Kornheiser just wouldn't leave it alone . . . alone . . . alone . . .
Tony didn't care if he was echo-chambering, he just kept at it all the while there was---surprise!---some kind of football game going on around there somewhere.
Hate to have it be about race, but that's what they've done..........Something like 32 percent of the population in New Orleans was white, and yet something like 44 percent of the deaths were white. My problem is not with black people. My problem is with the media. They made it look like virtually all of the deaths were minorities, thus to fit with their agenda - that Bush didn't care if blacks died......Many of the poor black countries in Africa say Bush is one of the best friends they've had. He's done much for them in various kinds of support, for instance, spending more on battling aids in Africa than any president ever. Media doesn't tell you that.........By the way, has anybody ever seen a poorer excuse for a channel than what ESPN "Classic" has become? They have access to such great stuff covering virtually the entire 1900's, and yet we keep seeing stuff like poker, Arliss, Cheap Seats, etc. Pathetic.
Oh, yeah, the Rats and Libs at espn couldn't pass up the opportunity to try to say "it's Bush's fault" a thousand different ways.
They can't be trusted to do what's right for a football game, who would trust them with the country?
So everybody who hated the coverage should let espn know about it.
To be honest I think the Spike Lee was the only bad moment I have seen today. I think the coverage has been great. Plus this coverage is alot about the fans too that love the Saints and how important they are to us the city and the state.
On a side note they had a nice interview with President Bush Sr before the game. Real classy
Well, it may have been one moment, but it was such a bad moment I had to turn the game off.
I don't like my football that way.
good post!
kornheiser is a wild lib. He pissed off millions tonight. Spike Lee is no better than Michael Moore. ESPN screwed up.
I have to agree. The coverage, aside from the Spike Lee stuff, has been great. I'm enjoying the game, havin an Abita Amber, and witnessing the debut of the the first-ever New Orleans Saints defensive line!
Break a leg, Joe!
So true. This has been a great game. I have been feeling better about the Saints every week.
I think the Saints to a certain degree the Saints are playing off emotion, the crowd and the whole significance of the game but I think it is more than that.
I think maybe this year the Saints are maybe just maybe good lol
The commentary was a tidal wave of sycophantic brown nosing. Carpetbagger disaster entrepreneur, Spike Lee was as nauseating as you could possibly expect.
And, much the worst of all, Mike Vick and the Falcons couldn't have been more obvious if they had worn flippers, masks and snorkles onto the field. I could see the splash from their dive from my motel room in Amarillo. The game should have been sponsored by the WWF. Someone should nominate the Falcons for an Academy Award.
The very least which the Falcons and Saints organizations owed everyone was an honest game. We didn't get one. What we were watching was a moronic and tawdry morality play presided over by a committee of fools in the broadcast booth. Will tonight go down in history as the night NFL football jumped the shark? I believe it has in my book.
I remember when MNF showed football
"Why-Hasn't-Bush-Fixed-New-Orleans telethon."
Though I only saw bits and pieces of it, that's the way it seemed to me.
Lol. Agree. Theismann is terrible, but Kornhole is beyond stupid. He's trying to be Howard Cosell, without the brains.
True, and the little bit that they featured Harry Connick, Jr., he was positive---but why no Emeril, or ANY entrepreneurs who really create jobs?
I thought for all their hype, as long as they were obsessing over race, they might have noted that 90% of those in the Super Dome were white. If someone is "going to bring NO back," is it the majority of poor blacks who didn't even have insurance?
Disagree. I thought it sucked. Besides pulling for the Saints to win, it was one extended Bush bash. I just don't see how a major city, whose "main" thing is a football team, has any hope. (Case in point: Green Bay. They support the team, but what else does the city do?)
Yeah, and all the sappy questions about "what do sports mean to this city" and the sappy answers, "sports inspire"---or Spike's gem, "you escape for a few hours with a football game, then you go back to your FEMA trailor. It's not nice."
I thought I was watching a Miss America Pageant from 30 years ago, with the contestants vying to say the most inane drivel ever printed on a Hallmark card.
