peter gammons leaves espn

gammons is leaving espn for the mlb network. and although i have done little to no research on the topic, i bet he's leaving espn because espn fucking sucks.
on the mlb network, he can report on exactly what he wants...contracts, player development, etc.
instead on having to report on who barry bonds is bouncing on his dick or what club a-rod was spotted at in nyc last night.
i group espn in the same category with all the other major news networks. they are all terrible. we get our news from bbc, blogs, and the daily show.
there has been somewhat of a media merry-go-round lately.
diane sawyer's leaving GMA.
dan rather is now doing real journalism for HDnet. it's not that he wasn't doing anything important before, he just knew that he couldn't be a real influence in the media from behind a major news network's desk.
i know about his scandal, but that might have been the best thing to ever happen to his career. it gave him an out. and now he is doing something real.
now, he's doing INSPIRATIONAL journalism. the type of reporting that makes people pay attention. the stuff he's doing on afghanistan is remarkable, truly.
i don't want this to get twisted into anyone thinking i think i could do a better job, since i'm a "journalist". but, there has been and is a major problem with our media.
tiger woods....god damn it, tiger woods.
balloon boy...
runaway bride...
get real america.
espn is just as bad as the other networks. it's shocking how much they've turned in my lifetime.
it's the same 180 that mtv made.
wasn't espn supposed to be about sports?
mtv about music?
cnn about.....something???ANYthing??
now it's all touch-screen tvs and graphs and sensationalized bullshit that people only watch because they don't have to read it in tabloids anymore because the easier thing to do is sit back and watch the tabloids on television.
our nations best journalists are all leaving their posts at the high-ranking media outlets because, they are smart, and they know that their talent is being completely wasted.
i read on the cnn bottom line today that tiger woods is cutting someone a check to not release some nude photos of him. where the fuck is this coming from?
who cares?!
i mean, i would totally check out the pix if they got released.
this column could have been reduced to two words: tiger woods.
i think this audience would be able to grasp the intention from those two words alone.
i mean, is it possible that gammons is leaving espn just to get away from tiger woods talk?
