    1. Agreed.

    2. I think it’s more “they act like they’re comedians or movie stars, and they’re not.”

    I watch the game highlights in the morning and mute the tv because of your number two.

    Once all the debate shows come on, I go elsewhere.

    I’m so sick of hearing about how great Olbermann used to be. Everybody down there in Bristol needs to get over it already. Led Zeppelin was great 40 years ago too, you gonna have them headline the Lollapalooza?

    How many ESPN executives does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    Seven — one to hold the ladder, one to stand on the ladder, and five to stand around and evangelize about how unbelievably awesome the new lightbulb is gonna be once Olbermann comes back to save the day

    I actually preferred the 30 min. ESPN News show that they dumped.

    The real comparison is "Well, Zeppelin was great. Let's play Puddle of Mud and Nickelback now. I mean it's guitars and drums, it ought to work, right?"

    Just read the Ringer piece and I can't decide if I find Joe Tessitore insufferable or not.

    The debate shows drove me away 10-12 years ago. Haven't been back since. Don't miss it a bit either.

    Oh hell yes. That might be the one thing that would get me to buy tickets to the current incarnation of Lollapalooza.
