ESPN continues to shrug Browns
-
I know three people who work or have worked at ESPN and they'll all tell you the same thing. There is a definite agenda. Every day there are five stories that are going to get rammed down everyone's throat. They go for ratings and sizzle rather than news. Anything remotely interesting (or even not) about Brett Favre is an example of something that will always get to the top. Cowboys are another example.
In a way, I don't care because ESPN is even more biased than the other media. Did you know that they have had a business relationship in Boston with Bob Kraft? Conflict of interest? Perhaps they're suppressing this story.
Either way, we still need to fly under the radar until after this week.

The Cowboys aka America's Team falling flat is a bigger story considering the amount of talent, money and media hype that was invested into it. The bigger story should be what more should Wade Phillips do to get Jerry Jones to fire him ? Does Wade have some damning evidence of JJ doing something illegal that is preventing the firing ?

Sorry but the two biggest rating draw in the National Football League are Brett Favre and the Dallas Cowboys (the largest fan following in the country). Remember ESPN is national and they cater stories that will attract the most attention from the most people.
-
ESPN spent 5 minutes (8% of SportsCenters one hour before Wade Phillips got fired) to drone on about the 1-7 Cowboys, even including Lebron James' tweets about the Cowboys?!?!?! COME THE F@#K ON!!!!
They did spend 3 minutes talking about the 4-4 Dolphins @ 6-2 Ravens, but two minutes of that was about the supposed spitting incident. ESPN sucks.

I will say on ESPN's behalf: they were just giving out gameballs on NFL primetime, and the two experts each gave their one gameball to a Brown (Hillis and McCoy were the recepients). That's pretty cool.

and they did have stuckey on 'first and ten' this morning. hillis highlights have been on all the espn shows today. i just hope mangini holds back the hype from the team. i'd rather have no coverage than that which might blow up players' heads.
btw f the cowboys and f brett favre.

ESPN seems only interested in promoting individuals & their stories. Tiger, LeBron, Favre, A-Roid, & Kobe currently. I guess the Cowboys, Yankees, Heat, & Red Sox are the only teams worth talking about.
I used to watch Sportscenter all the time, now it's rare for me. The old NFL Primetime show, with Chris Berman was funny, but now, there isn't much on that keeps me watching. I'm sick and tired of individuality over team.
-
Hopefully we will soon return to being one of the "always featured teams" with "always featured players" because in bigtime sports tv nobody likes to hear about a loser except the losers fans and yet jones keeps finding ways to keep the cowturds in the bigtime picture, our time is coming! hehehehe...

Well, for what its worth, this morning on Mike and Mike ESPN Radio the running topic of conversation was about Mike Golic's new "Man Crush" on Payton Hillis.
Golic was praising Hillis for his performance and stated how he really admired Hillis's "guns"/ his biceps. Greenberg then jumped on him about that all morning. During all that time they were talking about how well Hillis played and how well he was built. So Hillis got a lot of love in that regard from ESPN.
One comment Greenberg made was that when the Browns traded Brady Quinn for Payton Hillis, so did Golic. (Golic was also supposed to have a 'man crush' on Quinn).
When Mike Ditka came on Mike Greenberg asked him if Ditka thought it was normal for a guy to talk about how much he admired another guys "biceps". Ditka said " I don't know about his guns because I was admiring Hillis's tush".
It was hilarious, needless to say.

Golic also gave the Browns his good award of the week and said a lot of nice things about the team. And the Browns game was also a topic on the first segment of PTI today. I was happy with the coverage. If they just keep winning games and playing tough the respect will come. These things don't happen overnight.
