ESPN Bias - Irish Envy

LAIrish · 02-06-2008, 12:30 PM

If you are looking for evidence of an anti-ND bias with ESPN, look no further than the fact that NOWHERE on today's LIVE BLOG as of 12:22 ET is there any reference to any news regarding Notre Dame.

Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is nothing news worthy going on in South Bend today.

i'm encourage espn to ease up on their coverage of us. let fuel for the haters to claim they love us, which they dont at all.

They just posted that ND's full class is in. They went on to make this statement: "Even though this Notre Dame class isn't as talented as some in the recent past, it does meet some key Irish needs." What? If this isn't the most talented class coming in for at least a decade, probably more, someone needs to wake me up. Unless by "recent past" they mean since the early 90s. ESPN sickens me, but any time they're not saying something blatantly negative about ND, I'll just count my blessings and move on.

They have ND as the 7th best recruiting class in their rankings. What a f-ing joke. They have guys listed in their top 150 who I have never heard of, and I follow this stuff more than the average fan. They are just stupid.

Colin Cowheard also went out of his way to say in so many words... "Notre Dame is small and slow and has been for years... these rankings are accurate for every other team in the country but them, period! And until they show otherwise shut your freakin mouths ND fans."

I thought that BOTH Rival and Scout had ND's class pegged as #2 in the country. Small and slow? This guy been looking in the mirror, or something?
