I get it, I do, ESPN has to have a story, an angle. If they don't they come off bland and boring, and that other national sports superstation will replace them if they don't.
All I ask is, don't play the general public off as stupid. Don't tell us one week that Tim Tebow is the next best thing, then when he is promoted to starter tell us how he will fail. Don't tell us Jay Cutler is a horrible Quarter Back, then after a prime time game say he is really good just running for his life.
Like I said, I understand needing to have an opinion, and able to tell stories. I just don't like how they keep bouncing back and forth. Tell it like it is, all the time. ESPN was created as a news outlet for sports, you don't see your 10 o'clock news anchor bouncing back and forth on the headlines, so you shouldn't either Chris Berman.
I like most of what ESPN tosses out to its viewers, but I don't like their position to make everyone think the way they do. Hopefully someone over there at the mothership will figure out their viewers are a bit smarter than they have thought they were, before someone else gives their viewers another look.
Almost every on air talent at ESPN changes their views on things week to week, day to day. It almost like they think will ever get the most people to agree is the way they go.
