I totally agree about the hour special. Please no one watch it, it is a stupid hype machine.
I've been working like crazy on this special for the last couple of days...please everyone watch it :)

Agreed with Schneed. I have my opinions about the way the game is called too, which I hate.
Key example, were the Patriots that won a bunch of Super Bowls with sub-par and aging rosters

can someone explain why this is getting so much pub? it's being broadcast on espn for a freakin hour??? are you kidding me? what a joke! you could not pay me to watch this garbage. espn ought to be ashamed of themselves for buying into the hype of this attention whore, ego maniac. kobe destroys this guy by miles. i'd rather watch the womens us open at oakmont, or watch the hard knocks re runs on NFL Network.
Speaking of Hard Knocks I can't wait til the new season. It's such a great show. I've been watching the re-runs too.

skinsfan69, there is a market though that is why it is on.
ESPN didn't get to where it is currently at by airing TV which was not highly rated, got attention, etc. Although you and I probably share that opinion, I think many don't. I think younger generation especially. Not ESPN's fault, rather what society is interested in.
It's big news, hell even the guys on NFL radio are talking about Lebron. I'm getting tired of it too but it will die down by the end of the week.

Analysis, live interview with LeBron. This will rate higher than any taped programming we would have had there.

One trickle of entertainment I have found in all of this is how ESPN is hyping it and SI is bashing it.
