Schreiber out as ESPN ombudsman

I thought she was great and she did about a 100X better job than Solomon did.

Did ESPN listen to her? Not a word...

For the most part, the talent there is told not to pay attention to that stuff.

 

I have not watched Sportscenter in years.

ESPN News is about the most I can handle, and if I could find The Final Score (is that what it's called?) in HD, I would never watch ESPN News.

 

ESPN News is generally all I can handle as well... I used to watch ESPN several hours a day. Now I barely watch it.

 

Same here. Maybe a few minutes while I'm getting ready for work, and perhaps a few minutes when I get home from work. I'm usually on the treadmill when NFL Live is on, so I'll catch that as well. Either that or King of Queens on Tibbus.

 

If you only watch 15 minutes of Sportscenter, you are barely getting through the NYC/Boston/Dallas/Lakers crap.

At least with ESPN News, you are getting about 10 different game highlights.

 

If I don't like what's on during my few minutes of ESPN each day, I turn the channel. And, I'm a Lakers fan. I don't mind the "Lakers crap."

 

But a lot of it is just made up topics so they can talk about the Lakers. You can substitute Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys and a few other for Lakers.

Tonight on Sportscenter - Kobe's nemesis.

Story - Kobe shot 12-for-31 the last time he played the Trailblazers, so naturally, Roy is him "nemesis."

 

I'm guessing you have no interest in those teams so, uh, don't watch, I guess.

 

My teen-aged son asked about two moths ago why is every NBA game on WWL involve either the Lakers, Suns, Spurs, Celtics or Cavs? Watch the schedule they promote and he's right.

Just like in baseball. I swear, judging from ESPN, the Red Sox-Yankees play 152 games a year. And even Michael Wilbon has said, outside of the Northeast, nobody cares.

Schreiber did a great job I think.The last column is right on the mark And I'm sure completely scoffed at by the turds making the decisions.

Side note, my The Mag subscription finally ran out about three months ago -- I tried to get rid of it a year ago but they offered me something like 25 cents an issue for a year, so I caved -- but now I'm free. When they call up with new offers, I tell them, but I DON'T WANT IT, that's WHY I didn't re-up.

And I still miss Nick and Fred from CNN Sportsnight, killed off about 7-8 years ago.

 

When there is legitimate news, I will listen. But 80 percent of what they report about the Yankees for example, is fabricated crap.

 

Good column. Schreiber did a great job.
