Did You Know ESPN Kind of Sucks?

I'll bet you did. Yet we're all left with the same dilemma -- what else can we watch? ESPN has a stranglehold on sports television and, though they often suck terrible, they're the most comprehensive as well. Mainly because they're like the Starship Enterprise and just consume everything in their path. Or is a better metaphor that they're like the aliens in Independence Day? Hard to say.

But not for Phil Mushnick. He thinks ESPN sucks and he isn't afraid to say so, going so far as to call Chris Berman "ESPN's head clown." Hee. Don't be surprised if ESPN puts a hit out on Mushnick now.

In the same column, he also comes down hard on Mike Francesa, who, if you've never had the displeasure of listening to on WFAN radio in New York, well, consider yourself lucky.

  1. I think of them more like Unicron, consuming and destroying everything.

  2. I'm just sick of seeing nothing but effing Yankee's and Red Sox games.

  3. I can't believe that Around The Horn is still on the air. Who still cares about Mariotti and Paige's knee jerk opinions?! As long as that show is on the air, I can't have respect for ESPN.

  5. Yeah, we tend not to allow overt insults or retards who can't put up a two-word comment without a misspelling (i.e., "Purdure sucks!").

    Anything else is fair game, but obnoxious insults pretty much aren't. But yes, that makes us cowards.

  6. OMG yes. Around the Horn is so bad that, well ... it exceeds my ability describe it. I still don't understand how that moving pile of crap is still on the air and Stump the Schwab was off the air faster than Star Trek.
