Shut up, John Boy...
ESPN did us all the disservice of showing Miami/Duke on ESPN360, meaning it was only available online. Nothing like paying over $100 for GamePlan only to have two lesser Canes game shown solely on the Internet. News flash, ESPN. That 360 thing? It sucks. Quit trying to shove yet another paid product down our throats. Thanks.Being that only about 3% of college football fans can access ESPN360, thankfully this 20-15 debacle was missed most. Still, ABC and ESPN will have their fun showing the ALMOST upset and finding a way to tie it last week's brawl. Anything to keep beating that dead horse.
ABC's John Saunders ran his fat mouth after the Miami's game-saving interception.
When they broke to the studio with the post-game highlights, Saunders flat out stated that he was pulling for Duke. Not just because they were the underdog but because he personally didn't feel that The U (and Donna Shalala) handed out a harsh enough punishment regarding last Saturday's brawl with FIU.
Thanks, John. Nothing like some biased, irresponsible journalism to make a college football Saturday incomplete. First off, announcers are supposed to be unbiased. You're not supposed to pick a side to root for on national television. You didn't even attempt to mask your Miami bias.
Furthermore, I didn't know it was the job of a former junior league hockey player from Canada (check John's bio) to determine the punishment a private university should dole out for its players. As we've said around here all week, John Boy - if it's good enough for the University of Miami as well as the top brass at the ACC, you critics need to accept that.
Openly rooting against Miami and undermining what the school and conference determined was fair? That's not your job. Sit there and earn your check by offering mediocre commentary, as you do every Saturday.
Save your bias for when the red light on the camera is off.

I agree. Most of us were treated with Linda Cohn's opinions during the bonus coverage of the game as well as that Trevor guy...who is that guy again? Right, I don't care. Leave the commentary to the analysts and check your opinions at the door. That disgust towards a program is ridiculous for any adult to feel towards a team of teenagers and young adults. Giving biased commentary about how all of America wants to see Miami lose to Duke is harsh and downright incorrect. ESPN disgusts me.
