Klatt is 100% correct. And even though he doesn’t cite quality of the broadcasts as a reason, he should’ve included that, too.

This crew, and the 1-2 punch of Disney producers and talent agents who pull their strings, are now the most malign influence on college football, right when the so-called “guardrails” have been weakened. It’s nice to see them getting soaked before one of their prized TV properties gets crushed.

In two years of the expanded playoff, the SEC is now 3-5 when not playing another SEC team. The three wins are over Tulane, Clemson and Arizona State. The five losses included three curb-stompings and a pathetic 10-3 loss at home (plus Texas’ close loss to OSU).

Is there any update on the College Football Enquirer? That would be a great forum for a discussion of the Michigan story (along with everything else going on)!

How many enjoyable basketball experts did ESPN fire in order to back up the money truck for the abominable Stephen A. Smith?

To him, NBA games are about which team:
“shows up”
“answers the call”
“sets the tone”
“shows some urgency”
“is efficient on offense”
There’s no actual content. Nothing about the matchups, strategies, coaching decisions or differences from game-to-game. The ESPN studio show is useless.

I don’t dislike Silver, but he should have to stay home and watch these dreadful broadcasts of the finals on ABC/ESPN.

Nothing good happened to this franchise before Dan Rooney, and not much good had happened since he left for Ireland and later passed. But this is a new low for the franchise and a terribly wrong turn for the clown car being driven by Rooney II, Tomlin and Khan.

ESPN should hire some consultants to figure out why the TNT show was so good and why their show is so dreadful.

There’s no plan or strategy. They’re just lashing out at any university that admitted and graduated Barack Obama.

There was more than one single reason, but to me one stood out: We needed Eric Dobson vs. that zone.

This is awesome news, although I wonder a little about having 2 point guards in the starting lineup again.

None of these critics is addressing the reports of how bad Sanders’ interviews with NFL teams went. (I never expect much from the “take” industry, and their “take” on this one won’t change that.)

I’ll miss “Okay, Pierre,” or whatever he said at the end of those in-game interviews. I won’t miss the favoritism he showed or the doghouse he kept. Or the recent results, for that matter. Especially all the 3rd period collapses.
