No, automatically assuming that just because someone is a graduate of a top-tier university and receives a large-bucks salary he/she can't be an idiot is what's evidence of a lack of perspective.

Nice straw man. I'm not saying you can't have some fun with your rival but this goes well beyond that...but you already knew that.

It's a college football chat site, not an on-line theological discussion. Most of those you mentioned in your own strawman have indeed at one time or another done and/or said something which justifies the response given by many here. It's not "hating", but rather an opposing reaction to what the individuals have done/said. But, go ahead and continue to pigeon-hole statements that disagree with, or don't support, someone as "hating"...

ESPiN matched NBC Sports offer to the Big East and kept the league for $20 million per year. In other words, Ohio State could have bought the Big East media rights with what it gets from TV annually. :biggrin:

Also, John Skipper of ESPiN says the network is doing as much NHL highlights and analysis as it did when they owned the media rights. I highly doubt that (but don't watch SportsCenter, so I might be wrong).

Listen, just because some guy says something you don't agree with doesnt make him an idiot or a jerk or a cheater. Yet that is a typical reaction. It definitely is "hating" whether you want acknowledge it or not.

Hater. :shake:

I don't at all listen to his show (or anything ESPN Radio, even WBNS), but Cowherd actually said people don't show up to Indiana Pacer games because they're racist?

I really doubt he has any data that backs that up.

Scott Van Pelt plays it pretty straight, the three times I listened to his show in the past, but it seems like Mike & Mike are soft interviewers (morning zoo-ish) and Cowherd is a troll.

Let's not forget where the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party had their headquarters until the late 1970s: Indianapolis.

Well, they didn't set up there because it was a hostile environment. The second Klan achieved its greatest political influence in Indiana.

Here's a 1920s march in Indianapolis:

To this day, the KKK has one of its largest and most active memberships in Indiana.
