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.

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.
