in the backround just distracts.

Then they put those dumb blonde bimbos who a year earlier before taking a job probably couldn't name one athlete despite they probably fucked one at some point in time.

seems like letting your play do the talking and be an upstanding roll model for today's youth is a forgotten art.
No kidding.
