Who the hell is watching someone play video games?

I watch football and hockey because I can't actually do those things, whereas I can actually play video games. Might as well be watching a video of a guy walking down the street.

Yea man how do you even get into playing hockey is there a secret club or something?

I don't think we're as far apart as you indicated. We both agree that "all sugar and no substance" is tiresome. I just think it's unfair to pin it on 2 people who are overtly performing caricatures when there are others who are much more culpable. I'd rather point the finger at the Mitch Alboms and Rick Reillys of the world. They are idiots who actually believe their awful work is of merit. I'd also blame the people at ESPN who decided that showing actual sports isn't nearly as good as another outside the lines. As much as I loved watching some early 30 for 30s like The U, do we really need a 6 part movie about OJ? You can hate Skip and SAS all you want, but at worst they are symptoms, not the cause, of bad sports broadcasting.

But sometimes Outside The LInes does actual reporting?

So I saw a WIP retweet of some other guy on the afternoon block and wondered if Innes finally got shitcanned (I'm not in the Philly area and haven't listened to WIP for a while) and lo and behold, he did.

Thank god. Kinda funny that this is what caused it, but he's finally gone!!

Didn't one of the sports agencies found a high school in Florida for the sole purpose of being an athletic factory?

I think they took their inspiration from Bolletieri's tennis academy (who they bought), and he might have been inspired by soccer academies in europe but I don't know i'm a moron and im just guessing.

Is this just the media mad that they don't get to report on a bunch of rumors? People are actually mad the guy wants to negotiate in private instead of out in the open?

Yes.
