Sports Reporters

[dragonfootballfan]

I used to watch the show religously on sundays when ESPN had Dick Schaap hosting it. Now I watch it every now and then because John Saunders and company really let their bias show bad. This morning they spent a 3 minute segment on the rose bowl, which was spent talking mostly about how pete carroll did not have reggie bush on the field during fourth and 2. A few months ago they spent five minutes debating whether Mack Brown was classless for kicking a field goal against Kansas in the second quarter right before halftime. I really wanted to see them eat crow but they just talked about eli manning.

ditto for me... I used to always watch it.

now it is little more than shameless self promotion combined with their political views as well. I can watch the big networks for that...

Will someone come to the table with a real opinion?

That show is worthless now. To think that they replaced an amazing real sports reporter like Dick Schaap with John Saunders makes me sick. I used to love that show because it featured the greatest sports writers in the land... Dick Schaap, Mitch Albom, Mike Lupica, Bob Ryan, etc. Now, it's nothing but a bunch of second rate hacks. The old guys were there to talk sports and tell the great stories of the time. It seems like the guys on there now are just there to create controversy or something.
