Just lost a ton of text so here is short version.
Why does ESPN keep shoveling the same old stuff at us if everyone is unhappy with it? All forums report the same complaints but espn and the like keep shoveling out the usual overhyped, sensationalized crap. The most recent example is the 24/7 T.O. saga. Don't think it is going to die anytime soon! They have surpassed the E! Channel for sensationalism of a given star or subject and that is pretty damn bad! How do we get teh message across that we want to see more substance versus fluff and bs and off-the-field nonsense? Guess they don't care. Also cannot take Stuart Scott for more than say 45 seconds. Actually used to like this guy when he first arrived but he morphed into some pretentious, over-the-top phoney. Ironically, these guys claiming to be keeping it real are the biggest frauds going. God forbid they should string together 3 sentences in the King's English - guess they would lose to much street cred or whatever. And BTW, why does Dan "Upstart" Patrick always draw a free pass? He has very few critics out there and all the guy lives for is stirring up shett and getting under the skin of the person he is interviewing. IMO, a complete a-hole and jerk. He owes Olbermann big time.
