November 7, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Could you elaborate, please? I will try since I am still confused. Yesterday's sports center had coverage of a mock press conference with Phillips playing the GM for the Red Sox. Half way thru, they cut to Stu Scott and he was like we are having technical difficulties. Does phillips want a job, or is this just inance ESPN crap??
November 7, 200520 yr They're not doing a White Sox "mock press conference" because championship teams don't generally need as much "former GM fixer-upper wizardry". This is nothing more than airtime filler to keep their baseball people occupied. Pedro Gomez will be filing reports each week from up Barry Bonds' ass, but everyone else needs something to do.
November 7, 200520 yr Yea I saw that. I couldn't believe it. The Critic is right, ESPN needs something to do now that baseball is over. What a joke that was. What they can't wait to hire a GM for an official press conference that they need a mock press conference? ESPN= Boston Red Sox television. I'll stick to Comcast- its all the Chicago sports we can ever ask for.

November 7, 200520 yr That was a REALLY lame segment. It was just plain BAD to watch. ESPN is no longer the World Wide leader in sports. THey used to be, but have been falling for some time and that topped it off. Bring on Comcast Sportsnet!!!
November 7, 200520 yr Oh my God they are doing one for the Yankees to. f***ing retarded. I hate how they pretend it's real. Die ESPN. Just die.

November 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Comcast is pretty sucky Outside of all the boring Big Ten Football Press Conferences, CSN is great Chicago sports coverage. Tribune Live is kinda annoying but you gotta love the monstrous Sox champion covers on the wall. Oh, and SportsNite >>>>>>>>>>(infinity)>>>>>>>>>>>>> SportsCenter
November 7, 200520 yr You know what was funniest? The fact that they had some big Warning lable that the whole thing was fake. Yeah, like someone was dumb enough to hire Steve Phillips as a GM.
November 7, 200520 yr Wow...I just saw today's about the Yanks. This is the most f***ing awful idea ever.
November 7, 200520 yr There is really no point in watching ESPN ever unless a game is on one of their family of network channels you wanna watch, or you need to find the score of a game (and even then, use Comcast Sportsnet). ESPN blows and we should all just learn to ignore their trash, because they are going to cater to the stupid and largest fanbases, and we are neither of those luckily. Just remember, all the media propaganda nonsense isn't going to take away our WORLD TITLE.
November 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) :headshake This is just flat dumb. Dumb.Dumb.Dumb. I don't bash ESPN alot, because I respect what they do, alot. If you take ESPN for what it is, a network that provides sports fan up to the second news about the games we love, its a great channel. Sports IMO would be no where near the level of popularity that they are at now if ESPN was not around. ESPN needs to get back to there roots, show the highlights, and give there views. Thats it. It all went downhill once they left this Sportscenter set. They feel it's insufficient for them to just give us sports scores, since the scores are flashing on the walls of their cool new set.

November 8, 200520 yr Hey, atleast we get to see the Cubs press conference tomorrow. No, seriously Steve Phillips will be doing a Cubs press conference tomorrow.
November 8, 200520 yr I think they'll end up doing all the teams. It's pretty easy to cringe at watching him do the teams I despise; it's going to be even worse when we have to see him f*** up his impression of KW.

It's pretty easy to cringe at watching him do the teams I despise; it's going to be even worse when we have to see him f*** up his impression of KW. I think they're doing only 5 teams: Sawx, yanks, cubs, dodgers, stros. I think, not sure about that.

It's already f***ing stupid, imagine how old it will be by the time they get to the 20th press conference.
