Article about ESPN
I came across this article and even though it's a couple years old its message holds true

Sounds right. The last time they tried to be the first to break a news story, Les Miles was going to be Michigan's head coach.

Wasn't that Herbstreit that "broke" the Miles story. Talk about a freaking mess.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was him.

I love how it captures the essence of how the self absorbed "reporters" from ESPN feel that something becomes newsworthy in the sports world because they decide to talk about it.

I see his point on ESPN's knack of taking others stories and "breaking" them, but the rest of it comes of as jealousy. So he stands at Jorge Posada's locker and asks him why he stranded three runners in the eighth inning. Should he receive a Pulitzer for that? Honestly, who cares about Posada's answer?
I'm not an ESPN lover or anything, but with this rant, Dater comes off as the type of guy that claims that he's not dating Scarlett Johansson because she would want him to move to New York, and he doesn't want to live in New York, when the truth is that he was never an option anyway.
