Interesting interview with Dough Gottlieb about how ESPN has tried shoving Tebow down our throats, and actually tells on-air talent to mention him as much as possible. Doug seems to think ESPN has lost its credibility. I agree.

I had ESPN on last night for the Sugar Bowl and turned off the TV without changing channels. I wake up this morning and switch it on to see Jesse "The Bachelor" Palmer breaking down in detail how the choice of hotel could affect the game for each team. :fp:

A couple hours after Joe Flacco signed his new six-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens that made him the highest paid player by average annual value in NFL history, he pulled into a restaurant to celebrate.
Sherry NormanAfter signing a contract that gives him a $29 million bonus and $52 million guaranteed, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco celebrated like anyone would -- with a 10-piece McNuggets meal.
Armed with a $29 million signing bonus and the promise of a total of $52 million guaranteed over the life of the contract, Flacco rolled down his window at the McDonald's drive thru in Aberdeen, Md., after ordering a 10-piece McNugget meal, with fries and an unsweetened iced tea for $6.99.
Sherry Norman, a diehard Ravens fan, glanced at the profile of what she thought looked remarkably like the guy that had just signed a huge contract at the Ravens facility about 40 miles from the McDonald's and in the direction of Flacco's New Jersey home.
"I kept saying to the people I work with, 'Doesn't that look like Joe Flacco?,' " Norman said. "And then he turned towards the window and it was him."
Norman asked the customer if he was indeed the Ravens quarterback and when he confirmed he was, Norman asked to take a picture. Flacco obliged as Norman snapped the shot and thanked him for a great season.
Flacco's stop continues the tradition of drive thru surprises in sports. After Jeff Van Gundy signed a two-year extension in 1996 to be the head coach of the New York Knicks, he was recognized at a McDonald's rolling up in his Honda Civic.
The morning after winning the 2010 Masters, Phil Mickelson ordered doughnuts at the Krispy Kreme in Augusta, Ga., and was photographed sitting in his car in the green jacket he had just won.
Shame on you ESPN. You didn't even tell us what kind of sauce he got. And they call themselves journalists.
They only do that for Tebow.

If it wasn't for college basketball, I would never watch it.
Even that sucks, when Vitale is anywhere close to a game. That dude's schtick was cool for about 5 minutes in 1989. He's such a biased douche bag, even without his annoying voice, he'd be awful.
I find these two statements interesting
ESPN is laying off nearly 400 employees as it seeks to improve profitability, the company confirmed.
The company does not disclose financials but its annual revenue is estimated to exceed $8 billion.

ESPN mentions Tebow almost as much as Dan Patrick mentions how he's friends with Adam Sandler.

He's like a terrible prick character from a s
Ayn Rand novel brought to life and given a microphone.
sums the guy up perfectly...yet i still follow...morbid curiosity i guess
clearly this darren rovell character banged that writer's girlfriend at some point.
I dont know why I still follow that dope. Some stuff he tweets is interesting, but most of it is a bunch of garbage.
Joe Flacco has post-deal McNuggets

Actual games are pretty much the only thing I watch. Occasionally I'll check out Around The Horn or PTI, but that's about it.
Even that sucks, when Vitale is anywhere close to a game. That dude's schtick was cool for about 5 minutes in 1989. He's such a biased douche bag, even without his annoying voice, he'd be awful.
The Bulls won the game tonight. You may want to mention them in your coverage of the game. Lebron is great but bring it down it a bit.
Also, you suck.
