DingoSeanThats just the thing... the dude forces his personality. its a blatantly false persona to stir up controversy and gain attention.
Its not even disney's fault. ESPN might have been the first to really start it with tit-for-tat talking head shows where two guys would disagree on something just for the sake of television... thats the whole point of PTI half the time... They basically mainstream'd todays recreational outrage we see on cable TV.
Gone are the days we tuned into ESPN to watch sportscenter and the day's highlights and sports news... now all we see is forced personalities to try to cater to people they want to target...
I mean it is disneys fault, ESPN used to have decent producing, they talked about sports and sportcenter was really good. Producing of content goes straight to the higher ups, the reason people force their personas so much is because they told to do so, its so blatant and egregious.
Disney's fingerprints are all over ESPN now, its so obvious to me that I can't even listen to their commentators during MNF, its fucking awful. The manning cast is the coolest thing ESPN has done in a decade and they dont produce it (hint, thats why its good).
