Re: ESPN reports skins have "no chance"
 

[quote=Skinsfanmania;401736]dmek, I think you're the only person that loves or atleast ever admitted loving ESPN. They are absolutly horrible and will never "eventually" submit real news. They recently stated that Gibbs will eventually be inducted into the HOF.[/quote]

Also, that wasn't ESPN, it was SCOUTS, Inc which in many ways is far more egregious, because SCOUTS is a professional service whose reputation is predicated on their deep knowledge of the sports they cover. ESPN is sports entertainment journalism. Big difference, IMO.

I still detest what ESPN has become, but honestly I think it parallels what network news has become as well. At some point, journalism took a backseat to sensationalism and who knows where we're headed at this point.

Chris Berman has picked the Seahawks to win, 23 - 16. Some people will have to be shown. They lack the intuition to see it as it's happening. In Berman's case, I suspect all that extra fat is preventing him from feeling the Redskins vibe as well.

If you listened to ESPN you would be convinced that the Redskins are an awful team that somehow is being lifted on a "wave of emotion". The reality is, of course, that they just started to play up to their abilities. They have beaten their last four opponents soundly in all three phases. And they have been quite methodical in doing it. It's less about "emotion" than it is "conviction".

Who cares about Berman, it's been a while since I've seen him pick the Skins.
