Today's sports media is so terrible!
Take Chris Broussard for an example, yesterday he was so confident Lebron was going to Cleveland he said he was 85% sure he was going there. Now he just tweeted

This is getting very interesting. Definitely not at 85 pct for Cavs anymore
This isn't just an NBA rant this is a sports media rant in general. Like look at our dear enemies Kim and Ruth who constantly insist on being part of the story, making up shit just to fit their agenda, the need to always be FIRST!!!! , purely making up bullshit sources hoping to be right and if wrong it's oh well that's what it was at the time learn the fucking difference.
It's just pure nonsense. What happened to fucking journalism the last 20 years?! Now we get fat fucks like Softy who so desperately want to fit in they are practically a mouth piece for our local teams.
I know this post comes off as get off my lawn but fuck it I want my old sports media coverage back! I miss real reporting, actual journalism. Instead I get stuck with a bunch of dickheads all gunning to be FIRST! and making up pure bullshit.

KJR yesterday jumped the gun and reported that Lebron was going back to Cleveland lol.

OMG! What a shitshow they've become lately. I mean they are terrible but it's like comedy lately.CuntWaffle said:KJR yesterday jumped the gun and reported that Lebron was going back to Cleveland lol.
With 710 having a morning show plus KJR having no sports teams now it's just a matter of time before they go away.
At least when Softy is unemployed he can always look at the Lombardi Trophy in his living room ;-) -
ESPN has been a dreckfest since the late 90s. Everyone else followed suit.

I would love for Softy to have to take a job in Laramie, Wyoming doing the Wyoming Cowboys pregame show when KJR putters out.Boobs_Or_Harv said:

Fuck man. I used to love SportsCenter. Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick and Eisen. Fuck me.

Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman were the shit back in the day.PurpleJ said:Fuck man. I used to love SportsCenter. Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick and Eisen. Fuck me.
Craig Kilborn was really good too.

Any chance ESPN even puts on a local show against Mitch if Mitch wasn't in full mailing it in mode?

I think this has more to do with KJR is very vulnerable after losing the Huskies. Like any smart business when your competitor is in trouble you stomp on their throat.Tequilla said:Any chance ESPN even puts on a local show against Mitch if Mitch wasn't in full mailing it in mode?
I really like Brock Huard too and normally don't listen to local radio. However, I will listen to Brock and Salk in the morning on my drive to work. -
Brock's very intelligent, is fair and balanced. He's obviously in the Seattle market but he's not going to sit there and sugar coat it.
KJR obviously is very vulnerable right now. On top of that, Mitch's best skill from a host standpoint is that he's a strong interviewer. However, it's hard for them to get guests on the show now that you have ESPN guys not willing to come on his show, CBS guys not going on shows now that they have their own network, etc. -

I wish Dan Patrick was my dad.

Stuart Scott started the end of SportsCenter, just so you know.PurpleJ said:Fuck man. I used to love SportsCenter. Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick and Eisen. Fuck me.
"boo-yah!"
"Holla atta playa when you see him on da street!"
"Ah, dog just said to dog, 'dog dat ain't right,"
Ears bleeding, and now it's slapstick comedy hour, only not funny -

Yep that's why I didn't give Purple J a "thumbs up". IMO he was the start of the fall. I remember Olberman pissed some people off cause he shit on Hartford so he bailed. That was fine as Eisen and Patrick were pretty good.CaptainPJ said:

Then Scott started to be the main anchor and it went to shit. Then the talent started to leave one by one with Killbourn(he might have left before Olberman), Olberman, then Eisen and Patrick leaving I never thought would happen.
It's very symbolic to Doogman where the good sportscasters(good posters) eventually got tired of the bullshit and were unfairly ran/chose to LEAVE! so all that is left is the shit(Scott, Berman) and new idiots(Skip Bayless, Stephen A, Broussard). -

I loved Kilborn. One time the Clippers had some long losing streak and he did the highlights of the game they won to break the streak. I was under 10 years old but vividly remember his call on the highlight package, it was so great. He called Pooh Richardson "Pooh Pooh Kachoo".dnc said:

If we're gonna BASH Stuart Scott, I'm OUT! He has a fucked up eye! Show some respect!

I always hated Olberman, even when he was paired with Dan Patrick. An intellectual prick and sports don't go together. Dan Patrick is great though, and I enjoy his radio show. I check out his interviews every now and then.
Stuart Scott sucks. Another guy I never liked. I know many of you don't like Berman, and he can be annoying, but I do enjoy the Sunday Night NFL highlights with him and Tom Jackson. In general ESPN sucks. When I was a kid I loved SportsCenter, but now I can't watch more than 2-3 minutes of it. -
I like Berman too. I'm just about his complete opposite politically, but I loved Olberman on Sportscenter. Dude was great.RoadDawg55 said:I always hated Olberman, even when he was paired with Dan Patrick. An intellectual prick and sports don't go together.

I totally agree about the sports media, but I would add that it's just a microcosm of the media in general. There is basically no investigative journalism anymore. The mainstream media is more worried about access than doing their jobs (sound familiar?) and the 24hour news cycle is pretty much unwatchable. Most, if not all, forms of the mainstream press are pretty much state-run, as they are given the narrative and told what they can/can't say. I'd rather light myself on fire than watch 20 minutes of CNN, Fox News or MSNBC. Or Sportscenter, for that matter.

stuart scott has been suffering from the crud lately, cut him some slack you raycissts

Early to mid-90s ESPN didn't have back to back to back to back to back to back to back Sports Center running from midnight until noon. They actually had quality morning content like women doing aerobics on a beach back to back to back.PurpleJ said:ESPN has been a dreckfest since the late 90s. Everyone else followed suit.
The good ole days. -
As shitty of a movie as it was, Anchorman 2 did a great job of laying out why the media sucks today. It all came about with the 24-7 news cycle. I blame Ted Turner and Ron Burgandy.

Beat me to the Anchorman 2 reference. It had our current media crisis dialed in.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
