Heat Index

Roethlisberger has never sniffed 1/100th the fame LeBron has. The comparison isn't a fair one. LeBron is on the Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods level so the fall from that tier is a very large one.

Acting like a douche = Being a dick.
Being a criminal = Being a criminal.

So, no he's not on the level of the wife beaters/rapists/murderers of the sports world, but he has made quite the fall from the tier where he was.

 

A list of Heat Index's feature. The lead tells you all you need to know.

"ESPN is single-handedly making sure you despise the Miami Heat this season."

I consider Windhorst the best beat writer in the NBA, but did anyone not think he wouldn't be involved with LeBron somehow, someway, no matter where he went?

 

You are dreaming. ESPN's business model is impenetrable. And your estimate is WAY high. Live sports, PTI, OTL, NFL Live -- that's a pretty big chunk of their day. And that's quality programming.

 

Exactly. My favorite part of "Dazed and Confused" is Matthew McConaughey's line, "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age." That is ESPN's business model. By the time you're 25 and sick and tired of all the bullshit, some 18-year-old is arriving on a college campus to replace you for the next six years, and he thinks it's new and fresh. As long as 18- to 24-year-old men exist, ESPN is going to be just fine.

 

ESPN will be fine because there's nothing else. On the Internet there is, and I much prefer CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports and SI.com to ESPN.com. But from a TV standpoint, there's really no other place to go to get scores and highlights.

 

ESPN does a great job with College Football Gameday and NFL Gameday. The 30 for 30 series has been outstanding. Outside the Lines, The Sports Reporters are all great as well.

 

How many people here watch the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB Networks more and ESPN less?

ESPN does a better product on NFL games? I am listening to Gruden as I type this.

Any coorperation can fall. The last three years should have taught us that.

 

Damn, I hope State Farm fucks them UP this year.

 

Nationwide mother fuckers. Nationwide.
