Some ESPN watching…

I was watching ESPN today and noticed a few things that are ridiculously stupid. The first is the pathetic B-list writer’s room series called E:60. What a circle jerk of wanna be writers. Michael Smith is such a boring TV personality, I’m surprised they even let him open his mouth. You sucked on ATH, you sucked as a SportsCenter reporter, you still suck here.  Move you face muscles for god’s sack, I’m concerned you may have Bell’s Palsy. Besides this, during a story about Michael Vick in prison there was a reference to Vick being “all time quarterback” during pick up games, to which Rachel Nichols replied, “What is all-time quarterback?” Are you kidding? Take away the fact that you are reporting on sports and know who Michael Vick is, know that he is unfairly better than anyone in prison, is a quarterback on a professional team, and that this is something any sports fan, much less reporter, should learn at age 5. Let’s use some logic. All-time means that you are doing something all of the time. I didn’t even need to use my four years of college to figure that out. Good work on edumacating her Northwestern.  Maybe she went to the Northwestern School of Driving. Even the other “reporters” were trying not to laugh as they explained, “he’s quarterback all of the time for both teams”.  Not to mention half of this show is spent with the writers giving their own stupid opinions on their own stupid stories. I don’t care what you have to say cookie-cutter reporter who can’t get his own show. Shut up already.

The other ridiculousness I saw was while watching SportsCenter. They have this crazy interruption called Right Now. Stay with me here. They interrupt what they are currently reporting on, to let you know what stories they are currently reporting on. I half expect them to say “Right Now on SportsCenter, we interrupt Right Now to bring you Right Now.” Now this isn’t a simple update of a score that is currently ongoing. They actually interrupt a story they were just talking about to tell you about the story they talked about right before that. Nice work ESPN, you have actually induced ADD in my previously healthy brain.
