I laughed my ass off when Beast mode played with them. Showed them for the retards they are.

Ouch. Lol. Pretty general statement about sports writers. I agree about ESPN getting stale, but some sports writers are top notch journalists and some are not. Same could be said for any sort of journalist or any job for that matter.
I think the real downfall for espn is simply that I do not really need to tune into sports center anymore to find out what is going on. My phone blows up every time an athlete as much as passes gas. Satellite radio, Twitter, etc etc. When I was young I used to looooove the George Michael Sports Machine. Than Sports Center was like Disneyland for sports. Now it is just old news by the time u tune in. Oh well. Video killed the radio star and now technology killed video.
