Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | ESPN, which stands for the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, was the USA's first 24-hour sports network, and as a network dedicated solely to the sports fan, they have never interrupted a game for regularly scheduled programming, interrupted a playoff game for pre-race coverage of the Kentucky Derby, or carried multiple games at the same time while blacking out every out-of-market game being played at the time, regardless of whether or not it was one of the games they were carrying. They do, however, shamelessly shill for the superstar athletes, including breaking into coverage in order to show live look-ins at Barry Bonds's at-bats when he was chasing Hank Aaron's record, doing the same thing with Manny Ramirez's rehab appearances in the minors when coming back from a 50-game suspension for PED use, actively televising Roger Clemens's minor league rehab starts when he decided to un-retire midseason, and letting LeBron James spend an hour telling us which team he'll play for in the next year, something done by every other athlete and team via a one-page press release. They are often accused of being biased towards teams from certain regions--usually the Boston and New York teams, perhaps understandable due to their Connecticut home (a common nickname for ESPN is the Eastern Sports Promotion Network), but also the L.A. Dodgers, the L.A. Lakers, USC, the Cubs, the Heat, and whatever team Brett Favre decided to play for. But enough snark; we have Uncyclopedia for that. |
