ESPN's Hypocrisy

This is what you'll see if you go over to ESPN and look at their College Football page. Does anyone notice a disturbing trend? Yes, all but one of the headlines are negative and yet they have a beautiful picture of Tressel, Carroll, and Richt for all of us to admire. It may be unfair for me to put Richt into the category of Tressel and Carroll but he's gaining steam lately. Tressel and Carroll are two of the dirtiest coaches in college football today but they're also the Teflon Dons of modern college football. Trouble keeps finding their programs but here we are watching ESPN singing their praises once again. Now, do you still think there's not an agenda in Bristol?

Something's wrong when ESPN goes out of their way to make somebody like Joe Paterno look bad, all the while praising guys like Pete Carroll and Jim Tressel!

Thank you.

The ESPN college football homepage has looked like this week in and week out since the spring. PSU legal troubles have been sprinkled in there as well, but it’s always full of players from other programs with legal tissues

It’s like ESPN is ignoring their own reporting. WTF?....and they’re the “Worldwide Leader in Sports”? Bullsh*t. I’ve never really liked the media and ESPN’s hypocritical OTL special has really fueled my opinion.

I still realize reporters are necessary to the success and popularity of a program, but I would like if they were consistently fair with their reporting.

It’s like every nerdy, unathletic reporter wants to do that defamatory and intrusive piece that gives them their fifteen minutes.

power rankings

Power rankings have PSU 20th, with a mention of off field troubles and Joe Paterno’s old age. Give it a break. This network took the wrong turn 10 years ago. Bring back ESPN of the 80s!!
