ESPN Biased?

[RollTideMustang]

Have you ever watch ESPN & noticed how Biased they are? Ok. Alabama #1 they are not even near mention about Alabama. I noticed & counted the replay clips Alabama has about 3-4 to others 6-8. ESPN are so into USC,Oklahoma,Stanford,Oregon & Ohio St.


Another example the ESPN sports commentators brag about Tenn. QB Bray of his stats 60% passing & yards. Now this made me laugh.

His stats that night Bray 13/27 184yds 2 Int's. VS McCarron 17/22 306yds 4TD's at Tenn. Home. Alabama rolled 539yds at Tenn. Home Field.

ESPN only mention is McCarron so many passes & no Int's that is after ESPN brag about Bray's Stats.

I always laugh at the Sports Commentators when they make a total fool out of them selves.

Have you noticed what Sports Commentators do? Vent it.

I wish there was an alternative to ESPN but face it they cover college football better than anyone.

Last nights game we lucked out, Blackledge & Nessler are the very Best in the business. Reese Davis, & Curt Herbstriet LOVE Alabama. I quit listening to anything out of Holtz mouth a decade ago.

Baiscally Bama is not a good story for them now they like the what if's & yeah but's however it is just so clear Albama is the Best team in the country.

What I find interesting is that EVERYONE from any other conference thinks the ESPN bias is skewed in favor of Bama and the rest of the SEC. It's really laughable...

 

[jdatide]

Stop trolling. I don't know what else espn commentators can do. They all agree BAMA is the best team in the nation. They admit they are nitpicking when they point out flaws of the team. I watched espn coverage of the game last night and College Football Final this morning and I didn't feel like we were slighted in the least. Amari Cooper got a helmet sticker. Rece Davis said "Alabama pretty much sucks the drama out of almost every game." Move to tejas...watch longhorn network.

i dont know. i see plenty of Bama love on Espn. Even during the week Bama gets talked about. One of the lead guys on the network, Rece Davis is a Bama grad and he always talks up the Tide.

they have Barret Jones on CFD every week, they let Nick Saban talk through a commercial break, they follow our players at practice for a whole off season and televise it. Mark May heads up the Ingram for Heismann campaign and no fewer than 2 of their anchors are alabama naitves and huge bama fans (Davis and Grisham). if anything they are bias for us, but we're not the only program in football you know.

Could it be that when a team plays and wins as Bama has done this year, that kind of winning for Bama becomes 'ordinary'. No surprises here, folks! Nothing new to see, move along...move along. You wait and see what happens should Bama lose a game, you'll see plenty of reporting then. And the whole nation will rejoice...BAMA LOSES....YAAAAYYYY! Bank on it. Hopefully, those folks will have to wait a long time before that happens, and I will happily embrace each and every victory until it does. Roll Tsunami, Roll! :biggrin:

Basically, we have no drama. ESPN wants the ratings. If you only talked about Bama then you would lose those other viewers. They know Bama fans will always watch, because it is all about college football here.

They have the BCSCG this year again, I think. Best thing for them is to have it be Alabama/Oregon or USC. The ratings would be huge.

Also, they had Saban on the BCS countdown show last week.

 

[RollTideMustang]

Ok. After the game on ESPN about an hour later they finally got Alabama on there.

We really are a boring story for the media. We were expected to be good, we're better than expected, and frankly, our games are boring for the non-BAMA fan.

That said, I'm comfortable with the coverage.

Yes! There is a huge "Liberal" media conspiracy against the Crimson Tide, Coca-Cola and Golden Flake Potato Chips! They never pay any attention to Alabama unless they get beat! I could cry.....

Seriously? This is the "Black Helicopter" thread of the day!

I totally agree with that when we lose be a huge story line for them...

What? Now they are after our potato chips? It's on now!!!!

I thought the coverage of the game was great last night except for a few comments. Blackledge at one point said something along the lines of "I'm not sure there's any 1st round NFL talent on this defense but they just keep getting the job done."


WHAT? Seriously? Todd, how in the world could you say that with a straight face?

I guess he forgot that Dee Milliner was on our team and getting all the love from the draft experts. And Mosley on some projections.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

We are methodical. We aren't flashy. We don't drive the viewers for them. They know who's number one, we just don't give them anything to talk about because how we go about our business. I don't care about it as long as we are on top.

 

[BigBama76]

I think we get plenty of "love", just not as much as some of us crave some times. Herbstreit and others kept pushing us in 2010 even after two losses.

 

[DiamondDust]

The narrative right now isn't, "Who is #1". Everyone in the country basically agrees on that. The narrative is, "Who is #2" as there is a logjam there with a group of teams with a legit claim to that designation.

And with good reason. We demolished the co Big 10 champs in our bowl game. And I mean skull drug them. Nobody wanted any part of us by season's end. The highest bidders and $cam escaped by the skin of their teeth. We lost 3 games that year because of complacency. That is exactly what we have avoided so far this year. I am relatively happy with the coverage, though.

As far as Herbstreit, I have to give him credit most of the time. He was the only man I know that picked the barn in preseason to win the SEC in 2010. When he said it, I gave him a better chance of hitting the lottery 12 drawings in a row than being right about that.
