CAMPBELL2MOSS4SIX Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 If it is not about Brett Farve, Tom Brady, or Tony Romo sits to pee you will not see it on ESPN or unless it is a black athlete in trouble with the law! Sorry, but this is the "other" world we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredrockSkinsFan Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It was horrible this morning. I couldn't sleep, turned on to news 4 where they immediately talked about Taylor's death. I then flipped to ESPN expecting more in depth coverage, but it was just a bulletin on the side, along with other important news about Tony Romo sits to pee's man crush on Favre. ESPN just lost a viewer. Great, and justified article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but this is the "other" world we live in.You're partially right, but only because those players' teams are winning and are not the Redskins (whom ESPN has some problem with in general).

Dance04 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 the coverage up here in Canada is atrocious as well. no more then 5 seconds i'd say. pretty much "Redskins safety sean taylor has died this morning after being shot monday morning." its disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portisizzle Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 All you have to do to confirm this sentiment is ask yourself. "What if it were Roy Williams?" Non stop 24/7 coverage. Believe it. I did not watch ESPN before. My decision is affirmed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraw238 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Lets see, Coach K saying he's not interested in the Lakers head coach job warranted a 30 minute "Coach K to Stay" special while the murder of a 24 year old pro bowl player gets 20 seconds here and there with special emphasis on his past discretions. Have I missed anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan4221977 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Let's see... terrible MNF coverage, not reporting Taylor's passing till 7 a.m. (CNN had it at 6:30)... dumb comments on SportsCenter... man, I am really starting to hate ESPN.

aairricc Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 maybe if everyone on this site emails the same article to espn they will get the point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 He's right! Think about when Anna Nicole Smith died earlier this year. CNN was all over it, even though she was dumber than a box of rocks and offered very little to society except her body. But, given that ESPN promotes itself as "The Worldwide Leader in Sports," you'd think they would have given Taylor's wound and eventually death more coverage than it received.

TallyHo Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Until about 10:30 this morning, the main story on the front page of the ESPN web site was HAY GUYZ IT WAS MUDDY IN PITTSBURGH LOLOLOL. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMURedskins Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Espn will call every analyst and ignore scheduled programming to talk about ARod's contract and Bond's indictment, but they can't get off their highlight schedule to talk more about Sean Taylor's death.

Novus Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 There is seriously something wrong with that network. Today, during ESPN commercials for "Outside The Lines" at 3 PM, they promoted the fact that they were going to devote it to Sean Taylor's shooting....yet only interviewed Larry Michael for 5 minutes before going on to something else. And even the Sean Taylor career highlights segment before the interview was pretty much just about the legal troubles and NFL fines during his first couple years. AND, when they did happen to mention his Pro Bowl selection last year, they said his hit on the punter was viewed at negatively around the NFL (not in those exact words) -- basically saying it tainted his selection. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 If you want to be considered the Worldwide Leader in Sports, CNN shouldn't be scooping you. By an hour and a half. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalRecall Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Page 1 blasts ESPN for the coverage, but pages 2 and 3 talk about other crap. Did he like go on a tangent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
