[QUOTE="MAcFroggy, post: 2451947, member: 70009"] Totally agree. Deadspin used to be great. It is now pretty much unreadable. I am not a Clay Travis fan, but I agree with one thing I have heard him say multiple times. It is something like... When Joe Six pack pops open a beer and sits on the couch when he gets home from work he wants to watch sports, sports highlights, and sports debate. The last thing most people want is to be lectured by sports casters about what they should believe or listen to issues outside the sports realm. ESPN seems to believe that Travis is wrong because they have pushed politics and other issues a lot recently. I do not know what the truth is, but I do know that my habits have greatly changed over the past few years. I hardly ever turn on ESPN to watch SportsCenter anymore. For years, I would turn ESPN on in the morning to listen/watch while getting ready in the morning and would flip it on when I got back from work while cooking or doing chores. ESPN is never on my TV in the mornings anymore and I hardly ever have it on as background noise in the afternoon. I am not 100% sure if I just decided I didn't care for ESPN opinions on sports issues anymore, the shows got stale, or I was tired of politics in my sports talk, but I think it is a combination of all three.
