    ESPN is 24 hours.. sometimes they slip up or misspell something. It ain't that serious. 1st round. 2nd round... no one cares but us.

    Now if the story is ABOUT 1st round picks... or if they said Bell went to Ohio State I can see the point.

    I don't think it's that serious though...
    ESPN is a joke anymore. First Take, Sunday Countdown, etc. The network is good at marketing but the coverage is pathetic most the time.

        NFL Matchup was a good show with actual football X's and O's content instead of talking heads just screaming drivel at each other. Of course, ESPN moved NFL matchup to 3:30 a.m. time slots.
        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          I still like a lot of ESPN, but I don't care about Sports Center, and haven't for a decade. First Take is an entertaining show, but mostly only if you have it on DVR, because they spend way to long on each topic, trying to fill the lengthy 2.5 hours they usually air per day. Oh, and if the subject is on racism (Don Sterling), or gay bashing (Sam) then you REALLY need to use that fast forward button. I still like Mike and Mike to a degree but only watch them occasionally. I think the whole franchise suffered when they still had the same old man running it, and he was clearly out of touch. Remember "Cold Pizza" and ESPN the Duce?" They tried desperately to be "cool" and they were so not any where close.

            ESPN still has the most credible NFL coverage; the cackling fools on FOX, CBS and - to a lesser degree - NFLN just blather on with loud laughter. Boomer, Tom Jackson and the boys are still the best at making credible points. Sapp is a jackass. Bradshaw a loon. And for former players, most possess such little knowledge.

              It was just a case of out-of-control emotion. And what was worse was his follow up rampage where he wanted to fight 100 people. But as I watched it, I thought to myself, "Not really cool, but a sign that this guy has a fire in the belly." I wanted Pgh to draft him. But they finally landed him 5 years later.

                I don't like the smug former newspaper reporters who get turned into talking heads on TV and just try to garner attention to themselves by giving contrarian points of view. Basically, Skip Bayless types, but it seems like there are more of these fools popping up all the time.

                  I actually like Skip. Yes, he stirs the pot to get ratings, but that's his job. I am OK with it. I like when people have the stones to be opinionated, even if they are wrong sometimes. Skip cracks me up. But that doesn't mean I like all the pencil necks attempting to do the same, but lack vision to do so.

                    Why does this not surprise me?
                    As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

                    but Go Steelers!!!

                          Skip is funny... but he is also a trollish butthole who says stuff he knows damn well he doesn't believe.

                                This always confused me, because it is not a pound sign.
