putting money and speculating on hypothetical situations with absolutely no chance of being proven one way or the other, and yet taking the opportunity to use said completely fictitious hypothetical situation to denigrate one conference while fluffing another... how exactly is that not parroting ESPN talking points again?

Well said. The $EC is top heavy but they are just as bad as all the other conferences from there on. ESPiN is like all MSM. They speak thinking we have all forgotten about the past. The same talking heads now hated the possibility of a tOSU - TSUN rematch in '06.

Fuck TSUN!

Jason Whitlock going after the WorldWide Leader, which is nothing new. First thing you need to look for is the byline, not the site carrying the article.

And your point is? My bad for posting an article in the ESPiN thread about ESPiN being picked on. Won't happen again...maybe. :tongue2:

Do you disagree with anything he said?

I don't know enough about the Fine situation to agree or disagree with Whitlock. Whitlock is correct that ESPN sensationalizes and manufactures news stories, and I applaud Whitlock for taking that stand.

But that does not change the fact that he had no problems cherry-picking the juicy bits of other peoples' erroneous articles when he was cashing checks for appearances on ESPN's The Sports Reporters. He never planted his flag on the moral high-ground when he was himself a paid ESPN talking-head, PTI guest, PTI guest host, Page 2 writer, and a contributor to the 'Voices of SportsCenter' segments that used to run several years ago. Since he got fired he now thinks he's ESPN's ombudsman.

Usually that's not important. In this particular case I think it is.

My point is you wrote "FOX going after the WWLIS," when it's Whitlock going after the WWLIS, which Whitlock does every morning when he rolls out of bed. Sorry I obfuscated my comment by leading off with my point and italicizing it.

Anyone know the status of the ESPiN lawsuit against OSU?
Click to expand...

BP has a policy of not having posts that simply ask if there's any news on a topic, since it bumps the thread when there is no need for it.

If there is news, it will get posted in a timely manner.

The latest info I know if is here: Dispatch - which anybody could have found by googling 'ohio state' and 'espn lawsuit'.
