kinda weak.

Are you talking about Michael Irvin? He's a notorious drunk. He works for NFL Network now but he used to be on ESPN's NFL Pregame show. Constantly drunk on set.

I can't watch SportsCenter or ESPN in general anymore. Their 'Embrace the Debate' mindset has ruined everything. SC is 10% highlights, 70% Debates w/ Talking Points, and 20% Talking about what another Talking Head had to say about the Talking Points. It's derivative trash. PTI's success was the genesis of it, which is sad because PTI is actually good. Now they just grab whoever has name recognition and put them in a roundtable for ten minutes. Gruesome. They manufacture their own stories (like Jaws saying Kaepernick is a GOAT contender) just so they can fill it up with more bullshit. God forbid they have a random hockey highlight instead. I don't even like hockey. But it's the principle. I understand that it's all ratings driven, but it's a chicken or the egg debate. If they had never started this practice and the idiots watching it didn't grow accustomed to it, it wouldn't be a ratings driving force. Plus they purposefully restricted the personalities of the anchors for a long period of time because they kept losing top anchors (Patrick, Olbermann, Eisen, etc.) because they had become household names with leverage. Now they realized that quirkiness and personality was what made SportsCenter so great and they're trying to allow their anchors to spice it up a bit but it's all so forced now. They've truly fucked it all up.
