Things said on ESPN (and other media outlets) that make you sick.

[wdleehi]

I figure this happens enough we could start putting together a list.




For example, this morning, since four Lakers scored in double digits, they called them the "Big 4".



Really? 


Has Bynum done anything to be considered big anything?  Hasn't Artest talent slide from the fringe all-star days?




OK, rant over. 

[Donoghus]

Anything that comes out of Tom Jackson's mouth.


Same can be said for Skip Bayless, Merrill Hoge, Cris Carter, Stuart Scott, Tony Kornheiser, the entire Around the Horn cast, Jamele Hill, and Mike Tirico.

I'm sure there are plenty more that I'm forgetting at the moment. 

[Eja117]

Yes. Skip Bayless. Ew.  The Rush Limbaugh of ESPN.  You know what I mean.

I have still to come to terms with ESPN's Heat Index. I don't how you can do something like that and still consider yourself a fair and completely unbiased sports network. Hmmm, maybe they don't. After all, they created LeBron. They hyped him. I actually feel bad that I can't root for him because he is such a special player. But I just can't. Never will. My God, I hope he never wins a championship, solely because of that Heat Index.

Ah, that was actually good.

Come to think of it I don't think they ever said they were fair or unbiased. Possibly because they aren't

Says a lot that a couple of Celtic fans can't stand Skip Bayless, considering he seems as high on them these days as any sports analyst out there. I'm personally a fan. What do you guys have against him?

Anyways, I don't have anyone that I particularly hate. I do hate when the Celtics are always called old, though.

Well, then, at least they're being "honest".

Try listening to the NBATV guys in Atlanta sometimes.

Pretty much everything.  The guy's a moron.  He takes the contrarian position on every single item.  Makes the most ridiculous arguments and just comes across as a real buffoon.  Thinks he knows it all when he really doesn't.

Lol bro, are you actually going there? Bynum is no Olajawon or Shaq, but he's a decent to good true center with great size, in a league where there are few. It's not a question of if he's good, it's if he is healthy, which he has not been. Also, not saying he's not injury prone, but a lot of his injuries have been people falling on his knee, etc.

I watch games on ILP and I really liked the Jazz commentators yesterday. They were fairly unbiased and had a lot of nice words to say about our team. Plus they were right on the money when they talked about the Jazz and their recent struggles, what they were missing in their game as of late and so on.

[KobeShesNotConsenting!]

I cant stand how they ride the Heat's jocks all the time and when they call him King James, and theyre serious about it. That's probably the worst thing to me. Also Most ESPN bball people like Jalen, Skip, and Chris Broussard are favorin the celtics right now so im all for em.

[BballTim]

  Watching LeBron, on a break, near the top of the key, throwing a chest pass to a teammate running about 10 feet from him with no defenders in between them. Hearing the announcers claim that LeBron pass was "just like ones Magic used to make".

[CelticSooner]

Skip Bayless is second to none in the annoying department at ESPN. There has to be reason for everything with that guy. He'll knick pick anyone to death.

Chris Broussard's love affair with the Heat. I wish someone could just wake him up and tell him it's only the regular season.

He is an overhyped average C that is hurt a lot.  He has done nothing that warrants any connection to the level of play of the only Big 3.
