Dear ESPN,
Thank you so much ESPN, for perpetuating the notion that the frontrunner always wins, and the dogs are always going to get blown out. I appreciate that your many analysts talk so much about top teams, in any sport, that they become instantly overrated, which allow for lines that are off and great value on underdog moneylines. Also, thank you for airing unimportant games that a major network would not be caught dead airing (except for NBC, poor schmucks have to air all those Notre Dame games) I know that when I turn the channel to ESPN, I will be entertained with people shouting mindlessly at one another with no actual evidence to support their claims (ie Skip Bayless who is described as: "The man is pure evil and would boo at the Special Olympics.") The mass sensationalism that occurs at your network turns every injury into career ending, and every game into the greatest game ever.

Again thank you and please continue doing what you do.

Love,
DeluxeLiner

Excellent post, DL

I watch ESPN so little these days unless it's an actual game I want to see, and even then most of the time I activate the MUTE button. They also showed their true, childish colors during the first two rounds of the MLB postseason on their schedule page. They have been pouting since last October when they lost out on some of the games to the new TBS contract, so any game that was on TBS this postseasn, they didn't list them in the NAT TV column on that page.
