IrishEnvy mentioned in ESPN Insider - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

What is the story with the Irish Brogue website? I know we don't want to bash other sites here. And I really hope I don't offend anyone here, but, who ever writes for that site has some pretty outlandish predictions/information on the pulse of ND football and recruiting. I end it there. If I'm allowed, I'll elaborate.

Congrats on the name drop, and I hope it sends more people this board's way, but this site, from what I've seen (and this is why I registered here, though I read several ND boards), could not be any less ESPNized, and should be proud of it. Most other sports forums, even ND forums, are just ESPN-style shouting matches (only typed) with a minimum of real discussion, and no real points being made. This board, right now, has a higher level of discourse, and if anything should look down on ESPN, an entity that's gone a long way toward ruining sports, and has all but killed real sports journalism.

I dislike ESPN more than kickers.

Punters are okay. They're part of the defense. But kickers?

The ginger children of football.
