Breaking News: ESPN Stinks

[kepdawg]

The Yankees and their out of this world payroll have put up 20 runs against the lowly Devil Rays while allowing 11 and ESPN feels the need to put this as "breaking news" on the website. ESPN has gone way down hill the past few years!

It's even funnier how they try and market 'big news'...

I remember the All-Star game earlier this year, Kobe started for the West and Shaq started for the East... I remember it was a big deal before the game as to whether or not Kobe and Shaq would shake hands before the game... they didn't...

Then a month later Miami and L.A. were hooking up for their first game of the year and the night before the game Sportscenter did this big deal on 'How will Kobe and Shaq act before, during and after their first match-up since being teammates' or something to that effect... it was also a big deal about 'will they shake hands' etc... month old news...

That was just about lame...

Well, they've removed the "breaking news" header now. Maybe somebody from Bristol saw my post and decided to change it.

The game was not just a 20-11 romp..the Yanks came back from a 7-0 deficit, score 13 runs in the 8th,,TO me that is breaking news of sorts.

The Yankees scoring a bunch of runs in one inning of a regular season game isn't breaking news unless it was done by means of rare or historical events. The only problem I had was the "breaking news" header. When I see that I expect to see just that, breaking news, not an normal MLB offensive explosion. Since the header was only in place for a shirt time, I would assume someone in Bristol came to their senses and agreed with me.

The 17-run turnaround matched the largest victory after trailing by eight runs in major league history..kinda rare..would you agree?
