ESPN Names that you hear to Much!!!

[Olymokes]

Just want to see how many names get called out here...
What is your list of "ESPN is talking way to much about him"?

The first name on Espn to annoy me was.....(drum roll please)
Thats right~ OJ Simpson
Micheal Jordon
Kobe Bryant (sry rllngn)
Brett Favre *my number1 I can't stand his name*
Lebron James
Tiger Woods
Now I know some of you are die hards for your teams and players but this is not about them just about the Sports Media going over board!!!

I'm going to take a different angle on this post and mention a few names that ESPN doesn't mention enough. Yes, they have gotten some press this year but they really deserve more, as well as the sport they represent as a whole!

Walter Ray Williams, Jr. (Pro Bowler)
Chris Barnes (Pro Bowler)
Norm Duke (Pro Bowler)
Kelly Kulick (Pro Bowler)

Calvin Borel (Jockey)

And of course, this list wouldn't be complete without pro poker players!

Daniel Negranu
Scotty Nguyen
David Williams
Phil Helmuth

I could go on...

Kelly Kulick deserved FAR more press than what she received when she won the Tournament of Champions. No woman had won on the PBA National Tour until she showed up and dominated from start to finish (She was invited to compete as the Woman's world champion). I swear if it had happened in any other sport besides bowling, it would have been all over the news, internet, etc. Instead it was treated like a "Good Morning, America" type story at best.

Do they talk at all about bowling on Espn? I agree Tay they need to get more coverage of poker players going....But Phil would be on the they say his name way to much list from the coverage he already gets...So to me he's kinda a whole other subject!

Yes it airs every Sunday except during the summer.

Why would ESPN talk about bowling when nobody cares about bowling?

Good point. Unless its Wii Bowling.

I dont think they mention Nate McClouth enough. And Chipper Jones.
