THE RETURN OF ‘THE BREAKFAST BLEND’
To anyone that originally read The Breakfast Blend and its short-lived existence I have good news; the Breakfast Blend is making a comeback!
For my first posting I thought I would cover a very important, highly controversial subject: Brett Favre. More specifically ESPN’s coverage of Brett Favre.
You see, the Favre saga is certainly one of intrigue and mystery, ripe for the likes of the ESPN bobos that like to camp out at Winter Park waiting for something…..ANYTHING to happen.
Last year ESPN’s Rachel Nichols spent nearly an entire summer hiding in the bushes and camped out in a RV just waiting for the slightest hint of a story.
This year will most assuredly be no different. Earlier this week Chilly (Vikings head coach Brad Childress) went to visit Favre in Mississippi at a football camp and ESPN covered the story as though the Pope had just died.
When did professional broadcast journalism die? When did reputable television stations like NBC, ABC, ESPN and FOX take the plunge into the putrid cesspool of reporting on pure speculation in tabloid-like fashion?
ESPN these days seems more like TMZ than a legitimate sports broadcasting entity. Did anyone watch ESPN the day of and days following the passing of George Steinbrenner? With Steinbrenner it begs the question: How much is too much?
ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN Classic, ESPN University, ESPN 3, ESPN.com, ESPN Radio. Where do all these people come from that ESPN can justify and support all of these entities?
Your comments are welcome.
