Well there is a lot going on in sports right now. The NBA playoffs, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the NFL draft just happened and the baseball season is really underway. But, I was watching Baseball Tonight the other day, and the first three highlights they showed involved, surprise, the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets. And I timed it, they spent about 12 minutes talking about these games together. Of course they just had to talk about the "Aces" that pitched that day and break down almost every single freakin pitch. But this is where it gets really crazy. Edinson Volquez, one of the pitchers for my favorite team, the Reds, pitched against the Giants and had 10, yes 10 strikeouts. And what do you know, they spend about 2 minutes recapping that game. Then later on in the show, well they decided to go back to the F'in Yankees and talk about their rotation. So I figured they spent about 3 minutes talking about that. That's 15 minutes they spent talking about their favorite teams. And since the show only has about 45 minutes due to the commercials they spent 1/3 of the freaking show talking about them. But it's not just baseball, which is really a bad thing. If your not a Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Lakers, Pistons, Knicks, Patriots or Steelers fan you better get ready for the 10 seconds they show your team's highlights on sportscenter. Hell the Knicks aren't in the playoffs and they talk about them more than they do the Hornets or 76ers, teams who are in the playoffs and may win their series. I think this is total BS. I am seriously considering protesting against ESPN. Who's with me?

Ok.. just to start out I am a big sports fan. So I love ESPN, that includes ESPN 2, ESPNEWS, ESPN U, etc. However i have noticed that ESPN is very biased for some teams. For example, during Spring training this year.. most of the baseball games they showed involved the Red Sox.. there are other teams btw. Also yesterday (Memorial Day) I was watching the Reds game (my favorite team) and Ryan Freel was seriously injured and had to be taken of the field in an ambulance. So about a half-hour later i turn it on ESPNEWS to see if they had an update on his condition... well they didn't. But what did the little box down in the right hand corner say.. "Roger Clemens minor league start-5pm".. well you know what i have to say..who gives a sh*t.. a lot of players make minor league starts!!! if he pitches a perfect game i'd like to see that.. but he didn't.. and it's the minor leagues anyway.. BTW: I could go on and on about my dislike for Roger Clemens.. I might do that later... I think it's safe to say that ESPN is biased toward some teams, *cough* Red Sox and yankees *cough*.. thanks for reading

Some people just don't have opinions. Like skpioneer91.
skpioneer91 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could skpioneer91 possibly have for not rating a single film?
