My thing with ESPN is why are they making the Jets such a huge story this year? I understand the Tebow thing, but come on. They air Jets stuff on all of their TV shows and then all of their radio shows talk the Jets...........it's just annoying. I like Tim Tebow, but I can't wait for the day when he retires. The Giants just won the SB and we hear nothing about them....
I know you listen to Colin Cowherd, so you probably already know this, but during the summer of Lebron, his show and all of the shows on ESPN TV & radio were wall to wall Lebron. Somebody called up and complained, so in typical Cowherd fashion he ran the guy down and basically said, and im paraphrasing in my best Colin Cowherd:
"Listen buddy, we have very smart people who work here, and we know what hooks listeners & viewers. We get company directives handed to us every morning detailing what to talk about based on what research tells. We aren't going to sit here and break down games, Lebron is THE story, we are going to talk about Lebron. When Favre is THE story we are going to talk about Favre. Normal people don't listen all day like you do in your moms basement, most of our listeners are smart people, professionals, who listen for ten minutes in the car, blah blah blah typical troll Cowherd stuff"
Jets, apparently, are THE story right now. And Cowherd has no professional credibility. He's a corporate chump who gets handed his directive every morning, and finds his troll angle. Cowherd is a fun listen sometimes, but it's obvious he isn't in this to be a great sportstalk host, he's in this to become the biggest star he can possibly be. Shit, he essentially admits that. Cowherd talks about Lebron, Kobe, CFB, NFL, Tiger, Tebow 90% of the time. He admits on air, that the only baseball team he will watch/follow is the Yankees. Sound familiar?
