A Treat

By: Guido

Why is it such a goddamn treat for baseball fans to have the Yankees and Red Sox open the season?

It's not. I do not care about the Red Sox or the Yankees. Only Red Sox fans and Yankees fans care about those teams. They watch the games...and how lucky they are that all of those games are nationaly televised.

Why not mix it up year to year and show some different teams on the opening night. I don't think it's fair to assume that every baseball fan wants to watch the goddamn Red Sox and Yankees all the time.

Why does ESPN think that by catering to all those east coast loving asshole fans, they are catering to everybody? Goddamn how about some variety? How about a one year ban on the Yankees, Red Sox, UNC, Duke, Celtics, Patriots, Knicks, Giants and Woody Fuckin Paige and Jay Fuckin Mariotti. Let's just throw the goddamn Steelers and that whole organization in their too. Too many questionable characters for me on that team. Put Tiger in their too.

Now if you cut all that out of your regular Sportscenter or ESPNews, you are left with a couple NHL or NBA highlights and the usual boring as hell tennis updates...

Im just so tired of the shit.

Fuck espn. It seems like it isn't much more than a tabloid nowadays.The MLB, NFL & NBA networks all have much superior and less biased coverage of their sports. So if you have access to these networks then you are fortunate enough that you don't have to watch the garbage on that network for much more than game broadcasts that are only on espn.

You mention Duke-UNC but with the exception of that senile loudmouth Dookie V I've noticed the network has grown increasingly pro BigEast since they signed a big broadcast deal with the conference a few years back. Still a ton of ACC coverage but from a business perspective it's easy to see why the push the products they are most heavily invested in.
