I think ESPN sucks for a lot of reasons. The way they focus in one story and blow it up is one of them. This one hour special is just another thing I think sucks about ESPN.

The agenda and format of Sportscenter is another one. Their shitty sports coverage is the biggest one, and the commercialization of the entire product at the expense of legitimate sports news is also a big reason.

I'm not saying they don't have their reasons to do this. It's good for business and they obviously are doing well. I don't like it though. That's why I don't watch ESPN except for televised sporting events.
I get my coverage elsewhere. The leagues all have their own networks with far superior coverage, and sports writing is the goods.
