ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

I don't think it was slanted at all. I thought everyone knew how broadly disliked Urban Meyer tends to be within the coaching fraternity. I think Nick Saban is similarly regarded.

People tend to hold grudges against those who have soundly kicked their asses and then not pretended to feel sorry about it.

I know there's dislike of Meyer, but I haven't seen Saban treated like that in interviews. A coach coming off an undefeated season, is ranked second in the preseason polls, and is coaching the Heisman frontrunner (according to Vegas) and the first two questions deal with that kind of crap?

Gotcha - no slant, no bias, no ESPN agenda.

Nor have I. For a network that proclaims themselves as the worldwide leader, that's pretty bush-league.

Them fuckers won't ask him about over signing in a piece about over signing.

Obermann? "Communist, left wing nut?" Doubt he'll be commenting on racist, extremist right wing politics.
He works for ESPN. If they want him to stick to sports, he'll do sports. If they want him as a mouth piece, I'm sure he'll oblige. Could it all go wrong? That's a possibility.

The chances of anything involving Olberman going sideways? No, no chance at all that he would ever infuse his despicable world view into his sports commentary. None at all.

Olberman is a communist left wing nut with questionable sanity and a penchant for self-destruction - who makes me sick to see his enlarged face on my HD TV. And if you give me time, I'll tell you what I really think about him.

You guys watch him and I'll read your reports.

Go Bucks!

Hyperbole aside--I'm curious-- how do you define communism? (Sorry, not getting political, just a pet peeve seeing "communist", "fascist" and such thrown around willy-nilly.)

ESPN can't even SEC right. The craziest game of the night just ends (and happens to be SEC vs SEC), and on that very same channel what does SportsCenter talk about? The person who they've been told to push....Clowney.

They're going to make me root very hard against that kid. It's not fair to him, but it's going to happen.

The only time I've ever agreed with anything that douchecanoe has said was when he went off about how Bristol runs things.
