    Of course, you're right. That was a rather simplistic reply on my part.

    But not ignorant, dammit. ;)

    Nope, Hill didn't say anything offensive about ESPN viewers or suggest that she would treat them shabbily.

    cran, that's a matter of degree, and probably the crux of the problem here. When she suggests that what her viewers have tuned in to see is not worthy of her care or attention, she IS offending them.

    Listen carefully. If she says she can't muster enough professionalism to actually do her fucking job -- which is to pretend that the Blake Bortles of the world are important -- then she is saying that she will treat ESPN viewers shabbily. They pay her to treat the Blake Bortles of the world as if they're important.

    By the way ... who the fuck is Blake Bortles?

    He is the Elrod Hendricks of NFL quarterbacks.

    I am fascinated by the rare white man who intuitively knows what white people don't understand.

    Stud QB of Central Florida when the Golden Knights were all of a sudden world beaters.

    The other shoe is going to drop on that program any day. Out of nowhere they got too good too fast.

    And with Canada making threatening moves w.r.t. NAFTA I'm supposed to care about that?

    And people say there's no audience for the 6 p.m. "SportsCenter."

    Let me know if she ever says that. She didn't.

    Currently starting QB of the Jax Jags, and not a very good one. He was the #2 or 3 pick a few years ago.

    "... how can I care about the Blake Bortles of the world ...?"

    You're on an island on this one, but have fun there buckaroo.
