Ghost of BiB Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Similar conversations come up in other venues, with regards to national news coverage and their actual or perceived bias. Networks no longer report, they shape in the interest of developing their niche in a demographic. They do this by providing entertainment vs. information. Everyone here crying about ESPN's (or anyone elses coverage for that matter) had to be watching it to get pissed off. Victory? To ESPN. They don't care what you, or I think. They only care that you watch. If you're watching because they drive you nuts - so what? Watchers = advertising revenue.

He could have easily posted something else and been able to use that post in the 10 or 11 spot. I am pretty sure a poster like Alaska Darin would have not posted that in that spot. Bad job and typical of our problems here.

What I want is a dominating topic, and we've taken exactly ZERO steps toward getting that as a board.

Lurker Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I watched the NFL network about 80% of the weekend, so I guess victory is fleeting...

And if ESPN/the media causes so many people in here to get all vitriolic, upset, and defensive, the solution to their problems is simple: don't watch it, you'll feel better.

Look what I would have gotten had I traded down. Honestly, if one was following the draft, what does one need beyond NFL.com's board?

No arguement here.
