NFL Lockout

I have to say I don't know whether I'm more annoyed with the fact that the lockout is still on, or by the constant coverage ESPN gives it. As all of us know, it is a business so I understand why each side is squabbling, trying to get what best suits them into the new CBA. However the fact is, it's not about the players or the owners, it's about US. We are the ones that go to the games, that buy the merchandise, and watch on TV. We are the ones that put tremendous sums of money not only into the owners pockets, but the players as well. It's really aggravating to see some of the little things that they are bickering over on a daily basis. I compare it to the politicians in this country in which all they are trying to do is look out for themselves instead of the greater good.

With that said my goodness ESPN. You used to be a pretty good news organization with regard to sports but it's amazing how much the coverage has changed since you bought out Disney. Every single day you have a countdown on how long the lockout has been going on, to go along with a rant by one of the anchor's at the desk which segways into video we have already seen numerous times. From there it goes to live shots of Sal Paolantonio, Adam Schefter, Chris Mortenson and John Clayton and this is just during the morning edition of SportsCenter. They also have different programing which discusses the lockout throughout the day( NFL Live, JRIB, Around the Horn, PTI) to go along with their afternoon and night SportsCenter which gives us more rants by different anchors to breaking news of Aaron Rodgers walking out of a Burger King and saying no deal is imminent. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts not only about the lockout, but also by ESPN's coverage of it as well.
