The Gooch Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 ESPN has become like the E! and TMZ of the sports world. They overanalyze every small aspect of anything that even has potential to be controversial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) Ok ESPN, we get it, Ozzie has a twitter. I know. Mike Greenberg was such a spaz this morning, and then the PTI guys today were making a big f***ing deal about it (Ozzie actually sent a shout out to Wilbon, but...). It's no big deal, and Ozzie isn't as wacky and crazy as you always portray him to be. Shut up about it, and do another stupid story about Tim Tebow's nonexistent NFL career. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they probably don't, it's probably a virus that travels through ESPN, but they sure act like it's an orchestration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome, Around the Horn, and PTI all talk about exactly the same things (with the exception of Rome occasionally going off track and talking about some original subjects), and then they usually open Sportscenter with the same topics! I actually like most of the personalities on those shows (with Jay Mariotti being an exception) but they could vary the topics a little bit.

103 mph screwball Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Which is the best iPhone app to use Twitter? Try Echofon first. (there is a free and a pro version) I've used the free version for over a year and it does everything I need it to do. If all you have is one account and want to read what Ozzie, Merkin, and Teahen have to say, Echofon free should do the job. If that doesn't do enough for your needs, then I agree with the previously mentioned twitterific because I've heard good things about it.

Like remember that WHO'S NOW contest with T.I's Big Thangs Poppin' blaring in the background? ESPN radio 1000 is garbage as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 "Looking for tickets to go to wrestlemania, I need help with that, they r way too expensive about 17 hours ago via web " He should probably ask A.J.

If he gave you some White Sox stuff, that would be different. These guys are always talking about their privacy, in fact, Ozzie said himself the TV show will not be allowed to film at his home, yet throw crap like this out there only to fuel the flames of the people wanting more. He's going to wind up with probably over 100k followers, and probably at least 15k will actually think Ozzie is their buddy. I predict he grows tired of the whole thing and bags it at some point during the season. Edited February 28, 2010 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
