It's been 6 games!

ESPN is already comparing this years Celtics team to the Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10. Are you kidding me? It's been 6 games. I understand that you crave a great team in the Boston market. You want it so desperately. However, it's been 6 games. Six. One more than five.

I'll permit you to start comparing them after... oh... 50 games or so. How's that sound?

ESPN, you are becoming (if not already) a mouthpiece for everything I hate about the sports media. You slurp on anything that you think will be popular. Oh, the Celtics might be good? Let's show Celtics games every day. Let's preempt SportsCenter with breaking news that Rajon Rondo just had a layup. Yay Celtics! Hooray for Boston.

Suck it ESPN!

Totally agree. I've noticed that ESPN seems to be increasingly willing to pander to the big market teams' wishes. The coverage they get is ridiculous.

I'm sure it's hard for them to NOT do it though, since it puts even more money in their pockets. Same as the media sensationalizing dumb stories that cater to the lowest common denominator.

Plain and simple- ESPN only reports items in its best interest. It is in no way a news organization. It's knee-jerk sports entertainment with a strong east coast and pop-culture/present time bias.

ESPN stands for:
Entertainment &
Self
Promoting
Network

Suck it ESPN.
