The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
ESPN is filled with cucks.

Also its funny in retrospect how their short lived Barstool partnership blew up. I mean for god sake Barstool has an instagram account called Barstool Smokeshows and Old Row is alt-right party time.

There should never have been a partnership. If they wanted PMT, they should've bought those guys and made them their own.

this is literally a no-win situation for ESPN; if they don't suspend her they get yelled at by conservative assholes for not suspending her and by everyone else for not suspending the white lady when they suspended the black lady. if they do suspend her, they will continue to get yelled at by conservative assholes for some other thing because culture war bullshit is how they work and they'll get yelled at by everyone else because suspending someone for calling Donald Trump, noted Stupid Person, a stupid person is really loving stupid.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

This is definitely over the top.

I don't know if teams gave out too many credentials and are trying to scale back or something but it just seems like I keep hearing stories of teams trying to pull credentials for the flimsiest of excuses.

What was it that Mark Cuban tried to yank credentials over a while back? At least I think it was Cuban, I only vaguely remember the story.

Cuban pulled the credentials of ESPN because they stopped having a dedicated reporter for Mavs coverage and he wanted to make a point avout how ESPN was automating coverage via the AP.

He yanked media credentials from everyone at ESPN because he was mad about them changing the way they covered the team. Apparently it's an outage that they didn't dedicate one of their best reporters solely to one of the least interesting teams in the league. I know, I'm shocked that mark cuban was an idiot baby too

The LaVar stuff is really obnoxious but there are lot of people in the NBA who seen to think ESPN should be state media for the league

So holy hell, Bama/Georgia did massive numbers.

quote:

Alabama's thrilling national football championship victory over Georgia drew 28.4 million viewers to ESPN on Monday night, the Nielsen company said.

It was second only to the Ohio State-Oregon championship game in 2015 as the most-watched telecast ever on cable television, the company said. The game ended in overtime with a sudden-death touchdown for the Tide.

The week before, the Georgia-Oklahoma college football semi-final was a more popular television event than the much-anticipated game between Clemson and Alabama. Nielsen said that a little more than 26 million people watched the Georgia-Oklahoma game on ESPN on New Year's Day. It was a more competitive game than Alabama-Clemson, wihch reached 20.6 million.

There was a lot of thought that ratings would be down since it was an all-SEC game.

I think people kinda lazily assumed that because LSU/Bama did a bad number this would too, but this was different because it wasn't a rematch of an awful game from earlier in the year.

Because it represents a perfect cycle of ratings and clicks. Putting him on TV gets eyes. Talking about him on TV gets eyes. Reacting to him gets eyes. Talking about reactions to him gets eyes. Eventually he shows up again to do another outrageous claim and the cycle continues.

poo poo, the last cycle barely even involves him. He said some otherwise ignorable poo poo about Luke Walton, a few NBA coaches suggested both Bell and ESPN gently caress off, and now ESPN turned it into some embrace debate crap about Freedom of the Press.
