But is he trailer park trashy? And if so which tier? Florida trailer park or Bammer trailer park?

Florida is trailer park capital…

How about you di like I do and only watch espn when it‘s a live sporting event. I’ve done that for well over a decade.

Going on two decades plus for me. Gave up all sports talk and pregame, post game, and during the week garbage some time in the early '00s. Haven't watched a sporting event live since then - it's all recorded on the DVR (or now YTTV), start the games and hour late, and miss halftime, announcer blather, and commercials, and watch at my place. I usually finish the game shortly after it's over live. I could never watch an event live again.

The same goes for any TV News and any cable news stations - I quit watching them about 20 years ago, and am better informed (and a lot more sane) than I ever was. I recommend it highly.

Yep and at the national championship ESPN were in a plexiglass bubble. I think they were getting death threats from tn fans. That would be considered Trashy

Plexiglass? Death threats?
Who was poking the bear? Not Tennessee fans.
Sports media was and is no different than political media. I'm guessing you work for CBS.

Yes, and they and others try to guide and steer the narrative to their ad up, it's what they do and the media in general on politics, sports etc. They are the ultimate influencers.

There's no doubt. I'm not sure if you guys have noticed, but as the season progressed and the Indianas and Penn States kept piling up wins over one Big 10 patsie after another, not only did "strength of record" all of a sudden trump strength of schedule, but the idiot who heads the corrupt "committee" came out and flat out said it along with the two new narratives - "you can only beat who is on your schedule" and "they played and won with a Big 10 schedule". As if calling it a "Big 10 schedule" changes the fact that the conference is 3/4 patsies!

Control the narrative and repeat it over and over and over, and it becomes fact. Sports media and organizations have learned well from politics.

Why do you people get all bent out of shape over what ESPN says or thinks? And every time as well. Is this what you need?

No. I am just a fan. Born and raised in Knoxville.
