"I will smash ur face in!" Cromartie and Hasselbeck in twitter battle

[Shadowbyte]

Who cares what Cromartie says? That's why I hate ESPN. All they do is manafacture fake controverseys to increase their ratings and web traffic. What Cromartie said is the same thing being uttered by players behind closed doors. Especially by those players who are now free agents.

Everyone knows that Cromartie isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, so who cares what unarticulate comment he foolilshly made. I'm just sick and tired of ESPN exacerbating these petty issues, they're the TMZ of sports journalism.

I think I'm more tired of Darnell Dockett having an opinion on everything. Who cares what that moron is saying? And I agree, I'm sure a lot more players feel the way that Cromartie feels. Unfortunately, Cromartie is not the best spokesman out there.

Actually that is exactly what Crom is doing, and doing a good job of it lately.

They're doing their job and if they don't then someone else will; several other outlets reported on it as well. There are 24 hours of sports coverage per day on the network and that time has got to be filled with something. Things like Twitter help us get into the psyche of professional athletes, something that many of us have daydreamed about what goes through their minds, and how they actually feel about league issues.

I'd like to know who you think does a BETTER job than ESPN while maintaining round-the-clock coverage.

I know I can get a bit defensive in these situations. But no one is manufacturing any fake controversy. They simply repeated and summarized what they tweeted. Nothing more, nothing less

Also, what about these guys?

You're generous by calling it reporting. He takes a story, throws his spin on it (which usually involves as much drama and negativity as possible), and makes mountains out of mole hills.

I still read it daily though. It's a good one stop shop for what's going on around the league.
