I ended up turning it off by halftime. The game was ungodly boring and the announcers rah rah sis boom bah Non stop chatter about the city was totally annoying. If there hadn't been a bunch of people running around on the screen I would have never known there was a football game going on.

Note to ESPN, you are there to announce the action going on on the field, not be a 3 hour cheerleading political ad for the city of New Orleans.

"Note to ESPN, you are there to announce the action going on on the field, not be a 3 hour cheerleading political ad for the city of New Orleans."

Amen. And it's doesn't stop there--ESPN has gotten more and more "involved" politically for a while now. CNN had a roundtable of sorts with 4 radio talk show hosts a week or two ago that I flipped by that had some ESPN pundit moaning about the war in Iraq.

I agree. I actually ended up watching the game with the mute button on. The Monday night team is terrible. I was rooting for NO but the human interest was getting old. I also get tired of hearing how no other QB in the league could/couldn't have done what Vick was doing. God its been 5 years and announcers are still making excuses for this guy. Annoying.
